Commuter-Friendly Honda Models

Honda HR-V

One of the newest additions to the Honda family, the Honda HR-V is a subcompact crossover that blends SUV qualities with a very car-like demeanor. Visibility is outstanding - a big asset in Houston traffic - and fuel economy is equally superb. Meanwhile, SUV characteristics such as a roomy cabin and an innovative cargo area add a level of versatility that many coupes and sedans lack.

All five Honda HR-V trims equip a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), allowing for seamless in-traffic shifts. And as a nice bonus, all-wheel drive (AWD) is available on all models.

Honda Civic

If the Honda HR-V represents the "next wave" of Honda automobiles, the Honda Civic is in the "living legend" category, proving over decades to be one of the world's most popular commuter cars. Gas mileage is exceptional, comfort and handling are on-point, and cabin comfort is A+.

Like many Honda vehicles, the Honda Civic offers a CVT gearbox. This compact sedan also has an ace up its sleeve: an optional turbocharged engine that's invaluable when it's time to merge, pass, or enjoy a long, straight stretch of highway.

Honda Fit

The name says it all - the Honda Fit is a subcompact car that "fits" anywhere, whether it's a downtown parking spot, a one-car city garage, or in traffic on a crowded street. Name aside, what you might be surprised by is just how roomy this vehicle is. This is especially apparent in its configurable rear seats, which adjust to reveal a huge cargo hold.

The Honda Fit model's powertrain includes an available CVT transmission which makes this car's quick acceleration feel seamless - and for traditionalists, a six-speed manual gearbox is also available. Both transmissions deliver outstanding gas mileage, especially in the city.
