Kelley Blue Book® has long been a trusted resource for car buyers. The KBB.com list of the “10 Best Back-to-School Cars” is a great starting point for parents and students looking for a new ride to take to college. KBB.com released their top picks for 2017 last month, and one thing was clear: For students, Honda vehicles are a great choice. The Honda brand took more places on the list than any other automaker.
The 2017 Honda HR-V took the #4 spot on the list. KBB.com had this to say about the unstoppable SUV: “…the newest addition to the Honda lineup very quickly established itself as the benchmark in the burgeoning subcompact SUV segment.” Up next was the 2017 Honda Civic at #3. “The 2017 Honda Civic is our Compact Car Best Buy for 2017, our Overall Best Buy for 2017, and a repeat winner of both. It’s a good first new car for students and just about anyone else,” said KBB.com*.
And taking the top spot as the best back-to-school car was the ever-popular 2017 Honda Fit, with glowing praise from KBB.com: “The fun, funky and functional Honda Fit is the well-rounded varsity team captain of this annual list. Proven value, famous reliability and five-star safety are proven parent pleasers, while the [Honda] Fit’s standout style, fun-to-drive nature and class-leading cargo flexibility will satisfy students all the way to the real world.”
If “fun, funky, and functional”—not to mention “fun-to-drive”—sounds just your speed, head in to Hall Honda Elizabeth City. Not only do we have plenty of 2017 Honda Fit models in stock, we’ve got even more brand-new 2018 Honda Fit models. Retuned suspension dampers, a more rigid steering system, and additional body reinforcements improve on the already top-of-segment Honda Fit driving dynamics. Inside, improved transmission and steering system mounting hardware, combined with the addition of acoustic-laminated glass and more insulation throughout the vehicle, give a big boost to cabin quietness.
Affordability, safety, and style are the primary drivers behind the selections on the KBB.com list, so it’s no wonder that Honda vehicles came out on top. For great deals on new and pre-owned Honda vehicles, head into our Elizabeth City, NC Honda dealership today.
