It’s no doubt that the redesigned 2019 Honda Passport has turned heads with its athletic styling and powerful performance. The Passport has also caught the eyes of the team at Autotrader, as it has been named one of Autotrader’s “Best New Cars for 2019”. The Passport was one of only 12 vehicles to receive this recognition and was chosen by a unanimous decision by the Autotrader editorial experts.
If you’re considering a Honda for your next family car, you won’t be disappointed. The 2019 Honda Odyssey and Accord were recently named two of the best family cars by the U.S. News and World Report*. The Odyssey won in the minivan category, and the Accord won in the midsize car category. The U.S News and World Report selected these models based on professional automotive reviews, safety and reliability ratings, seating and cargo volume, and the availability of family-friendly features. Barker Honda in Houma is ready to help you find the perfect car for your family, and we recommend that you choose one of these two options!
The 2019 Honda Accord and Odyssey win the “2019 Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own Awards”
The 2019 Honda Accord was awarded by Kelly Blue Book as the “Best Mid-Size Car” based on its 5-year cost to own due to its excellent fuel efficiency and rugged durability. In the excitement of purchasing a new ride, many car owners don’t take the time to pause and consider not only the upfront costs of purchasing a vehicle but the long term costs of maintaining it as well. There are many great resources online that assist a customer in making an informed decision about which car models should be the most dependable, and which models are going to cause problems in the long run. Thanks to this transparent information, you can make an informed decision about projected longevity of the 2019 Honda Accord, resting assured that it was rated as the lowest 5-year cost to own by an independent source.
The Honda Accord is built with reliability in mind, further enforcing the solid reputation Honda has for manufacturing reliable vehicles. The 2019 Odyssey and Accord come loaded with value, features, and a universal promise of quality. As an added level of assurance, Honda offers a standard three year/36,000 mile warranty on all Accords to keep you covered just in case anything should happen. Not only is the Accord a strong, awarded choice, but so it the 2019 Honda Odyssey Van.
The “Best Minivan of 2019”, the 2019 Honda Odyssey was also awarded the “2019 5-Year Cost to Own Award” by Kelly Blue Book! The Odyssey excels in a number of categories, specifically reliability. As makers of dependable, reliable, economical vehicles, Honda’s special attention to detail and expert engineering has produced an incredibly safe and reliable vehicle that’s literally beat every other competitor. It’s built like a tank (but much more pleasant to drive). Such a level of precision engineering has been put into the odyssey that it stands out as an obvious choice for families looking for a safe and reliable investment.
A Valuable Option
When it comes to value, Kelly Bluebook has confirmed what smart consumers already know- Honda is a strong choice. With the addition of the awarded 2019 Accord and 2019 Odyssey to the already impressive Honda fleet, it’s easy to see how Honda has plans of solidifying its already strong brand value and reputation with consumers. These two vehicles stand among the pack as choices you can trust, as strong vehicles built on dependability and value. When you take home a Honda, you know you own a piece of machinery that you and your family can rely on for years and years to come, and the experts agree.
