Value, Affordability, Reliability & Drivability

What are the most important features for a young car driver making their first automobile purchase? Graduation is right around the corner and many College and High School students will be deciding which car best suits their lifestyle and wallet as well. 

Value, affordability, reliability, and drivability are the top concerns for any car customer, no less a young driver.

1) Value. While Hondas are not the least expensive cars on the market, they are affordable and offer great value for the money. There are many base models that run under $20,000. Hondas base models include standard features such as power windows and door locks, anti-lock brakes and airbags. These standard safety and comfort features make Honda a value that a lower priced vehicle just cannot compete with.

2) Affordability. Gas prices have soared in recent years. Honda's gas mileage helps young drivers get further on a single tank of gas.

3) Reliability. All new cars are reliable.  But when you factor long term reliability, Hondas beat nearly every other model. If properly maintained, you can expect your Honda to run over a decade, traveling upwards of 200,00 miles or more.  Also repair costs tend to be lower than other models.

4) Drivability. Because of Honda's good handling, quick acceleration, comfort and sporty looks, many Honda owners become lifelong aficionados. Another important aspect to many young car buyers is making sure they are living eco-friendly. Hybrid Options are plentiful. In fact, many of Honda's models come in hybrid versions including the Honda Insight which has a base price of around $18,000.
