Honda Automobiles: Honda Civic Sedan and Fit Selected as Edmunds.com Top Rated Vehicles

The 2015 Honda Civic Sedan (automobiles.honda.com/civic-sedan/) and all-new 2015 Honda Fit 5-door (automobiles.honda.com/fit/) have been recognized as Top Rated Vehicles by Edmunds.com. A total of eight Honda models in six vehicle categories have received the award from Edmunds.com so far this year.

“We’re thrilled to have two more of our core models recognized by Edmunds.com as we continue our progress toward a record sales year for the Honda brand,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division. “The Civic and the Fit often represent new buyers’ introductions into the Honda brand, and this recognition from a trusted resource offers reassurance that they’re making the right choice with a Honda.”

Edmunds.com evaluates about 200 cars each year. Each vehicle is driven on a standardized road test loop and a test track where instrumented testing in controlled conditions is conducted. Edmunds.com uses its findings to grade how a car stacks up against competitors in respect to size and price class. Vehicles that earn an “A” rating receive an Edmunds.com Top Rated Award.
