According to recent surveys by prominent automotive reviewers, Japanese automakers continue to lead the way in terms of high vehicle resale value. Of course, Brandfon Honda is pleased to hear that Honda just so happens to be one of the most prominent leaders of the pack.
More specifically, the trusty auto experts at Kelley Blue Book found new Honda models to take the number one spots in the following crucial automotive segments: subcompact, compact, sporty compact, and midsize. The Honda Fit, Civic, Civic Si, and Accord were the winners.
Just in case that isn't enough to sway your opinion, the folks at ALG conducted a similar resale value survey of their own. Guess who they placed at the very top overall? That's right. Our favorite automaker Honda.
For those wandering exactly why high resale value is important, allow us to put it simply. Vehicles that top the charts in this particular category are those which show the least amount of depreciation over the first few years of ownership. Low depreciation translates to high quality and fewer trips to your local Honda parts and car service and maintenance center.
In a recent article, USA Today points out, "KBB's and ALG's indexes are closely watched in the car industry because projected resale value over five years is considered a key measure of quality and how well automakers are managing their business."1
