Kelley Blue Book Value
The Best Cars For Tough Economic Times
With the economy being at an all-time low and with millions of Americans being unemployed, savvy consumers are watching their bottom line more than ever when it comes time to purchasing a car. Buying a make and model that is not known for its reliability can result in thousands of dollars in repair costs down the line. In these difficult times, it makes sense to invest in a vehicle that’s dependable, offers a great value and most importantly will retain its value when it comes to resale time. Here are the top reasonably priced low maintenance autos.
Honda Accord – This family sedan has developed a reputation throughout the years as being one of the most reliable family sedans around. As a matter of fact, Car and Driver magazine named the Accord one of the 10 Best cars and it was named Best Resale Value in its class by Kelley Blue book. Drivers get to select from two V4 engines or a more powerful V6. Gas mileage is exemplary at 21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the freeway for the V4 models. The interior of the Accord is extra roomy and Bluetooth compatibility is a standard feature on all models. Pricing for the base model starts at around the mid $19k range, a reasonable price for a dependable and reliable car with the accolades to prove it.
Honda Civic-The Civic is another Honda classic and leader in the compact affordable car segment. All Civics except the SI model utilize a 1.8 Liter Engine and fuel economy stands at 25 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the freeway. The interior offers a modern looking dash and eye catching gauges. Seats are comfortable and the tilt and telescoping wheel allows the driver to find the most comfortable seating position. The Civic offers a remarkable mixture of functionality, affordability and high resale value. Pricing starts at the mid $14k range; truly a steal for a vehicle that will stand the test of time.
Mazda3-The Mazda3 is an affordable small compact vehicle that offers a sporty and engaging drive. The 2010 model sports a 205 Liter four cylinder engine with 167 hp and 168 lb feet of torque. The interior is on the refined side and almost upscale even though the Mazda3 is a low priced vehicle. Options include a Bose Audio system, a dual zone climate control system, Bluetooth compatibility and push button start; all rare features in an economy car. Gas mileage is at 22 mpg in the city and 30 mpg mpg the freeway. The Mazda3 would be a suitable choice for the buyer who doesn’t want to compromise on quality and performance but still wants a reasonably priced car.
When times are tough you don’t want to worry about your car breaking down or having to spend a ton of money at the gas pump. Any of these three cars would be a a smart purchase in the current economic climate; all are affordable, offer great fuel economy and are reliable. The Accord and Civic especially have both developed rock solid reputations as cars that can stand the test of time.
