Two Honda Models Named Consumer Guide Best Buys for 2023

Honda is no stranger to award-winning vehicles, and this year isn’t any different. Consumer Guides released their 2023 Best Buys, and both the Civic and Ridgeline made the list. That makes several years in a row for each vehicle to win in its category, and that’s all thanks to Honda’s value, features, and safety. As some brands struggled to keep up with shortages during the last few years, Honda managed adapt to a changing market and come out on top.

What Makes a Best Buy?

Consumer Guide is a trusted third-party source with over 50 years of finding the best value for its customers in 18 categories of vehicles. They’re broken down by category, like compact car or full-sized SUV, and tested by Consumer Guide’s editing team on a long checklist of criteria. Points are earned in categories like technology, fuel efficiency, price, and resale value to determine which vehicles are the best of the best.

With a starting price of $25,050 and impressive list of standard and available features, it’s not hard to see why the 2023 Honda Civic made the list. This is the sixth year in a row for the Civic to top the Compact Car category, and it’s only gotten better with each passing year. Its Honda Sensing system includes safety features like a Collision Mitigation Braking System and Adaptive Cruise Control, which all come standard with each model.

The Compact Pickup Truck Best Buy went to the 2023 Ridgeline, a durable and practical workhorse that’s well-suited for a variety of uses. It’s just as capable of tackling dirty jobs as it is transporting you and your passengers in comfort. There’s seating for five, with an adaptable cabin that’s easily configurable to change with your needs. The 280-horspower engine is there whether you’re cruising the highways or towing a heavy load, and all-wheel drive can get you there in any condition.
