The Honda Civic was recognized as the Best Compact Car for the Money, earning its award based on several factors including its incredibly low cost-to-own, impressive fuel efficiency, fun-to-drive handling and a host of tech. The Honda Odyssey continues its reign as the Best Minivan for the Money this year, once again being recognized for its competitive price tag, spacious interior, comfortable ride, smooth handling and easy-to-use technologies.

Determining Quality & Value

You might be wondering how exactly these “Best Cars for the Money” awards are determined, and that’s certainly a fair question. The editors at US News and World Report create monthly rankings in which every vehicle they analyze gets an overall numerical score, but this isn’t based on their own opinions. Instead, the editors compile tons of data from reputable sources throughout the industry press to analyze specific aspects of their reviews and combine that with each vehicle’s actual specifications to determine that model’s score. For the “Best Cars for the Money” awards, this overall score is then compared to a combination of information that the editors use to determine a vehicle’s value, including actual transaction costs and long-term cost-to-own data.

Needless to say, we’re definitely excited to see these two Honda models recognized in this awards. If you have questions about the Civic or Odyssey, don’t hesitate to give us a call here at the sales desk, we’d be happy to help!
