Given the quality we’ve seen in the 2013 lineup, Honda is in for a big year. Several 2013 models have already been recognized this month by different automotive sites, and now Car and Driver has included two 2013 Honda vehicles in its annual, highly respected, “10 Best” list.

For one week in September, C&D’s editors drove over 15k miles testing 2013 models (under $80k) to create the “10 Best” list. And the Honda models that made the cute are…
2013 Honda Accord – The Accord is appearing for the 27th time in the 31 year history of the list. This easily makes the Accord the most decorated member of the list ever. Recognized by C&D editors for its “playful and gracious spirit,” they highlighted how the new Accord “fully delivers on Honda’s “man-maximum, machine-minimum” philosophy.”

2013 Honda Fit – Also making a repeat appearance, the Fit has been featured for the 7th time in its 7-yearUS history. Basically, the Fit has made the list every year it’s been on sale in theUS. “There’s more intelligence packed into the Fit than in many cars twice its size,” comment C&D’s editors, adding that the “Fit’s every component huns the song of high-quality machinery.” They also recognized it for being “hugely practical and affordable.”
“The Accord and Fit both embody Honda’s core values of ingenious packaging, great visibility, fun driving dynamics and fuel efficiency,” said American Honda VP of Marketing Michael Accavitti.
This Austin Texas Honda dealer is excited to see the two cars make the list again (we never doubted them anyways). The quality with which Honda vehicles are made is reflected when the company receives all of these recognitions.
