Getting a used Honda is one of the most sensible ways to get a safe and reliable car. With a used car budget of $30,000, you can get a very modern, well-equipped Honda model that offers a nice discount compared to a new one. Here are seven of the best used Hondas you can find on Autotrader for less than $30,000 in 2020.
1. 2018-2019 Honda Accord
The current-generation Honda Accord that came out for the 2018 model year is a class-leading midsize sedan that is good at just about everything. It’s roomy, stylish and practical, plus it has a fun-to-drive character that few of its competitors can match. It’s the only car in its class with an available manual transmission, making it a great choice for the enthusiast who needs a practical sedan. With a $30,000 budget, you can even get a really nice hybrid model with luxurious amenities and outstanding fuel economy. Find a Honda Accord for sale
2. 2016-2019 Honda Civic
With $30,000, you can get pretty much any used Honda Civic you want. Whether it’s the fun Civic Si, the super-high-performance Type R hot hatch or just a really nice Touring model with all of the bells and whistles, there is no shortage of great Honda Civic models on Autotrader. Available as a coupe, sedan or hatchback, the Civic offers something for everyone. It has always been a top choice in compact cars, and its current generation that began for the 2016 model year is easily the best Civic yet. Find a Honda Civic for sale
3. 2018-2019 Honda Clarity
This one might be a bit hard to find depending on where you live, but a used Honda Clarity is a great choice in a practical alternative fuel car. The hydrogen fuel cell version is lease-only and the EV version has lousy range, but the plug-in hybrid version of the Clarity is a very compelling hybrid. Not only does it have a great all-electric range of up to 47 miles, but it has the dimensions of a midsize sedan, making it a roomy, practical family vehicle. Most cars in this segment are small compact hatchbacks, but the Clarity has a back seat and cargo area you can actually use. Find a Honda Clarity for sale
4. 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey
The Honda Odyssey is a consistent class leader in minivans, and the current generation is no different. It’s not just a great buy in used Hondas but in used minivans in general. Fully redesigned for 2018, the Odyssey continues its legacy as the ultimate family vehicle, with a spacious interior and family-friendly features like sliding doors, fold-flat 3rd-row seats, and options like a built-in vacuum, a backseat entertainment system and even an intercom for when your passengers need some discipline. It also doesn’t hurt that this is arguably the sharpest looking minivan ever. Find a Honda Odyssey for sale
5. 2019 Honda Passport
The Honda Passport just came out last year, and you can already find used examples under the $30,000 mark. This midsize 2-row SUV strikes a nice balance of everyday practicality and rugged character. It has a strong standard V6 engine, roomy seating for five with a spacious cargo area to boot and a look that’s a little edgier than the average Honda. Its rugged look is backed up by pretty strong off-roading capabilities when equipped with the optional all-wheel drive. We’re glad the Passport name is back after a long hiatus.

6. 2016-2019 Honda Pilot
For a practical minivan alternative in an SUV body, there are few better options than the Honda Pilot. The current-generation Pilot came out in 2016, and it does its duty as a family hauler with SUV versatility and available AWD: an option that’s not available in the mechanically similar Honda Odyssey minivan. The Pilot has three rows of seats with decent legroom in the third row and family-friendly options like an available rear-seat entertainment system. The ride is smooth and quiet, the engine is strong and efficient and it all adds up to a great family SUV. Find a Honda Pilot for sale
7. 2017-2019 Honda Ridgeline
We like the Honda Ridgeline a lot, but one of its only downsides is that it has the highest starting price in its segment by a pretty significant margin. A used model, however, brings down the price, and it’s not too hard to find one of these quirky pickups in the sub-$30,000 range. This truck is unique for having a unibody construction rather than the traditional body-on-frame build of every other truck, and it has standard front-wheel drive rather than rear-wheel drive. It drives like a smooth and comfortable crossover, and it has a spacious interior that could easily serve as a family vehicle. Plus, you get the convenience and versatility of a flat-floor truck bed with an in-bed trunk. Find a Honda Ridgeline for sale
