What Are the Best Cars for 2023?

When you are trying to decide what new car to buy, we’re guessing you don’t want to settle for anything but the best. The thing is, it turns out the “best” can be hard to find. Everyone has their opinions, and dealerships like us can be biased. That’s right, we admit it.

But here at Rairdon’s Honda of Burien, we don’t want you to just take our word for how great our Honda models are. It turns out, there are unbiased opinions out there, and we would rather have them give it to you straight.

Honda Models on Car and Driver’s 10Best List

Every year, Car and Driver releases its 10Best list. This is a list of the top 10 vehicles that buyers can seek out that year. Usually, this list features some expensive and luxury options. Indeed, the 2023 list includes the BMW i4, the Corvette and the Porsche 718 Boxster. We won’t lie… these are nice vehicles, but they certainly come with a high price tag that is out of the budget for most drivers.

Sitting amongst these high-end performance machines are two Honda models that made the 10Best list for 2023. These models are the Honda Civic and the Honda Accord. The former of which starts at an MSRP of $24,650, while the latter starts at an MSRP of $26,520.

Obviously, this is a much more reasonable price point than much of the rest of the 10Best list. So, why did Car and Driver choose two Honda models to include in the list this year? Well, it’s actually nothing new. Honda is the winningest brand in the 10Best list’s history. The publication cites the Accord’s refined quality, smooth ride and quiet cabin, along with its improved fuel economy. For the Civic, Car and Driver notes that even the base model is “a joy to drive” thanks to its engaging handling and precise steering. The Civic for 2023 also has Type R and Si models at the top of its trim level list, delivering that high-end performance we mentioned at a budget-friendly price.

As you can see, the 2023 Honda Accord and Civic can compete with the very best cars available on the market today. Experience them for yourself by seeing us at Rairdon’s Honda of Burien for a test drive.
