Brand-New 2021 KIA or 2 Year Old Certified Pre-Used Honda Accord?

[Anonymous]

My newly Freshman niece is being offered a car choice by her Father to start off college right.

He is offering her a brand new KIA sedan (cannot remember the model) or a Certified, Pre-Used Honda Accord from a very reliable, Honda dealership.

I say go for the KIA.
Our mechanic says the Honda Accord V-6.
Says it will last much longer and hold its value better.

Your opinions on this?

I agree with V6 Honda Accord. That’s a nice car for a college student.

New Kia.

This is a no-brainer.

Definitely the Honda over the KIA.

I would never buy another Kia. NEVER.

Not quite comparable, but some years ago, we traded in a 5 year old Subaru for an 8 year old (yes, 3 years older) Honda with approx similar mileage. The the quality of the Honda, fit/finish/paint quality was better than the Subaru.

Best of luck with your decision,

Honda for sure.

Kias are the cheapest brand of cars on the road today.

Honda of course. Why is this even a question

Your priors are about 20 years out of date. Today that dubious distinction belongs to either Mitsubishi or Nissan.
