If you are in the market for a new car
and opt to buy a 2013 Dodge Avenger, you are making a safe choice.
We're not talking about risk or coolness factors here. This is
literally about safety.
The 2013 Dodge Avenger has been
included on the list of safest cars released by the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety for this year. It occupies a spot on the
list with other reliable makes and models like the Honda Accord, Ford
Fusion, Kia Optima and Subaru Outback. This is great news for Dodge
owners who love their car and want to upgrade to a new model.
Placement on the IIHS list speaks
volumes to the quality of an automobile. Each vehicle tested by the
IIHS is given a good, acceptable, marginal or poor rating based on
rigorous criteria.
The main thing the IIHS does is put
each vehicle through all types of crashes. It bases a crash test
rating from head-on crashes, side impacts, rear impacts and roll
overs. The IIHS also evaluates the effectiveness of seat belts, head
restraints and air bags in protecting from head or neck injuries
during impact.
In these categories, the 2013 Dodge
Avenger rated at acceptable or good. It earned a top safety pick
status from the IIHS. If you are a Texas resident you can test drive a Dodge Avenger at Holt DCJ of TX. If you live elsewhere, take a trip to your local Dodge dealer. You can get firsthand experience on how safe it feels and handles.
That doesn't mean you should treat a
trip to the grocery store like a lap down the Las Vegas Motor
Speedway. Driving a safe car does not mean much without a safe driver
to go along with it. You don't get to rack up a higher score or power
up by taking out fire hydrants, trees and other obstacles while going
from point A to point B.
What driving a top safety pick car like
the Dodge Avenger means is that you will be better protected from
whatever loser chooses to do these sorts of things. You got to admit
that feels comforting. None of us wants to feel like we are some
obstacle meant to be taken out in some real-life first-person driving
video game.
