Believe it or not, but Honda makes some of the best cars in the world. That's why in many categories Honda cars are the most popular for consumers. These cars have some of the best engineering in the world, along with some of the best manufacturing standards. That's even compared to more expensive cars in the same class. When a person buys a Honda automobile, they're buying quality and reliability.

The Honda Civic cars are excellent vehicles. With models from a sedan to a coupe and even a hybrid version, many people purchase and drive this model. The more basic models cost around ,000, with the hybrid topping the price chart at around ,000. This car is also one of the best when it comes to gas mileage. The coupes and sedans get around 36 miles per gallon on the highway, while the hybrid boasts 46 highway miles per gallon. Both will save money at the pump, but keep in mind that the hybrid mileage is offset by the extra cost and the cost of a replacement battery likely needed after 3-5 years.

Honda Civic retains its value.  It's also a pleasant surprise when the offer comes for a trade in.  When the maintenance schedule is followed someone could sell the old Civic every few years and buy a new one for only a few thousand more.  For people who like driving new cars all the time, that's a great deal.

But some people don't want to sell. The same features that make resale value so high also make this car a good candidate for long term service. The key again is proper maintenance. If that's done, then this car can last 10 or even 20 years. That's a long time for a well running car. It gets to be your friend, not only your car. And there are a lot of other things to do with money other than buying or repairing vehicles.

Another nice Honda car is the Element. This small sized SUV is a real bargain.  People on the go love this vehicle.  Most of the interior is rubber, along with cloth seats and a plastic dash.  That isn't because the car is cheap.  The interior is designed to be easy to clean.  Feel free to let the kids get in when they're muddy, you can wash it down with a hose.  Your eyes aren't deceiving you, yes a hose  Leather may seem nice until the car is actually put to use.

The popularity of Honda cars is well placed. Their quality creates that popularity. Whether looking for a new or used car, consider a vehicle from Honda.
