Massachusetts Ten Most Popular Cars…Do You Drive One?
In New England, we love our cars. It really is an individual choice which one we drive. Some like big trucks to drive through anything a winter storm in the Berkshires can throw at you. Others like to go fast and want something sporty. Some like big luxury cars that give you the feeling that you're driving your couch through Pittsfield.

Congratulations to the Honda Accord for the #1 spot of the Top 10 Most Popular Cars in Massachusetts based on a report by everquote.com. On a personal note; the Honda Accord is the car this blogger is currently driving and I love it. I am a big guy 6’ that eats plenty of pasta. It is very comfortable for a person my size with plenty of pickup and style. As I recently went over the elusive 200,000 milestones, I hope to put at least another 50,000 before I even think about purchasing another one.
