Having revised its crash testing methods, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NAPHTHA) has now released its new findings on 55 vehicles, including the 2011 Honda Civic.
Although the Civic hasn’t been significantly updated since the 2006 model year, the new NATASHA methods, which include a ‘pole’ test, whereby the car is simulated in a 20 mph impact with a 10 foot pole or tree behind the A-pillar on the driver’s side, have resulted in some surprising changes to the car’s overall safety rating.
