With all the reliability and dependability the brand is known for at a fraction the price of a new vehicle, a used Honda is an excellent choice. Choosing to buy used means buying a vehicle whose performance has been proven, and choosing to buy a Honda means getting a car that is sporty, dynamic, and respected. Here are a few reasons to buy used, and two models to consider.
The Smart Choice: Reliability and Affordability in a Used Honda
Why Buy Used?
Buying used gives drivers several opportunities that just don’t come with a brand-new car. First, it makes ownership affordable, meeting customers where they’re at. Buying used also takes advantage of depreciation, the rapid decline in value most vehicles experience in the first few years of their life cycle. Buying later on still means getting automotive excellence, but it significantly reduces the price tag.
That lower cost can be used for any number of benefits. Some buyers may prefer to pocket the extra dough, but others will use a lower overall price to choose trims of a vehicle that would otherwise be out of their budget. That means extras like a moonroof, larger engine, or luxury features like leather trim or premium audio systems are simply more affordable.
Incredible Capability in a 2020 Honda CR-V
When it comes to delivering everything an SUV can offer in a compact package, it’s tough to beat the CR-V. A turbocharged 4-cylinder engine delivers up to 190 horsepower while still getting up to 30 mpg combined, maximizing both power and efficiency. There’s over 40 inches of legroom in both rows, so everyone has the room to stretch out and enjoy even long journeys in comfort.
A staggering cargo capacity of up to 37.6 cubic feet means having plenty of room for goods and gear even with the back seat upright, and folding it down makes the cargo hold even more cavernous. With the CR-V’s ability to tow up to 1,500 pounds, weekend getaways offer even more excitement. And a five-star overall crash test rating from the NHTSA and Top Safety Pick from the IIHS reflect its excellent safety.
Sedan Excellence in the 2018 Honda Accord
The 2018 Honda Accord is another Top Safety Pick winner that also snagged an Editor’s Choice and 10Best ranking from Car and Driver. Its entry-level 1.5-liter intercooled turbo motor makes up to 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, though a larger 2.0-liter engine bumps those numbers to 252 hp and 273 lb-ft respectively in higher trims.
