Graduation is a huge turning point in anyone’s life, and it’s essential to have things in life that we can depend on. Honda has spent decades manufacturing some of the most reliable vehicles on the road. Our 2022 models include six of the IIHS Top Safety Picks* and some of the most fuel-efficient cars on the market. Young drivers can choose from convenient sedans like the popular Honda Civic or something with enough room for outdoor activities and friends like the Honda CR-V. We also have some Honda hybrid cars like the Honda Insight, Honda Accord Hybrid, and Honda CR-V Hybrid which are excellent options for Detroit area drivers.

No matter what Honda you’ve had your eyes on for however long, your recent bachelor’s or associate’s degree can help you receive $500 toward Cap Cost Reduction or Down Payment Assistance**. That’s an entire monthly payment and some that new drivers don’t have to worry about.

Qualifying Is Easy at Your Local Honda Dealer in Detroit


Graduating is the hard part. When drivers finance or lease with Honda Financial Services, they can qualify with a few simple steps: bring in some proof of employment or a commitment from a company that intends to hire them in the future, evidence that they have graduated in the past two years, or will graduate in the next six months, necessary credit and required documents, good credit standing. Unfortunately, this offer can not be combined with the Zero Due at Signing Lease Program, and only one $500 bonus can be applied to a vehicle.
