How the Honda Accord Gained Its Popularity

Through four decades, nine generations, and countless design changes, the Honda Accord has earned a reputation for being one of the most reliable cars on the road today. The Accord enjoyed a 15-year period as the best-selling Japanese car in the United States, and it’s appeared on the Car and Driver 10Best List a record 30 times. But how did the little 3-door hatchback introduced back in 1976 earn that reputation? It’s time to find out. The Honda Accord: Classic, Safe, and Stylish The Accord made its United States debut in 1976 — a time when the country was still reeling from an oil crisis. Originally released as a 3-door hatchback, the Accord was an instant hit. While not the only “economy” car on the market at the time, the Accord offered both an affordable price, a 68 HP engine, and an impressive suite of standard features: An AM/FM stereo Rear defroster Remote trunk release In addition to all of those features, the Accord had an even bigger selling point — it could achieve a remarkable 46 MPG. Three years later, Honda released the 4-door Accord sedan. By this point, over 100,000 Accords were on the road, the engine had been upgraded to 72 HP, and the car received an oil cooler and power steering as standard features. The 80s got off to a rocking start with the release of the Accord SE trim. Decked out with luxury features like leather seats, alloy wheels, and a stereo with a cassette player, demand grew so high that dealers had trouble keeping the cars in stock. The following year, the second generation of Accord was released. Not only was it redesigned inside and out, but it was also now manufactured in the U.S., at a plant in Marysville, Ohio, where Honda still produces cars today. This was also the first year the Accord became the best-selling Japanese nameplate in the U.S., a distinction it would continue to hold for 15 years. As the years went on, the Accord would continue to grow in both size and popularity. By the time the fifth generation debuted in 1994, the Accord was lauded for its superior safety, improved handling, and sporty styling. Last year, Honda Accord celebrated its 40th birthday, with over 12.7 million sold. It’s once again the top-selling car in the country, with no signs of slowing down. You can see the latest version of the Accord at Asheboro Honda, along with our complete Honda lineup.

The Future Is Clear With the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell

Since the early days of the company, Honda has maintained a reputation for building automobiles that are well-built and fuel efficient. Cars like the Insight and Civic Hybrid were forerunners in the lucrative alternative fuel market. In fact, when the EPA produced their list of the 10 most fuel efficient cars from 1984-2010, half of them were Honda vehicles. Honda has now taken the next step by introducing their first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. The new 2017 Honda Clarity is the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to be as fun to drive as it is fuel efficient. Currently only available for sale in California, the Clarity has a 366-mile range per tank, converting hydrogen into electricity and giving the car instant acceleration with zero emissions. The engine components fit under the hood like a standard vehicle, leaving the rest of the real estate for human space instead of filling it with batteries and hydrogen tanks. Honda Clarity Brings the Future of Fuel Efficiency So, what exactly is a fuel cell? A fuel cell is a device that generates energy by creating a chemical reaction. A fuel, in this case hydrogen, becomes ionized and creates an electrical charge, which sends power to the car. The only thing left over from the reaction is H2O, otherwise known as water. This means the fuel cell creates no emissions whatsoever. This video, created by the U.S. Department of Energy, explains how a fuel cell works further: Well, how does the Clarity drive? The Honda Clarity Fuel Cell features excellent performance and handling, powered by an electric motor with 221 pound-feet of torque. The 18-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels are equipped with exclusive low-rolling resistance sport performance tires. Even in “Normal” mode, the electric motor generates rapid acceleration the moment you press the accelerator. The Honda Clarity scores over its competitors with the exclusive Sport mode, which enhances the acceleration and handling. Where do you get hydrogen to fill the tank? As hydrogen fuel cell technology becomes more mainstream, refueling stations will pop up all over the country. Right now, they only exist in California -- the only place you can get a Clarity. While they may not run on hydrogen fuel cells, there are a number of fuel efficient vehicles available at Asheboro Honda. The Accord Hybrid gets 49 MPG in the city, and the gas-powered Civic gets 39 MPG on the highway. Come on in and take a test drive today.

Redesigned 2018 Honda Odyssey Keeps Everyone in the Family Happy

The all-new 2018 Honda Odyssey was created to offer something special for everyone. This van was designed around the needs of the family, so each person – from the driver to the third-row passenger – is comfortable and happy. Because function, flexibility, and comfort was in the forefront of the designers’ minds, the 2018 Odyssey will be the best van on the road. 2018 Honda Odyssey: Designed For the Entire Family Enjoy Innovative Design The redesign of the 2018 model takes the Odyssey to a new level of sophistication. The designers weren’t concerned with only aesthetic changes, but wanted to truly create a vehicle that works for the modern family. One of the most exciting new features is the Magic Slide 2nd-Row seats, which allow for easier access to the third row. Not only will seats be able to slide front to back, but they’ll also move side to side. The 2018 Odyssey will also be the quickest, most fuel efficient, best handling minivan on the road. It includes a brand new direct injection V6 engine and the first-ever Honda 10-speed transmission. This, combined with a more rigid body and a sophisticated chassis design, will make for a better overall driving experience. Connect with Family Members The 2018 Honda Odyssey designers found that minivan drivers and third-row passengers have difficulty communicating. They prioritized cabin quietness and introduced a host of noise-reducing features, so the Honda Odyssey now has the quietest cabin in its class. Honda also included Honda CabinWatch and CabinTalk to make it easier than ever to see and communicate with passengers in the rear seats. Parents are able to talk to their kids in the back seat either over a PA system or through headphones, and are able to get a bird’s eye view of the second and third rows on their 8-inch touchscreen in the command center. As you can see, the 2018 Odyssey is the most connected, most comfortable, and most flexible Odyssey yet.

Find Out if You’re a Honda Civic Sedan or Hatchback Devotee

You probably know the most obvious difference between a hatchback and a sedan: one has hatchback style storage while the other has a standard trunk. However, the new Honda Civic Hatchback and the new Honda Civic Sedan have more differences than just their cargo space. Below, we help guide you through what makes the sedan and hatchback unique models -- as well as which best fits your needs. Honda Civic Hatchback vs. Sedan: What You Need to Know Exterior The most noticeable stylistic difference between the Civic Hatchback and the Civic Sedan is at the rear of the car. The hatchback has a back window that is connected to the hatchback cargo area, while the sedan has a sharply sloped roof line that ends at the trunk-lid opening. This difference results in about four extra inches of length over the sedan. Other styling differences include: Hatchback Additional central exhaust Enlarged spoiler Glossy black grille, black wheels Projector-Beam Halogen Headlights Fin-Type Roof-Mounted Antenna Sedan Chrome grille, chrome wheels Projector-Beam Halogen Headlights or LED Headlights Integrated Rear-Window Antenna Interior Cargo space is the biggest difference between these two cars. The Civic Sedan offers 15.1 cubic feet of storage space, having one of the largest trunks of any other compact car on the market. With the available 60/40-split folding rear seat, you can fit even more of your stuff inside The Civic Hatchback, although not as long as the Sedan, is taller. With class-leading cargo space of 25.7 cubic feet (46.2 cubic feet with the seats down), the Hatchback is a great choice if you have a lot you need to take with you. Other than cargo space, the interior of the Civic Sedan and the Civic Hatchback are hardly different from one another. Both cars come with a functional, comfortable cabin and premium seats. Performance The Civic Sedan comes standard with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine while the Civic Hatchback comes with the 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Both engines provide impressive MPG, with the Sedan coming out on top if you opt for a trim upgrade: Civic Sedan: 28-32 MPG City, 32-36 MPG Highway Civic Hatchback: 30-31 MPG City, 32-34 MPG Highway The hatchback has a different suspension tuning and steering system than the sedan, which results in a more athletic feel to your drive. Safety and Technology The Civic Sedan and Civic Hatchback were awarded perfect 5-star ratings in every government crash-test category. This ensures peace of mind in either model, although it doesn’t make your decision any easier. The 2017 Honda Civic has also been deemed the Overall Best Buy Award Winner by Kelley Blue Book, ensuring that no matter the body type, you’ll be getting a quality car. The same safety and infotainment features appear in both body types. Standard technology includes a 5” color screen, a USB port, a rearview camera, and Bluetooth® phone and audio. Which Honda Civic is Right For You? Now that you know more about the 2017 Honda Civic Sedan and 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback, it’s clear that either model comes with plenty of benefits and signature Honda quality and style. If you like a larger vehicle with a standard trunk and slightly better fuel efficiency, perhaps opt for the Sedan. If you crave an edge-of-your-seat ride, go with the sportier Hatchback. This is a big choice, and getting in touch with the experts at Asheboro Honda can help. Whether it’s scheduling a test drive with one of Honda Civics for sale in our inventory or probing the minds of our knowledgeable staff, we are here to help you end up with the Civic that’s perfect for you.

Comparing Honda SUVs to Find Your Ideal Model

Searching for your next SUV is not a challenge when looking at the Honda lineup. The automaker offers three different models of varying sizes, each appealing to a different type of buyer. Whether you are interested in new or used Honda SUVs, the HR-V, CR-V, and Pilot all offer great options. Which Honda SUV Should You Buy? Cargo Area and Seating HR-V The Honda HR-V is the smallest of the three models and the newest to the lineup. This subcompact feels downright spacious thanks to its innovative Magic Seat® that splits and folds in various configurations, including upward. When the rear seats are upright, the HR-V gives you 25 cubic feet of space, or you can fold them down and get 58.8 cubic feet. CR-V People who only need seating for five people but want somewhat more space than what the HR-V offers will appreciate the Honda CR-V for driving around Asheboro, NC. This model has 39.2 cubic feet of space with all seats occupied, which is ideal for your groceries and more, or 75.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. Pilot For anyone who needs even more space for cargo — more than enough to accommodate certain types of furniture — or who wants an extra row of seats, the Honda Pilot is the best choice. With three rows of seats, this family mover can easily fit eight people. When all three rows are upright, there is 18.5 cubic feet of space, or 55.9 cubic feet behind the second row — much more than the HR-V and CR-V provide behind their rear seats. Folding down both rear rows in the Pilot gives you a whopping 109 cubic feet, the most space of any Honda SUV. Engines and Efficiency While some people value the cargo space of their Honda SUV the most, others are looking for the most power or efficiency. As expected, the models in order of efficiency are the HR-V, CR-V, and Pilot. As for power, the reverse is true, with the Pilot being the most powerful and the HR-V the least. HR-V The HR-V offers just one engine: a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder with 141 horsepower. However, it can get up to 31 MPG combined, narrowly beating the CR-V for efficiency. CR-V For the CR-V model, you have the choice of a 184-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder or a 190-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The Honda CR-V actually has one of the best fuel economies in its class, with the new turbocharged engine delivering 30 MPG combined, while the familiar base engine gets 28 MPG combined. Pilot The Pilot is not only the largest SUV in the lineup but the most powerful of the bunch as well, with a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine. As for fuel efficiency, you can expect up to 23 MPG combined.

The Reliability of Honda Cars: A Strong Choice When Buying New or Used

Whether you’re in the market for a new or used vehicle, Honda delivers a strong reputation for reliability, safety, and style. The decision to buy a new car shouldn’t be taken lightly. Whether you’re looking for a vehicle for just yourself or something that will comfortably accommodate a family, you want a vehicle that is reliable. That’s where Honda comes into play. Honda Cars Carry a Tradition of Reliability While many consumers prefer American-made vehicles, Honda – a Japanese company – should not be overlooked when considering a new car purchase. According to J.D. Power ratings, Honda currently carries a rating of 4 out of 5 for dependability and offers a number of models that received awards for their reliability and safety. Recent Awards for Honda A list containing some of these accolades can be seen below. 2017: The Accord Coupe, Civic Sedan, and Civic Coupe were awarded the IIHS Top Safety Pick Three models – the Ridgeline, Pilot and Accord Sedan – were awarded the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Four of Honda’s vehicles – the Accord Hybrid, Fit, HR-V and Ridgeline – were awarded KBB Best Resale Value honors The Accord Sedan and Accord Coupe were names two of of Car and Driver’s 10Best 2016: Six Honda models – the Accord Sedan and Coupe, Civic Sedan and Coupe, Pilot, and CR-V – were awarded the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Honda’s HR-V was awarded the Green SUV of the Year by Green Car Journal Four models – the CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, and HR-V – were named as the Best Cars for Families in their respective classes by U.S. News Seven of Honda’s vehicles – the CR-V, Accord Sedan and Coupe, Fit, Odyssey, HR-V and Pilot – were all awarded NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings These awards not only offer the assurance that Honda is a reliable brand, but that they also care about the environment, as well as the safety of you and your family.

However, there’s one thing that you shouldn’t have to worry about when buying a Honda, and that is reliability. Style is one of the biggest factors for many people looking to buy a new car, but in some cases, it can be overlooked if the vehicle is deemed a safe choice. One example, according to TrueDelta.com, is the 2012 Honda Civic: “ The 2012 Honda Civic wasn't pretty. It wasn't fun to drive. It didn't ride well. It outsold all other compact sedans last year anyway. Why? Because it's a safe choice. It was ‘good enough,’ and Civics have almost always been highly reliable.” That same 2012 model can still be found on the road today. While there may be brands that depreciate quickly, Honda isn’t one of them. In 2013, J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study found that “of the percentage of Honda models sold in that period, 75 percent were still on the road.” New Honda models may be stylish and flashy, but older models have proven to be just as dependable.
