Honda Cars

Honda was the first Japanese automaker to build cars in America, opening its Marysville, Ohio plant in 1982. The CR-V, Civic and Accord have been fixtures of American driveways ever since, and the current Civic in particular is regarded as the class benchmark.

CarQuill USA currently tracks 4 Honda models. Prices run from $24,250 for the Civic up to $40,200 for the Pilot. The line-up covers sedan and suv body styles. Fuel options across the range include petrol and hybrid. Every model here offers an automatic.

What to weigh up before you buy

Honda packages space well, and its cars drive with more precision than most family vehicles need. Reliability records are strong. The criticisms are narrow: road noise is higher than in a comparable Toyota, and Honda's continuously variable transmissions are efficient rather than enjoyable.
