An all too common name in the automotive industry is the Honda brand. The Japanese conglomerate, founded in September of 1948, has become a world-renowned and respected motor company. The company has many records to its name, one of which is being the first Japanese car manufacturer to own and release a dedicated luxury car brand in Acura.
The company currently has three other divisions; Honda Aircraft Company, Honda Motorcycles, and Honda Automobiles. The Acura and Honda Automobile divisions are responsible for some of the greatest Japanese cars the world has seen from this manufacturer. However, there are a few offerings from Honda that have not been so great.
10 Honda 2017 Civic Si
The 2017 Honda Civic Si was indeed something special at the time of its release and continues to be one of the all-time greats, even today. Honda brought in some excitement with this car by introducing a new engine. The new 1.5liter turbocharged engine maintained a 205 horsepower output as the old one. Still, it provided more torque, about 192 pound-feet in total.
This Civic Si features a fresh, sporty look and an engaging sports mode, which increases the throttle and firms the chassis for better handling. Honda didn’t forsake practicality, by offering this car in coupe and sedan options, starting at $24,000.
9 2020 Honda Accord
The 2020 Honda Accord happens to be one of the top-rated sedans for 2020. Yet, it is not so different from the 2018 version, the first release of the tenth generation accords. However, Honda stuns again with practicality for 2020, offering a variation of two engines. The base 1.5liter turbocharged i4 engine and the 2.0liter turbocharged i4 engine. The base engine produces about 192 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque. In comparison, the upgraded engine gives 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
A 10-speed automatic transmission comes as standard with the 2.0liter engine, but there is a six-speed automatic transmission for both engines. This car provides seating for up to five adults and has a host of exciting tech features, although higher trim levels have more tech features. This accord has a $25,000 starting price.
8 2005 Honda S2000
The S2000 has held its worth ever since production ceased over a decade ago. In some cases, the Honda S2000 sells at a higher price because it is becoming rarer as the years pass. The car has a 4-cylinder VTEC 2.2liter engine that produces 247 horsepower and can rev up to 9000 RPM. The car has incredible handling due to its fifty to fifty weight ratio. It operates a six-speed manual transmission.
The 2005 model of this car is the most appreciated by Honda lovers across the world. This rear-wheel-drive roadster has a seating capacity of two and truly embodies what sports cars used to look like in the early 2000s.
7 1968 Honda S800 Coupe
This car is considered a classic of sorts by some, introduced in 1965 at the Tokyo motor show. It succeeded the S600 in the S-series by Honda. Even then, practicality was still a thing for Honda, providing their customers with a Coupe or Roadster version. In an age when supercars had not been born, and there weren’t many cars with mind-blowing power output, the S800 was one of the best.
The 1968 model offers 69 horsepower and 48 pound-feet of torque. The car has a four-speed manual transmission and does 0-60 mph in about 12 seconds. The car is gradually becoming one of the rare ones to get because it has been decades since it was last in production.
6 2019 Honda Civic Type R FK8
This car is a Civic performance version that features a more powerful engine, a redesigned body, and upgraded brakes. The 2019 design is based on the civic hatchback.
The engine is a 2.0liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces about 320 horsepower and revs up to 6,500 RPM. It has a six-speed manual transmission, and its top speed reaches up to 169 mph. This 2019 Honda Civic also completes a quarter-mile in 13.5 seconds. Its fuel economy is between 24 to 36.2 MPG depending on driving locations.
5 2020 Honda NSX
The 2020 Honda NSX is one of the greatest and modern cars to come forth from any Honda car factory, and it is truly a supercar in its own right. The car was released through Honda’s dedicated luxury car brand Acura. It goes by the name Acura NSX in some parts of the world.
The engine is a 3.5liter twin-turbocharged DOHC V6 engine that produces about 573 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque. The car operates a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission and is a pleasure to drive.
4 2020 Honda Clarity
The 2020 Honda Clarity car is a release that shows how far along the motor company is in terms of fuel technology. There are three variants: the hydrogen-powered fuel-cell car, the electric vehicle, and the plug-in hybrid.
The plug-in hybrid is the variant that most drivers opt for because of better fuel economy. However, it has much competition in the Toyota Prius Prime. The car has some necessary driver technology. With a starting price just under $35,000, it certainly qualifies as one of the best daily drivers currently on the market.
3 2002 Honda Integra Type R
The Honda Integra Type R is such a fantastic performance edition car ever to have come from the Honda family. The 2002 model was quite excellent. It was well-received by car enthusiasts and lovers of Honda across the world and is so even today. The car was popular enough to feature in the Forza Motorsport racing game and subsequent releases except Forza Horizon 2.
This model has a three-door hatchback design with a four-cylinder engine that produces about 217 horsepower and 152 pound-feet of torque. The car operates a six-speed manual transmission and does 0 to 60 mph in 6 seconds. The Mugen front upgrade of the car makes for an excellent sporty look.
2 2020 Honda CR-V
Honda released this SUV in the latter part of 2019. The CR-V provides excellent fuel economy and a spacious cabin with a decent interior to a lot of people, all in one car. The car can easily double as a daily driver and a small family vehicle. It is such practicality and comfort that makes the CR-V one of the better releases from Honda for 2020.
The car is a front-wheel-drive with a 1.5liter inter-cooled turbo engine. This engine produces about 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque. The fuel economy is between 28 to about 34 miles per gallon, and the car operates a CVT transmission. It does 0-60 mph in 7.6 seconds and has a top speed of about 130 mph.
1 Sucked: 2015 Honda Fit
What Honda tried to do with the Honda fit was to provide a budget-friendly car with enough cabin space, tech support, and reliability to serve as a daily driver. In many ways, Honda achieved this, but it came at some cost.
The design of this car doesn’t fall into the top category, as is usually the case with Honda cars. Also, the suspension isn’t great. Drivers and passengers are reasonably impacted when the car gets into huge bumps, especially with the 2015 model. This is coupled with the fact that many owners have complained about uncomfortable seats. External noise that finds its way into the cabin and can be discomforting. In the end, there is sufficient reason as to why the fit has been discontinued in America.
