Honda CRV Accolades



The Honda CRV has been a popular SUV among Buyers and Critics..Here are some of the accolades that this great SUV has earned!

Kiplinger's
Winner in the crossover category, the 2008 CR-V takes “Best in Class” title with its cosmopolitan styling, sophisticated interior space, great fuel efficiency* and car-like handling. This small SUV makes a big impression as a best seller and best-crossover title holder. Best in Class Award-Winning Features:

Five-year service cost: $1,934
One-year insurance cost: $1,412
Resale value on three years: 57%; Five years: 41%

20 City / 27 Highway mpg* *EPA-estimated mpg 20/27/23 (city/highway/combined 2WD) and 20/26/22 (city/highway/combined 4WD). Based on 2009 EPA mileage estimates, reflecting new EPA fuel economy methods beginning with 2008 models. Use for comparison purposes only. Do not compare to models before 2008. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you drive and maintain your vehicle.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recognized the Honda CR-V as a 2009 "Top Safety Pick." The award was based on several extensive tests, including a frontal-offset crash test, side crash test and rear-impact test. In addition, each winner was required to have electronic stability control available as either standard equipment or as an option. Active safety systems such as stability control can help drivers avoid collisions altogether Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®), also known as electronic stability control, is standard equipment on the 2009 Honda CR-V.

Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com has honored Honda with its 2009 Best Resale Value Award in the Brand category. This means that across its entire line of vehicles, Honda has the best projected resale value. Individual Honda models—the Odyssey, CR-V, Fit and the entire Civic family—also won this prestigious award in separate categories. Projected resale value is specific to the 2009 model year. For more information, go to Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com. Kelley Blue Book is a registered trademark of Kelley Blue Book Co., Inc.

The 2008 CR-V received 5-star frontal and 5-star side-impact crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA). Every CR-V comes equipped with standard features such as Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, anti-lock braking (ABS) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Plus, six airbags, including side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, help protect driver and passengers in sufficient impacts.* *Government star ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA’s) New Car Assessment Program (http://www.safercar.gov/). Model tested with standard side-impact airbags (SABs).

Honda has a long history of environmental leadership, including the introduction of America's first mass produced hybrid, the Honda Insight, and the first vehicle to meet California’s low emission vehicle standards, well in advance of regulatory requirements. Acknowledgement of our commitment to innovation can be seen by Honda’s topping the rankings as the country’s greenest automaker by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)―for the fourth time in a row.

The CRV has received a new make over for 2010 and you can read up on that in the post below!

Top Questions about Cash For Clunkers!


Here are some of the top Q&A's about Cash for Clunkers. If there is anything that you would like to know, check the Cars FAQs link on the right...or contact me and I will see what I can do to have your Question answered!...

What is the Car Allowance Rebate System?
The Car Allowance Rebate System is a new program from the government that will help you pay for a new, more fuel efficient car or truck from a participating dealer when you trade in a less fuel efficient car or truck.

What is NHTSA doing to implement the program?
As required under the law, NHTSA will publish rules for the program in 30 days. We are currently working closely with manufacturers, dealers, and disposal facilities to get a workable, effective program up and running.

Do I need to get a voucher or sign up for this program?
No. You do not need a voucher and you are not required to sign up or enroll in this program. Participating new car dealers will apply a credit, reducing the price you pay at the time of your purchase or lease, provided the vehicle you buy or lease and the vehicle you trade in meet the program requirements. The dealer will then obtain reimbursement from the government.

How do I find out when my vehicle was manufactured?
The month and year of manufacture (e.g., 1-96 (January 1996)) appear on the safety standard certification label that is located on the frame or edge of the driver's door in most vehicles.

How do I find out the combined city/highway fuel economy rating of my trade-in vehicle? Go to http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/sbs.htm and click on the model year of your vehicle, the make, and then the model. Under the words "ESTIMATED NEW EPA MPG" in the red banner, there is a red number with the word "COMBINED" under it. That is the new combined city/highway fuel economy for your vehicle. You may then enter the make, model, and model year of a new vehicle you may want to buy and see its combined MPG for comparison.

Does the program apply if I want to lease a vehicle, or must I purchase a vehicle?
Under the program, you may purchase a new vehicle or lease a new vehicle, provided the lease period for the new vehicle is at least five years.


More information will be coming as soon as it comes in...I will ensure that this site has the most up to date info that it can. For any questions, comments, contact me at the information below!

Does Your Trade Qualify?



There are some simple rules to see if your current vehicle qualifies for this Program. Now we say simple, as of right now it seems pretty cut and dry, but as we all know things can always change. Below are the rules for qualification. If there are any questions, always feel free to call and I will help you see if your vehicle meets these criteria!

Your trade-in vehicle must...

...Have been manufactured less than 25 years before the date you trade it in

...Have a "new" combined city/highway fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon or less

...Be in drivable condition

...Be continuously insured and registered to the same owner for the full year preceding the trade-in

The trade-in vehicle must have been manufactured not earlier than 25 years before the date of trade in and, in the case of a category 3 vehicle, must also have been manufactured not later than model year 2001 Note that work trucks (i.e., very large pickup trucks and cargo vans) have different requirements.

So far this is what is being put out all across the Web as the Criteria, but as stated before..things have been known to change. Keep updated on this site daily to see if there are any last minute changes!

While the CARS Act makes transactions on and after July 1 potentially eligible for credits under the CARS program, interested dealers and consumers may want to wait until all of the detailed issues that must be addressed in the implementing regulations are resolved and the final rule is issued. Issuance will occur around July 24.

We have been helping those who are interested in this Program, get everything they need rolling..so that when it does officially start...they do not lose out. It will be a first come first serve basis. There is an allotment of FUNDS that has been approved for this Bill and when it is up, the Program ends. So the best bet is to get started as soon as possible to avoid not being able to take part in it.


For any further questions, concerns, please do not hesitate to call or e-mail me directly and I will do what I can to help!
