Honda Pilot 2009 review and test drive

 

MSRP $27,695 - $40,095

Honda Pilot 2009 is a great vehicle for your family. There are many features and new technology to comfort you and your family.

Pros:Great as an all round family vehicle, very flexible space options and very safe. Like most people we compared and drove all the competitiors, but kept coming back to the Honda. We found that for us it offers the best all around package for drive / safety / economy / flexibility / styling / reliability and residual value. We really like the new style and exterior (including the HDMI grill) The external shape also helps to give the best functional interior space and layout.

And the Touring model includes a trailer harness that provides electrical power to the trailer lights.

Honda Fit 2010 First sight

   

Honda Fit or Honda Jazz is a favorite product in many countries. Its a very nice city car. Its small, beautiful, good for an active woman. With many technologies applied on it, Honda Fit become the most wanted city car.

As was introduced, Honda Fit 2010 are equipped with a standard 1.5-liter, I4, 117-horsepower engine that achieves 27-mpg in the city and 33-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on the 5-Spd MT. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on the Sport 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System.

The 2010 Fit is a 4-door, family sedan, or city sedan. Fit 2010 available in 6 trims, ranging from the 5-Spd MT to the Sport 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System.

Honda Fit 2010 is very easy to speed! Cant tell when youre going over 40! Small car but seems bigger when inside. Like that back seats fold down, or up for tall floor board items such as plants. Still have spacy trunk space, way more than hybrid cars. Honda has a great warranty that I can vouch for. Plus my dealership gives free towing package,so dont have to buy AAA. I would recommend a different material for seats, even leather, since every piece of lint sticks to the seats. Also no vents in back, but A/C works ok as long as you are driving. Honda needs to put tilt steering since I cant see the speedometer, which is not good. Overall, very satisfied.

2010 Accord Crosstour SUV short car review

Honda Accord has a new family. Its 2010 Accord Cross tour SUV. This car is will be released for the first time in United states. As seen on this prototype, the CUV’s front end will clearly be similar to that of the four-door Accord, although we can tell there has been some butching-up of the graphic elements beneath the thick tarps. A side swoosh similar to the Accord sedan’s passes through door handles borrowed from that model. Where the Crosstour really goes its own way, however, is aft of the B-pillar, where the window line rises to a point and the rear end slopes down to form a hatchback. The shape of the rear end appears to have necessitated the addition of a second, Insight-esque lower rear window to salvage some outward vision.

MSRP $20,275 - $25,770
The 2009 Element is a 4-door, 4-passenger sport-utility, available in 10 trims, ranging from the LX 2WD 5-Spd... read more AT to the SC 2WD 5-Spd AT w/Navigation System.

Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 166-horsepower engine that achieves 20-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
I enjoy taking it to the beach, no better beach vehicle out there in my opinion. Load it up with all your stuff including surf board on top with special roof racks. Bicycles roll in standing up without having to take anything apart. Great for a business car as well, moved 30 by 60 desks from one location to another and can close the tail gate behind it. Plenty of room for moving file boxes from one location to another. I find the car confortable and I like the look of it, they say beauty is in the beholder. Oh did I say I love the tail gate, have had many enjoyable lunches sitting on my tail gate.

Honda CR-V 2009 Closer look

The 2009 CR-V is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 8 trims, ranging from the LX 2WD 5-Spd... read more AT to the EX-L 4WD 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System.

Upon introduction, the LX 2WD 5-Spd AT is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 166-horsepower engine that achieves 20-mpg in the city and 27-mpg on the highway.

MSRP $21,245 - $28,945

The ride is similar to the Accords because of engine/power.Does lack some of the features the Accord had, but i guess that is to be expected. I've only had it for less than a week, and i have already made the transition over from car to small suv. if your interested in buying one, test drive it! you got nothing to lose. Honda needs to put A/C vents in the back and make the front seats better for long
trip travel. Otherwise this is the perfect vehicle for any size family
to use as a primary vehicle or a secondary car. The styleing is
best of all SUV's.

Honda 2009 Civic Coupe Review

MSRP
$15,305 - $23,655

The 2009 Civic Coupe is a 2-door, 5-passenger family coupe, available in 12 trims, ranging from the DX 5-Spd MT to the EX-L 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System.

Upon introduction, the DX 5-Spd MT is equipped with a standard 1.8-liter, I4, 140-horsepower engine that achieves 26-mpg in the city and 34-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.

A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.

At first our milage was not as expected. We were told to give it a 1000 miles. Now with a bit of gentle driving we get 40 mph on the highway. We were pleased with the milage on our 2002 Intrepid (32 highway mpg). The Honda goes the same distance on a tank of gas (11 gallons) that the Intrepid travels on a tank (16 gallons). The Honda is a nice road car. It is comfortable and we know we'll get to where we're going without any trouble. We believe it was a great investment
Handling is amazing, and so is braking and accelaration. In my opinion appearance looks good. Build quility is one of the best in its class. Car looks good, drives good, feels good and is comfortable. Can't really find something i really don't like about this car. Only thing is road noise but it is a small car. Also wont win any races, but will save you money cause its so efficient. One of the best car out there. Would definitely reccomend this car to anyone who is looking for a car in this class.

2009 Honda S2000 Review and Specification

This is the new Honda S2000, combination between beauty and performance. The Honda coupe series S2000 promise a smooth handling and big end power without decreasing the safety.

The 2009 S2000 is a 2-door, 2-passenger convertible sports car, available in 3 trims, ranging from the 6-Spd MT to the CR A/C 6-Spd MT. Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 2.2-liter, I4, 237-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard
The S2000 sports a powerful, 2.2-liter, high revving engine
Powered by 2.2 L VTEC engine for better response and top speed
Total horsepower 237 hp
High tech design to maximize the aerodynamic shape and sleek lines.
The anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps you maintain steering control during hard stops, the power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes and Vehicle Stability Assist.

There's no disputing the Honda S2000's quality and reliability, but interior comfort may not be as good as that of other cars in its class.
The 2009 Honda S2000 enjoys better handling due to the quicker steering ratio and new tires, and the CR model is a track-worthy contender that can hold its own against more expensive European and American competition.

The EPA estimates that the 2009 Honda S2000, whether in standard or CR form, will get 18 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway. The small engine combined with lightweight construction on the Honda S2000 result in a relatively performance machine.
