Today, we have just such another under-the-radar find that is a Honda model that is not exactly a sedan or an SUV, but somewhere in between that has been hard to classify and sometimes questioned as to whether it is a “Jack of all trades and master of none” mistake that Honda does not make anymore---we are talking about the Honda Accord Crosstour, which was recently reviewed on the Scotty Kilmer YouTube channel.

To find out why Scotty chose this unusual model as a “The best car that no knows about” find he recommends, here is the video that offers his useful take on why you should buy one if you ever get the chance.

Is The Crosstour for You?

Admittedly, the Crosstour is not for everyone, which is why it has remained a hidden find…until now. It’s not pretty. It has a hatchback, which many car owners do not like. And its rear window visibility is one of the worst you will find in a car.

However, the usefulness of the Crossover…today…is not in its aesthetics and features, but is in its reliability and usefulness as a decent used car find to help car shoppers get over this car shortage morass we are in with overly inflated used car prices.

That said, to help you decide whether the Crosstour is the used car for you, here is a past review of the Crosstour by Consumer Reports analysts who take you on a road test to discover what you can expect when driving one.
