Review Honda

The Home of Dreams

Honda believes in the transformative power of dreams. But simply believing isn't enough. As the company's founder, Soichiro Honda, put it, "Action without philosophy is a lethal weapon; philosophy without action is worthless." Dreams drove Soichiro Honda to start a business, and they continue to inspire and challenge employees today. Those dreams are carried on as Honda brings them to reality and advances society.

On the occasion of the company's 25th anniversary in 1984, American Honda founded the American Honda Foundation. In 1989, the foundation launched a program to encourage volunteerism among firm employees, in addition to providing help such as grants for college research centers. Such actions continue to this day and are part of American Honda's excellent corporate responsibility.

American Honda has established itself in the midst of America's vastness and stunning variety. American Honda has steadfastly served as the base for Honda's North American expansion, adhering to the idea that "profits kindly given to us by local customers must be returned to the community."

In 1990, the new American Honda headquarters building 100 in Torrance opened. The same campus is home to eleven distinct structures.

Honda has a well-deserved reputation for producing well-built, well-engineered vehicles, and this is true across the board. Most Hondas are both fuel-efficient and spacious, and they are both pleasurable to drive and dependable. Honda's bread and butter is the mid-size Accord family car, a long-time Best Award winner. Honda, too, understands how to have fun, with models like the exhilarating and fast Civic Si and the hot-hatch Civic Type R. Its most popular product is the practical CR-V, a small SUV. Honda also has unusual vehicles like the adaptable Ridgeline pickup and family-friendly people carriers like the Odyssey minivan and the Pilot SUV.

Popular Models

Honda Accord

Starting at $27,295

The revamped Honda Accord builds on the best features of its predecessor. It's fuel-efficient, fun to drive, capacious, and well-appointed, but its appeal has dimmed in comparison to the swankier Accord Hybrid, partly by design.

Honda Civic

Starting at $23,750

The Honda Civic is an excellent vehicle. The Civic, which is available in sedan and hatchback body forms, has an upmarket and airy interior with comfortable seats, an easy-to-use infotainment system, and plenty of luggage capacity. The Civic's abundance of standard safety features, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, are the cherry on top.

Honda CR-V

Starting at $28,410

The updated Honda CR-V distinguishes itself with a big and stylish cabin, comfortable seating in both rows, an intuitive infotainment system, a massive luggage area, and a comprehensive list of standard equipment. The fuel efficiency is outstanding, and the driving performance is decent, if not exhilarating.

Honda HR-V

Starting at $23,800

The new Honda HR-V has a first-rate interior, precise handling, a comfortable ride, and a slew of standard equipment. However, the HR-V's slow acceleration precludes it from sprinting to the head of the subcompact SUV group. It's quick and fun to drive on curving roads, and it still manages to provide a comfortable ride over rugged and uneven terrain, which is unusual for compact SUVs.

Honda Ridgeline

Starting at $38,800

The Honda Ridgeline gives up some off-road capabilities to its tiny pickup truck competitors, but it makes up for it with poised on-road performance, a smooth ride, and SUV-like interior comfort.
