MotorWeek Releases Road Test Review For 2016 Honda Civic Coupe

For a long time now, the argument against driving a truck versus a sedan or even a compact SUV, was fuel economy. Honda listened to all the usual complaints like, gas prices are too high, the emissions need to be lower and the MPG needs to be higher, and designed the 2017 Honda Ridgeline. The new pickup brings that brand back into the truck segment in a big way by boosting the fuel economy by 5 MPG. Compared to competitors, the 2017 Ridgeline fares well with gettings 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 highway. With its current rating, it comes close to truck with a four-cylinder and rear-drive. If you’d like to get your hands on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline, keep an eye right here on the DELLA Honda in Plattsburgh blog. We’ll let you know when we have more information on the model and when it’s available on our lot. "2017 Honda Ridgeline Boosts Fuel Economy by 5 Mpg." Autoblog. N.p., 29 Apr. 2016.

Honda is releasing a new video series called #HondaSerialOne, which will follow Honda mechanic, Tim Mings while he restores the very first Honda automobile in the United State, a 1967 Honda N600. Mings, who grew up restoring Honda vehicles with his father, is the only full-time Honda N600 mechanic in the world, having restored over 1,000 of them in his career. There were only 50 1967 Honda N600 vehicles built, and only three have survived. Mings purchased one immediately when he came across it, and owned it for several years before discovering it was Serial 1000001, the first Honda automobile in the U.S. After Tim restores this vehicle, it will be sent to the Honda Museum where Honda fans all over the world can see it and enjoy it. Keep up with Tim on the Honda video series and watch the first installment below! Honda. "Restoring #HondaSerialOne, the First Honda Automobile in the U.S." YouTube. YouTube, 16 Mar. 2016.

The Honda brand has certainly withstood the test of time and remained relevant throughout the last 44 years. They took that time to perfect the small, affordable car and made sporty versions and hybrid versions for more personalization. A perfect example of this is the Honda Civic. The latest generation of the Civic would be considered the “tech” version. This model is so packed with cool features, reporter Nick Jaynes of Mashable didn’t know what to try out first! His first impression was obviously about the exterior of the vehicle. The unit that Jaynes drove around was the eye-catching Energy Green Pearl color, was “chromed-out”, and featured a cool LED tail light bar. Once he got inside, he was equally impressed. The Honda Sensing suite of safety features caught his attention first. The Civic he was driving included Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation Braking. Jaynes suggested these advanced safety features have their names changed to semi-autonomous features. He also points out that Honda’s inclusion of these features on such an affordable sedan is a step in the right direction for the auto industry. Why make these life-saving features available only to people who can afford a car that’s over $50,000? Jaynes also remarked on the 7” touchscreen infotainment system, navigation system, and its super crisp handling on the road. To experience all these features and more come into DELLA Honda in Plattsburgh today and we’ll be happy to put you in the driver’s seat! Jaynes, Nick.
