8. Why are Hondas so expensive?
   

   

   Essentially, they are not. You can get a Honda in whatever budget you have got. The only thing that matters is quality. The quality of products and spares used in the Accord will obviously be better than what they have used in the Amaze which results in higher prices. If you are looking for a used car, you can easily find a City or Civic in affordable ranges.

   This is the manufacturing facility of the Japanese automaker situated in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. This was setup in 1997. They have got one more such facility at Tapukara, District. Alwar, Rajasthan. It is essentially a Japanese brand but manufactures all the cars across its lineup locally.

    One of the top-selling vehicles in the Indian used car market.
