KBB names Honda Civic top new 2017 buy
Last week, Kelly Blue Book announced the winners of its 2017 Best Buy Awards, which honor the top new model-year vehicles on sale through evaluation of vehicle’s transaction prices, 5-Year Cost to Own data, and retail sales information.
Of the more than 300 new-car models available for 2017, the new Honda Civic is recognized as KBB.com’s top vehicle and the first vehicle to be named overall best two years in a row.
“After carefully analyzing a wealth of data and conducting extensive vehicle testing and evaluation from the hundreds of models available for the 2017 model-year, we chose this elite group of 12 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award winners because they proved to be the top in their class this year,” said Jack Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for KBB.com. “Kelley Blue Book editors went to the unprecedented choice of honoring the Honda Civic as the Overall Best Buy for the second year in a row because of the Civic’s unsurpassed all-around value. It turns in very high marks in objective measures like resale value and cost to own, yet it also is a supremely satisfying car to drive and live with every day. We believe the 2017 Civic is an exceptional value and remains the Overall Best Buy for the second year running.”
