Buffalo Honda families can now get the 2011 Honda Odyssey at West Herr Honda.  The Odyssey is the perfect family.  Not only has it received the best possible safety score from the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also named it “the safest minivan on the road.”

The Institute for Highway Safety award “recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting vehicle occupants involved in front, side and rear crashes, plus rollover performance based on ratings in IIHS tests, as well as having a standard electronic stability control system.”  The Institute for Highway Safety has just updated their tests and recently installed a new and more difficult grading scale, which the Odyssey passed with flying colors.  As a result the Honda Odyssey is an Institute for Highway Safety top safety pick.

There are several categories in which the vehicles are rated by the NHTSA, including overall frontal crash safety, overall side crash safety and rollover rating.  The Odyssey scored a five, the highest score, in the overall frontal crash safety and overall side crash safety and achieve 4 stars in the rollover rating.

Built To Keep Buffalo Honda Families Safe

There are several features that contribute to the Odyssey’s overall safety.  These features include an Anti-lock Braking System with Electronic Brake Distribution and Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control.  This car is designed to prevent an accident from even happening but at the same time it is fully equipped to protect once the collision occurs.

In addition, the Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure ensures that each passenger is protected by the sheer design of the car.  It helps with distributing energy from a crash evenly throughout the body of the car to help take away energy from the site of initial impact.

Even with all its safety innovations, the Odyssey still knows how to have fun. The entertainment system is sure to keep all occupants happy.  The newest feature is called “Song by Voice,” and it allows the driver to command his or her favorite song by simply saying it out loud.  It doesn’t get much easier than that.  Another feature drivers just can’t resist is HandsFree Bluetooth, allowing them to make phone calls without being distracted.
