We want to make choosing which car to buy one of the easy decisions you’ll make this year.

Here are five reasons why you should buy a Honda.

1. Dependability. Honda has a reputation among many buyers for producing reliable vehicles. J.D. Power has recognized multiple Honda models over the years for their dependability, including the 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Ridgeline, and 2013 Honda Fit.*
2. Safety. Honda has set a goal to one day achieve a “collision-free future,” and has taken multiple steps to make transportation safer for families. In addition, Honda models feature advanced safety features like the Honda Sensing® suite of driver-assistive technologies. Honda has earned multiple Top Safety Pick designations from the IIHS for its 2018 models, including the Accord, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, and Ridgeline.**
3. Eco-Conscious. Honda values fuel economy and environmentally friendly engineering in its models, both in its traditional gasoline-powered models and hybrids — such as the EPA-estimated 340 mile range of its new Plug-in Hybrid Clarity.*** In addition, Honda aims to ensure its facilities are striving to be environmentally conscious through its “Green Factory” initiatives and corresponding Green Factory Environmental Achievement Award it distributes.
4. Versatility. Honda has a diverse lineup with models ranging from the subcompact Fit to the Ridgeline pickup truck. Need to transport your family of seven? Consider the popular Honda Odyssey minivan. Looking for a sophisticated sedan for business travel? Consider the Honda Accord.
5. Value. Honda prices its vehicles at suggested costs that make them affordable for buyers on a budget, and the balance of cost and value have earned the brand multiple Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards. For instance, the 2018 Accord won the KBB Overall Best Buy of the Year, Best Resale Value and Best Buy: Midsize Car for 2018.****
6. Since Honda cars were first sold in America, they have been high-value, affordable models. While the first Hondas did not come with many features, today’s cars have long lists of standard features, while still being affordable. This means you can get the features you want without breaking your budget.
