Honda cars are reliable, well built, dynamically virtuous (they accelerate, brake and handle well), have wonderful manual transmissions (best in the business IMO), are economical, ergonomic over achievers, use superior materials in the interior and are fun to drive.

Honda makes the best 4 cylinder engines in the business. They are smooth, powerful and love to rev.
