Looking to buy a new car, thinking Honda or Acura (same brand). Any others I should consider?
I'm currently on the last legs of my chevy cobalt, which was my first car. Despite it being a dinky little GM it has taken me far and been a great car. Sad to see it go. However, I want to buy a car with more longevity. I know Honda's are great, strong cars with quality that lasts. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding a used one around me right now with the details I want (sedan and sunroof, black interior, not beige, grey or white).
What are some other makes that stand the test of time? I know toyota's are great as well, but having a similar issue finding a used one around me. I want more options to look into.
Another person who has been fooled by the hype thinking Honda and Toyota are best… Far from it. You should work on them everyday and you would have a much different opinion.
Since used Honda often sell for more than their book value, you should look at Kia & Hyundai the have better reliability rating than Honda at the current time. The new cars with a 100,000 warranty proved they were serious about making cars which last. The Hyundai Sonata is a really nice luxury ride, good luck.
Toyota is known for making long lasting reliable cars just look at the odometers of some of the older ones and a world famous mechanic- Scotty Kilmer only recommends them. Honda and Acura are also great cars however in the past they have had a lot of flaws in there transmissions causing failure. Nissan is about borderline between Toyota and Honda. Any cars from these Japanese cars should be able to last a long time just by doing routine maintenance as the owners manual recommends.
We have an 09 Lexus, just a lovely car.
- Should I buy a brand new honda civic? Why or why not? I need a new car that is inexpensive, has full warranty, is reliable and I feel that's the best fit.
- Is it a good deal to buy brand new honda civic 2015 for $18000 OR brand new honda civic 2016 for $22,500? I chose 2015 honda civic for $18000 because I wanted to keep my monthly payments low. Did I save money here?
- Looking at cars and noticed some pics of the 2018 Honda Accord show no gear shifter while others do. Can someone explain this? Confused? Some of these cars appear to have no shifter at all in the pics i've seen While others have the normal, between the seats gear shifter than has been pretty standard for 30+ years. Do you shift these cars some other way(the ones that don't have it)? Is it like a Jaguar where the controls are hidden until you turn the car on(at which point they pop up)? Or what
- I'm Looking for a brand new 2015 vehicle? So I'm a first time buyer and I'm looking for a sporty car that's not listed as sport with car insurance. My budget is $19500. Some cars that I'm interested in: 2015 Mazda 3 2015 Honda CR Z 2015 Honda Accord Coupe 2015 Hyundai Veloster. If you have any other suggestions please share. Do you think it'd be possible to negotiate with a car dealer and get one of those for $19,500? I know the Honda CR-Z is listed as 22,000
