In a hectic workday, having to wait for a bus, taxi, or public transportation to take you to and from work could be a hassle not to mention may not be safe.

If your job is over ten miles from your home, you may find the inconvenience is even more troubling especially when trying to keep to a schedule. You do have the option of purchasing your own car which might not be as costly as you think.

“US News and World Report” ranks the Honda Accord #1 in commuter cars under $30,000 when testing for gas mileage^[1], safety, and comfort. But the Accord isn’t the only Honda worth a second glance.

If you are the kind of person who wants to own the latest Honda model, then the CR-V, Civic, or a Hybrid model are available. Take note, these models vary in their specifications and it is up to you to choose which vehicle meets your needs. You can also choose to buy used Honda models for less money.

Places to search for your commuter car are your neighborhood, car retail, or sales outlets. When considering which car you need think about the type of work you do and the terrain you need to travel on your way to work. Choosing a car that meets your needs initially is less time consuming and expensive than choosing a car based on other criteria like visual appearance.

Choose the best Honda car based on your needs, capability, and number passengers that ride with you and enjoy the freedom that comes with car ownership.
