Reviews SummaryYou’ve probably heard the average American can no longer afford a new car. That’s not true. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median household income in the United States is nearly $75,000, putting a new 2023 Volkswagen Jetta within the reach of many people. Granted, big SUVs, giant pickup trucks, muscular performance cars, envy-inspiring luxury vehicles, or high-tech electric cars may not fit most budgets. But when you need a new set of wheels, the appealing 2023 Jetta is remarkably affordable and versatile. | |
Reviews SummaryIt’s true the 2023 Honda Accord doesn’t have all-wheel drive, a third-row seat, a big cargo area you can pack to the roof, or styling that suggests you live an adventurous lifestyle. If you want those things, spend thousands of dollars more for the Honda Pilot, which is less dynamic to drive and more expensive to own and operate. But, if you don’t need (or want) those things, consider the 11th generation 2023 Accord, which remains an excellent, if comparatively expensive, example of the traditional four-door family car. | |
