Why a Used Honda Holds Its Value
One of the real tests of a car brand is how well it holds its value over the years. Any car that maintains a high resale value is one that car buyers are putting a high premium on. After a vehicle has some significant miles on the odometer, if it continues to command a high price, you know that's a car that's well worth considering. It's no secret that Honda has been when one of the strongest brands in the country when it comes to retaining its value over the years. Here are some of the reasons that Honda maintains a high resale price and why you should consider getting a new or used Honda at Navarre Honda in Lake Charles, LA.
rnrn
Honda’s corporate integrity is a cornerstone of its value proposition
rnrn
Honda has been making reliable, high-quality vehicles for 75 years and it's earned a reputation for being one of the most trusted brands in the country. One of the reasons Honda cars, trucks and SUVs retain their value is because Honda packs so much into every model. Honda uses high quality materials that last a long time and the company stays committed to a proven formula of creating comfortable, attractive vehicles that wear well and look good over the years.
rnrn
Quality: The most fundamental strength that Honda is known for
rnrn
Honda devotes enormous attention to every detail in its engineering and design. Honda leadership has established a tradition of listening to customers and responding to their needs when it’s developing a new model. Every automotive brand claims to provide a high level of quality but the market has clearly singled out Honda as a company that comes through in the quality department. That's evident in Honda's consistently high resale value in communities like Sulphur and Orange TX.
rnrn
Reliability: Another quality people are willing to pay more for
rnrn
According to RepairPal, a digital automotive resource, Honda earns a reliability rating of 4.0 out of 5.0 and that ranks it #1 among all car brands studied. That's based on average annual repair costs that looked at a total of 345 different models. In addition, RepairPal noted that Honda has fewer visits to the repair shop every year and only a 10% probability that a repair will be classified as severe. That’s why buyers have found Honda reliability in real life and why the brand has such positive word-of-mouth.
rnrn
Fuel economy and variety: Two more valuable Honda advantages
rnrn
Over the years, as some car makers produced vehicles without much regard to fuel efficiency, Honda has been consistently committed to building cars, trucks and SUV's that help keep your fuel costs down as you drive around Moss Bluff or Jennings LA. In addition, Honda has created a broad lineup of vehicles for just about every kind of buyer. Families can find a lot to like in the Honda lineup with spacious, comfortable SUVs and minivans. Other buyers appreciate the virtues of Honda’s stylish sedans and hard working pickups.
rnrn
Honda has made safety a top priority
rnrn
The designers and engineers at Honda show their dedication to protecting you and your family by developing an extensive array of advanced safety technology. Honda has created its own unique safety features like BSI, the Blind Spot Information system that can alert you to other vehicles approaching you from the side in places you can't easily see. It's part of the exclusive Honda Sensing® technology that's available in models like the new Honda CR-V, Civic and Accord.
rnrn
Honda can you money in maintenance and ownership costs
rnrn
When Honda vehicles are well-maintained according to factory recommendations, they will last longer and perform better. That approach to regular maintenance helps keep repair costs to a minimum and makes Honda models less expensive to own.

Should You Get a Honda HR-V or a Honda CR-V?
Honda SUVs have become popular in our area, and at Navarre Honda, many customers have chosen the HR-V or the CR-V. These two-row SUVs have many amenities and will help you stay safe on Lake Charles, LA roads. They also have excellent value. Which one might be better for you? This overview will highlight important differences, and armed with this information, you can make the right decision.
rnrn
Affordability
rnrn
Price plays a big role when looking for a new vehicle. Fortunately, these Honda SUVs have very reasonable price tags, especially given all they offer. However, the HR-V has the advantage in this area. All three HR-V trims are priced lower than the entry-level trim of the CR-V, and the most advanced CR-V trim costs almost $12,000 more than the most well-equipped HR-V. If budget is your most important factor, you'll certainly notice this distinction.
rnrn
Performance
rnrn
The CR-V may cost more than the HR-V but offers more, especially in performance. Its standard powertrain makes 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque, and its hybrid system can generate 204 horsepower. The HR-V's 2.0-liter engine makes 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. This is still a nice amount of power, and it should be more than sufficient if you don't plan on tackling extremely tough challenges in your new SUV. The great news is that both SUVs can be set up with all-wheel drive. This can give you better traction when the roads get a bit slick from Moss Bluff, LA to Jennings, LA.
rnrn
Efficiency
rnrn
These two Hondas do well regarding efficiency, too, so you can consider them if you'd like to get a new SUV with good fuel economy. The HR-V can earn as much as 32 miles per gallon on the highway and 26 miles per gallon in the city. The CR-V beats those marks with an estimated fuel economy of 34 miles per gallon on the highway and 28 miles per gallon in the city. You can save even more gas by getting a hybrid CR-V. In this case, your estimated fuel economy would be 36/43 (highway/city) miles per gallon.
rnrn
Size
rnrn
Some people prefer the HR-V because of its compact frame. With an overall length of 179.8 inches, it's quite easy to park and maneuver when dealing with small parking spots and busy city streets. Even though it's on the smaller side of the spectrum, it treats your passengers to a generous amount of legroom. Its second row provides almost 38 inches of legroom. Additionally, the HR-V can accommodate a variety of cargo. When the rear seats are up, cargo volume measures 24.4 cubic feet. When you lower those seats, you'll increase cargo capacity to 55.1 cubic feet.
rnrn
The CR-V is five inches longer than the HR-V and slightly wider and taller. This translates into more cabin space, which could make this model more appealing to some customers. If you have taller people riding with you, you might prefer the CR-V because it has 41 inches of second-row legroom. Its cargo hold seems expansive, with a volume of 39.3 cubic feet, and when the rear seatback has been folded down, the cargo volume measures 76.5 cubic feet.
rnrn
Similar Features
rnrn
In other ways, the Honda CR-V and Honda HR-V seem pretty similar. They will help you stay safe using their driver-assist systems, and they both offer large touchscreens with smartphone compatibility and available navigation.

Financing vs. Leasing Your Next Honda Insight
?
rnThe Honda Insight is a great car for anyone looking to save money on gas while still getting good performance and features. If you're interested in getting behind the wheel of your very own Insight, there are two main ways to make your purchase near Sulphur, LA, and Orange, TX: through financing or leasing.
rnrn
Financing a Honda Insight
rnrn
When you finance a car, you are taking out a loan to pay for the vehicle in full. You will be responsible for making monthly payments to your lender, and once the loan is paid off, the car will be yours to keep. The biggest benefit of financing an Insight is that you will own the car outright. You also won't have to worry about mileage restrictions as you would with a lease. However, you will likely have to make a larger down payment than you would if you were leasing the car. Additionally, you will be responsible for all repairs and maintenance on the vehicle as well as any insurance costs.
rnrn
Leasing a Honda Insight
rnrn
When you lease a car, you are essentially renting it from the dealership for a set period of time, usually two to four years. You will make regular payments throughout the duration of your lease. One of the biggest benefits of leasing an Insight is that you won't have to worry about all of the repairs or maintenance, as these will often be covered by your dealership. Additionally, your monthly payments are likely to be lower than they would be if you were financing the car. However, you will have to adhere to strict mileage restrictions, as going over the allotted amount will result in fees. Additionally, you won't own the car outright at the end of your lease.
rnrn
So, which is better – financing or leasing your Insight? The answer depends on your individual needs and preferences. Our team at Billy Navarre Honda in Lake Charles, LA, is here to help you make the best decision for what you are looking for. Our dealership is conveniently located near Moss Bluff, LA, and Jennings, LA.

Go Green with a Honda
rnrn
Most manufacturers these days are making some version of a hybrid or electric model, and Honda is no exception. Here are several models Sulphur, LA, and Orange, TX drivers can find.
rnrn
Honda Insight
rnrn
While the Honda Insight looks like your typical small sedan, this model has an impressive estimated fuel economy of around 52 mpg. With a four-cylinder engine and electric motor under the hood, this model can generate 151 horsepower. And thanks to its affordable price and many features, it's a model that shouldn't be overlooked.
rnrn
rnAccord Hybrid
rnrn
Although the Accord Hybrid may look similar to its gas-powered cousin, this sedan offers a better fuel economy with an estimated 47 mpg. This model can also produce 212 horsepower thanks to its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and hybrid system. And unlike other hybrids, Moss Bluff residents will find the battery pack does not affect cargo space because it's placed underneath the rear seats.
rnrn
rnCR-V Hybrid
rnrn
Small SUVs are an ever-growing market. That's why it's even more impressive that the CR-V Hybrid stands out from the competition.
