Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial - "Matthew's Day Off" Extended Version

noreply@blogger.com (Hendrick Honda SC) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:06:00 +0000

To celebrate the launch of the all-new 2012 CR-V, Honda brought Ferris Bueller's Day Off back in a big game commercial. We cast Matthew Broderick as himself, skipping out on a day of acting work and living it up in his all-new CR-V. Relive movie history with Honda's fresh twist and wonderful homage to this '80s classic.

Think you're a true fan of Ferris Bueller's Day Off? We hid over two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial. Some are obvious, some are VERY subtle. See how many you can find. #dayoff

Smartphone traffic apps to pass traffic

noreply@blogger.com (Blog Author) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 10:06:00 +0000

Smartphone Traffic Apps

Whether you live in Greensville, Spartanburg – or Easley – you are not immune to the traffic congestion that seems to plague our roads today. Being able to keep up with rapidly changing traffic situations can allow you to stay a jump ahead of problems that occur on the road to and from work. Web and mobile phone developers have recognized this and developed some applications that can provide real-time traffic reports to motorists. Most smartphones these days come with some kind of mapping application and some include additional information on traffic conditions. If you are looking for a bit more, consider these free apps:

Waze.com - Waze – FREE

This app utilizes real-time reports from drivers to provide up to the minute information on traffic, construction, and speed traps, among other information. It can alert you to developing events that occur on your itinerary and provide alternative routes. The drawback is that people have to use it and report in order to get maximum benefit. But many consider this to be the best approach to dealing with real-time traffic situations.

Sigalert.com – Live Traffic Reports - FREE

Sigalert updates their maps continuously with state highway patrol data and traffic sensors. It includes information on accident, construction, and other traffic conditions. This is a user-friendly app. I like the fact that maps are zoomable and it can show you current traffic speeds. This app is not available in all metro areas, but it does support Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston, and new areas are being added all the time. This is my favorite app.

These applications all provide valuable traffic data to the commuter. Of course drivers must utilize any smartphone app with extreme caution while driving. In fact, you should use these apps only where you can do so safely, without endangering yourself or others around you. Good luck!

Car Care Tips for Safe Driving during your Summer Family Vacations!

noreply@blogger.com (Blog Author) — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:03:00 +0000

Summer means fun in the sun and vacations road trips for most families. Hendrick Honda of Easley SC knows that taking an extended road trip can actually take a toll on the family car. Extreme heat and long drives can be tough on tires. Many cars driving in summer heat experience overheated radiators, cracked hoses, underinflated tires and dirty filters. All these factors can significantly reduce the fuel efficiency, or worse, can lead to a total breakdown. Before planning a vacation with your family this summer be sure to get your vehicle ready for the trip to avoid any unnecessary hassles and roadside breakdowns. Hendrick Honda offers a quick summer car care checklist to ensure you spend more time with your family during the vacation rather than changing a flat tire on the side of the road.

If you haven't had your car in for routine maintenance in the last few months, get it into your local Easley repair shop or auto service center for a full safety inspection a week or so before you leave for vacation. This will allow enough time to fix any problems the technician may have uncovered.

Be sure to ask your Certified Auto Technician to check the following:

Check your tires as tire pressure changes with the rising temperatures. Request your mechanic to check for tire tread depth and condition. Don’t forget to have the spare tire pressure checked as well.
Get your air conditioning system checked.
Also insist that your car technician examines the windshield wipers, lights, belts, filters and hoses.
Check to be sure your car battery is in good shape.

Even if your car technician confirms everything is fine, there is always a possibility of car trouble while you are on vacation. So be sure you are always equipped with an Emergency Road Kit to save you from those dreaded moments when you have car trouble in the middle of the road, especially if there is no nearby car repair service available.

Make sure your Emergency Road Kit include:

· Flashlights and flares

· Multipurpose tools including pliers, screwdriver, wire cutters, an awl, a knife, file, a saw, and a bottle opener

· A First Aid kit

· Water

· Jumper cables

· Tire inflator

· Extra fluids (oil, coolant, transmission)

· A jack (ensure that the vehicle jack is operational and all the tools are present)

· Gloves

· Rags/paper towels

· Blanket

Other Useful Tip

Pack as lightly as possible as this can help avoiding unnecessary weight on your tires, and can help you save some gas! And be careful not to block your view in the mirror while driving.
Follow the highway speed limits not only for your safety, but to save some extra fuel as well.
Finally, follow all the road safety rules and enjoy the open roads and the sunny sky with your loved ones!

2011 Honda Odyssey – 5 Star Safety for your Family!

noreply@blogger.com (Blog Author) — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:54:00 +0000

Hendrick Honda in Easley believes safety is the number one goal. Honda makes that happen with the 2011 Honda Odyssey in fact the Odyssey just made history by becoming the first and only minivan to win the NHTSA’s (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) highest honor of 2011 Top Safety Pick. The Odyssey also won the highest possible safety ratings for the IIHS(Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) and the NHTSA. Not only did it pass stringent testing for front, side, rear and rollover crashes in protecting vehicle occupants, it even passed the rigorous roof-strength test.

The 2011 Odyssey was also one of the first vehicles to win the “Overall Vehicle Score” of 5 stars for crash scenarios, and 4 stars for the rollover rating as the federal New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), being applied for the first time to 2011 models.

What makes the 2011 Odyssey so different?

With increased interior functionality, more distinctive styling and better fuel economy have helped make the new Odyssey a winner among Honda and minivan drivers all around. Aside from more comfortable seating and a more powerful, efficient 3.5 liter i-VTEC engine that delivers 248 horsepower, there is a rear entertainment system with a 16.2” ultra-wide split-screen display and auxiliary HDMI video input. The “intelligent” i-MID (Multi-Information Display) has customizable wallpaper and integration of FM traffic data among many other features.

All 2011 Odysseys are built with the Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, an exclusive body design that enhances passenger safety and crash compatibility in frontal crashes through a set-up of structural connections that reduce the force directed toward the passenger cabin. The minivan comes standard with Vehicle Stability Assist, traction control, Anti-Lock Braking System, front driver’s side airbag, three-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags and finally, a front passenger’s side airbag with an occupant detection system.

Honda Fit - Changing Appeal in its Class!

noreply@blogger.com (Blog Author) — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 21:19:00 +0000

Don’t let the Honda Fit fool you… with its compact size and excellent fuel performance, you're likely to be mistaken in thinking Honda scrimped on this sharp little road warrior. The fact is that, in the car that has the most cargo space of any vehicle in its class, Honda packed in so much value that the Honda Fit has taken the Consumer Reports title of 2011 Top Pick Budget Car. Furthermore, the Fit was ranked above over 200 other cars assessed for value, and was proclaimed to have almost twice the value of the average vehicle model.

Even the base model includes air conditioning, full power accessories, keyless entry, cruise control, a telescoping/tilt wheel, the very useful 60/40 split seat and a sound system complete with USB/CD/auxiliary. The Honda Fit Sport model adds a wealth of both stylish and functional upgrades, ranging from alloy wheels, a underbody aero kit, rear spoiler and fog lights to an upgraded stereo system. The Sport model is also available with Satellite-Linked navigation with Voice Recognition on a 6.5” screen with over 7 million points of interest.

The bottom line? Starting between $16K - $17K, the Honda Fit is fit with more style and value than most vehicles, both in the Honda’s lineup and throughout other manufacturers, and it has outranked countless vehicles in other classes. It may be a “budget” car, but there’s nothing cheap about it!

Honda CR-V – An Award Winning Family Vehicle!!

noreply@blogger.com (Blog Author) — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:44:00 +0000

Practical and safe are just some of the things that come to mind when thinking about transporting your most precious cargo – your family! And with today’s active and busy on-the-go lifestyles, having affordable, safe and reliable transportation is an absolute must. Today’s families are, needless to say, fast-paced, and between the parent’s work schedule and the kid’s school and extra-curricular schedules, families need a vehicle as flexible as they are.

The Honda CR-V is the perfect Sport Utility Vehicle for the modern family. For decades, Honda has been engineering award winning vehicles that meet the needs of people everywhere. Meeting and beating challenges that range from a wide variety of issues such as safety, technological, environmental, affordability, comfort, performance, resale value, and then some.

Best Cars says that while, “The 2011 CR-V has not yet been crash tested, the highly-similar 2010 CR-V receives top score of five-stars in all federal government front and side crash tests, as well as a four-star rollover score. In crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the 2010 CR-V earns a top score of “Good” in front offset and side impact tests.”

“Reviewer’s are applauding its list of safety features -- which includes everything expected in a family SUV: dual-stage front airbags, front side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, Anti-lock Brakes, Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control and Brake Assist.”

Kelley Blue Book honored the 2011 CR-V with its Best Resale Value Award in both the Compact Utility Vehicle and Top 10 categories and also states, "Visibility is good in all directions, even to the rear."

Cars.com says, “What I love about the CR-V's safety features is that everything is standard. From the entry-level base model to the top of the line EX-L, all of the safety stuff is included because, really, saving lives shouldn't be optional."

Additionally, the Honda CR-V has earned props form Edmunds.com and Motor Trend and the CR-V earned an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV-2) rating by the California Air Resources Board, which makes sense since Honda is “recognized as the country’s Greenest Automaker by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)―for the fifth time in a row.”

Honda Wins "Greenest Automaker" Award from UCS Again

noreply@blogger.com (Blog Author) — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 09:01:00 +0000

Honda has been named America's "Greenest Automaker" for the fifth consecutive time by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). This prestigious award has been given to Honda for its lowest combined score of its smog-forming and greenhouse gas emissions (primarily CO2) in its US automobile fleet. Hendrick Honda, as one of the premier Honda car dealer in Easley, SC would like to inform our followers that Honda is leading the UCS rankings of overall vehicle environmental performance since the first UCS study in 2000. Honda has created history with a decade of leadership in reduced vehicle emissions. The carmaker has won this honor with an industry-best score based on model year 2008 data, the latest available for analysis.

As Hendrick Honda believes, Honda continues to accelerate its efforts to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions that contribute to global climate change. Honda has sold a number of green cars promoting “go green” message everywhere and according to the data determined by the Department of Transportation, the automaker has secured a 1 mpg gain in its US corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) for the 2009 model year which is actually up by 3.3% over the previous model year to 31.3 mpg and 9.8% above the MY2009 industry average of 28.8 mpg.

Honda’s Insight is the world's most affordable hybrid car and the CR-Z is the world's first production sport hybrid coupe. The all-new 2011 Odyssey minivan and redesigned 2011 Accord score in fuel economy through their use of more efficient low-friction engines and improved vehicle aerodynamics. Not only this, Honda’s alternative-fuel vehicles like natural gas-powered Civic GX Sedan and FCX Clarity fuel cell electric vehicle are gaining ground in some states and Honda plans to continue its “green journey” with the proposed battery-electric commuter-sized vehicle and plug-in hybrid technology for mid-size and larger vehicles.
