During these times, sales people will always throw in a monkey wrench just to close a deal. And the magic word today is Best Value referring to affordability and consumption. While you are bound to get a lot of that along the way, be advised that there is only one that truly fits these needs. And that car is the Honda Civic, branded as the Best Value car by Edmunds.com.
“Anyone truly concerned about their household expenses should ask some questions about any methodology that finds a premium hybrid vehicle to be an excellent value, especially when gas prices are so low,” warns Edmunds.com CEO Jeremy Anwyl. “It makes sense that value is top of mind for many car buyers; for consumers seeking the absolute best new car value, the 2009 Honda Civic is the best choice, not the Prius.”
Edmunds.com, whose extensive data department has been projecting comprehensive five-year vehicle ownership costs since 2002, has determined that the Prius Touring actually ranks 41st in terms of ownership costs. The industry-leading Honda Civic will cost $8,042 less than the Prius over five years of ownership.
