2014 Honda Accord Named Lowest Ownership Cost in its Class

RAYNHAM, Mass. - Feb. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- The 2014 Honda Accord (http://www.silkohonda.com/models/2014-honda-accord/)—a favorite among drivers at Silko Honda—has been receiving praise from drivers and critics all over the world. Recently the Honda Accord was given a new recognition from Kelley Blue Book: lowest ownership cost in its class.

Kelley Blue Book, the professionals best-known for determining the value of new and used cars, released their information of the cost to own different 2014 vehicles over the first five years. The 2014 Accord came out ahead with the lowest numbers in its class.

Kelley Blue Book looks at five different criteria—insurance and finance costs, value depreciation, fuel expenses, repair and maintenance, and state fees—and uses them to determine an overall cost-to-own for a vehicle over the first five years. These numbers help drivers who are not only looking for an affordable car purchase, but a model that will continue to be affordable.

And the latest Accord comes out ahead, which probably isn't a surprise for anyone who has been following auto news. The Accord has made a name for itself in the past couple of years for leaving the competition in the dust, that's in addition to its already well-established history as an affordable and efficient car.

2013 saw a new definition of “standard features” that catapulted the sedan well beyond competitors, nabbing awards left and right, and the 2014 model continues with that trend as other manufacturers try to climb back up the ladder.

Part of the appeal of the Accord is that drivers simply have a lot to choose from. The entry-level Accord LX is well-equipped and features an efficient 185 hp engine, but drivers seeking more have options to upgrade trim levels for more luxurious amenities or upgrade the powertrain to a 278hp V6.Included among those award-winning standard features are Bluetooth connectivity, Pandora internet radio, a rearview camera, and an eight-inch touchscreen interface.
