As adults, we tend to think that our relationship with grades ends the minute we finish our final day in the classroom. No more worrying about getting a C on that paper, or a D on that test. We’re grown-ups now, which should mean that grades don’t matter anymore--except they do, especially when we’re looking at buying a new car.
Edmunds, for those that aren’t familiar with the popular online car-review site, looks at over 200 new models a year and writes in-depth analyses spelling out the finer points of each. At the top of each review, however, is a grade, and of course “A” is still the mark automakers strive for.
The good news is that we here at Pacific Honda stock plenty of Edmunds A-Rated cars, one of which is the 2014 Honda Civic, but the Civic recently earned extra recognition for being A-Rated and affordable.
Edmunds put together a list of five A-Rated vehicles that start under $20,000, and of course the Civic was among them. Lauded for its high fuel-efficiency numbers, plentiful standard technology, slick looks and high safety scores, the Civic is one of our best-sellers every year. It doesn’t take a grade for them to know it’s a good car, but high marks certainly have gone a long way toward justifying what most of us already inherently knew about it.
Reviewer grades alone aren’t enough to go off of when making a new vehicle purchase, but they can serve as one straw in a giant bale of information one considers in the process. This particular straw is a pretty good one.
