First Off, Do You Need a Car for College?

Truthfully, a car is an all but necessary part of life for most people around Plymouth. They’re used for going to work, meeting appointments, and maintaining a social life – and not to mention the fact that cars and trucks alike operate the very infrastructure that makes those things possible. It can’t be understated, cars are integral to modern life. That applies to you too, our college enrolled friend! They’re an important resource to have at your disposal for a few reasons:

• You’ll have quicker transport to and from classes and obligations!
• Adventures off-campus become possible, including trips home!
• Your social life can flourish! (After studying, of course.)
• Helping friends in need of a ride is always good for karma!

These all having been said, if you’re considering bringing your current vehicle to college or find yourself wondering, “Can you bring your car to college?” The answer is clear – yes! As well you should!

So What’s the Best Used Car for a College Student?

What’s the best used car for a college student? Now there’s a question with the potential for hot debate – considering how competitive the automotive industry can be. Of course, our devotion to the Honda brand runs deep, so we’ll have some suggestions to throw in – but we also want to really focus on what makes these cars a great selection for a college student. Here are the top things we think Ann Arbor college bound students should keep in mind when deciding on a car:

• Keep it Compact: There should be plenty of parking wherever you end up living and going to school, just like any other town, but having a compact, easy to park, quick maneuvering vehicle is just a smart choice, especially since it goes hand in hand with our next tip…
• Fuel Efficiency Importance: Go for something fuel efficient! We don’t need to tell you that college life can be extremely budgeted, so driving a vehicle with minimal fuel cost just makes sense.
• Go With Used: Like we covered in the last tip, college life is often expensive. Going with a used vehicle, like our quality selection at Victory Honda of Plymouth, will help keep cost down.

Okay, So What Cars Exactly?

Alright, now that we’ve covered the core things to keep in mind when college-car-shopping, let’s talk about some specific models. Here it is, our favorite college student cars:

• Honda Accord – Available in a coupe or sedan, and sometimes in hybrid.
• Honda Civic – Stylish and fuel efficient – also some hybrid models.
• Honda Fit – Compact, fuel efficient, and unique!
