Why choose a Honda vehicle?
When looking into buying a new car, it’s understandable that there’s a lot to consider and it can become overwhelming very quickly. On average, it takes 89 days for a person to go through the whole research process and finally buy a car. With a Honda, the process is made a lot simpler - with renowned reliability, fuel efficiency and low maintenance costs, Honda have proven time and time again that they are the car of choice, whether you're a driving veteran or have just passed your driving test. Those who have owned any model will stand by the notion that these cars will last you a lifetime and beyond - getting from A to B couldn’t be any simpler! Combining durability and performance means that the Honda brand should be a serious consideration for anyone who’s looking at a vehicle that’ll take them everywhere they need to go.
Choosing the right Honda for your lifestyle
Whilst there are many options of Honda out there, there are several considerations you must make before deciding which model to choose:
Your budget
When buying any new car, you need to consider your budget. Many may think that if a car is as durable and reliable as they say all Hondas are, then the price must be the compromise. However, there is no compromise with this brand - if you take a look back into the history of the company, the founder himself wanted to create a brand that combined reliability and affordability without compromising on safety and durability. Due to this, maintenance costs are also reduced so you don’t need to worry about costly repairs. Most models fall under the ’affordable’ category which is what makes them ideal for new drivers or those on a smaller budget.
Safety features
As more cars exist on the road every year, it’s important that we understand what safety features come as standard on any car that we want to buy. The introduction of mobile devices has enhanced this need further. Many Honda vehicles come with many safety features as standard and some include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW), amongst many others. Their commitment to keeping their customers safe on the roads has been apparent across all of their models and to this day, maintain their values on safety and comfort.
Your lifestyle needs
Similar to fuel efficiency, you’ll need a car that can fit into your lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a new car for your family or are looking for something smaller and nimbler for your commute, there is a Honda for everyone. If you’re looking at a bigger car, the CR-V or HR-V is a perfect family car offering a spacious interior, Honda’s very own Magic Seats and advanced safety features, like those mentioned above. When looking at the technological specifications, the infotainment system in all Honda vehicles offers an array of features to make your journey fly by quickly, including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Resale value
Due to the quality and reliability of these cars, Honda tends to retain their value against their competitors. For example, a new car can retain up to 35% of its Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) when sold, but Honda can retain over 50% of the value over the same time period. If you’re looking for a car to invest in, a Honda is the way to go.
Which Honda model should I choose?
Whilst there are several models you can choose from, it all depends on your lifestyle - the Honda Civic is great for drivers who need to commute or enjoy driving whilst the HR-V or CR-V are ideal for families or people who need more cargo space for holidays or university essentials. Choosing the right car needn’t be a hassle and Honda presents you with plenty of options to choose from that offer you everything you need to make the right decision. Of course, the model you choose can also depend on the styling you prefer - the sporty sleekness of the Civic or the larger sturdiness of the HR-V or CR-V. Whichever you choose, you can rest assured that you’ve chosen the right brand that offers everything you need for a safe and comfortable journey.
