Honda Unveils the Eco-Friendly 2011 CR-Z

Proctor Honda, the leading Tallahassee Honda dealership, is proud to announce a new Honda that will add some style to the available green cars on the market. The Honda CR-Z, a sporty two-passenger coupe, aims to provide consumers with a car that assures “Green Performance for a New Generation.”

This all-new car supports a sleek two-passenger design with quick, sporty handling that is sure to lead the gasoline-electric hybrid segment of available cars. The car has an original 3-mode drive system that allows the driver to configure the vehicle’s responsiveness for Sport, Normal or Economy driving modes.

The coupe was designed to symbolize a new era of style: one that is sporty yet environmental. For Honda, this meant a design that took some elements of past Honda vehicles and updated them to meet the needs of today’s consumers. The exterior design of the car borrows the style of the Honda CRX of the 1980s and 1990s. Features have been added to the car to make it the environmentally sensible car that the drivers of today look for: a one-motion wedge form, compact dimensions, light-weight construction and an aerodynamic design. Together, these elements work to improve the car’s performance and reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Just as much effort went into planning the interior of the car to make it driver-friendly and high-tech. The interior features controls are close to the driver’s hands, allowing the driver’s concentration to be on the road. All models have automatic climate control, six-speaker audio system with compact disc player, USB input for iPod®, power windows and locks and keyless entry.

Honda is offering the CR-Z in two models, the base model (CR-Z) and the CR-Z EX. Both models are available with either six-speed manual or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

Safety has continued to be a key element in the production of Honda and the CR-Z is no exception. The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is designed to help protect vehicle occupants in a collision. Other safety features include standard dual-stage, multiple threshold front airbags, standard front-side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS), side-curtain airbags, active head restraints, anti-lock braking system, tire pressure monitoring system and a pedestrian injury mitigation design in the front of the vehicle.

Proctor Honda, serving Thomasville Honda customers, is your number one dealership and is part of THE PROCTOR DEALERSHIPS, which provides North Florida and South Georgia with one of the best selections of new and pre-owned vehicles in the state of Florida.

The Honda CRV Takes on the Toyota Rav4

Panama City Honda shoppers looking for a sporty SUV model can check out the Honda CRV models available at Proctor Honda. But how does the CRV measure up to others in its class? Well, we decided to test drive these vehicles online at Proctor's new online comparison shopping tool.

Let's get started.

Both the CRV and the Rav4 rated 5 stars in the driver safety category administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. However, in terms of passenger safety, the Rav4 rated only a 4, while the CRV continued to excel with a 5 star rating.

JD Power and Associates gave the Honda CRV a top ranking in reliability among compact multi-activity vehicles, but the Rav4 was not listed in the top three. In general, JD Power and Associates ranked Honda vehicles fifth in inital quality. Toyota is ranked sixth.

The Honda CRV has more overall space than Toyota's Rav4, offering drivers .1 inches more in headroom, 2.1 inches more in front hip room, .2 inches more in rear leg room, 2.2 inches more in rear hip room, and .7 more inches in rear shoulder room.

Again, the CRV has a lower maintenance cost with typical repairs being cheaper than Toyota's Rav4. The CRV is also recommended by Consumer Reports, Car Book's "Best Bet" and Kiplingers.

Panama City Honda drivers can take a more in depth look at the impressive features and driving capabilities of the CRV at Tallahassee Honda dealer, Proctor Honda.

The Honda Civic Takes On Toyota's Prius

The Toyota Prius has been a news darling as of late, but what the Honda Civic may lack in spicy news stories, it makes up for with its tried and true performance features. You know what they say: slow and steady wins the race.

Since both of these cars have been praised for their thought conscious design details and performance, we decided to test them out on the Proctor Honda comparison model tool.

Safety is an important factor in any vehicle purchase. Both the Civic and Prius have front and side driver and passenger airbags, although the Civic pulls in ahead by offering daytime running lights which have been proven to reduce driving accidents by 11%.

In terms of fuel economy and range, the Civic offers a 13.2 gallon tank as opposed to the Prius' 11.9 gallon capacity. The Prius offers up an automatic transmission, while the Honda Civic has a manual transmission which aids in better fuel economy, acceleration and control. The Civic also has a 1000 pound towing cability, outrunning the Prius - which has none.

Panama City Honda shoppers that want to take a look at all the Honda Civic has to offer can check out and test drive the new Civic models available at Proctor Honda in Tallahassee.

Comparison Shopping Showdown: the Honda Accord Sedan VS the Toyota Camry

Tallahassee Honda shoppers looking to do a little comparison shopping need look no further than Proctor Honda's new online comparison tool. With a detailed rundown of everything from how each model compares in safety rankings and features to detailed reports on fuel efficiency and engine and towing capabilities, Honda shoppers can check out their favorite vehicle features from the comfort of their own home.

To get an idea of how this new service works, we're going to compare two popular sedan models - the Honda Accord Sedan and the Toyota Camry. Both of these models have sold unusually well over the past decade, but we're going to compare their design and performance features side by side.

Starting with safety features, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave both vehicles a 5 star rating. However, the IIHS showed that the Accord Sedan performed much better than the Camry in its safety tests, with the Sedan ranking "Good" in each category, while the Camry ranked "Marginal" in 2 out of 3 scenarios and also failed the seat design test.

An EPA test cycle showed that the Accord Sedan V6 got better fuel mileage than its Camry V6 counterpart. The Accord Sedan also has better fuel efficiency with an engine control system that allows the engine to shut off half its cylinders in order to improve performance. The Camry does not offer this technology.

The Accord Sedan is also rated as a better economic purchase, since the cost of repairs is much cheaper than the Toyota Camry and will command a lower insurance premium.

Panama City Honda shoppers can check out and test drive the Honda Accord Sedan at Proctor Honda in Tallahassee.

The Honda Accord Crosstour Stacks Up Against the Toyota Venza

Proctor Honda, the premiere Tallahassee Honda dealership, is introducing a new comparison tool on their home site that allows Panama City Honda shoppers compare popular Honda models with their Ford, Toyota, Chevy and Dodge competitors - among others.

Using this new state-of-the-art comparison site, we decided to test out a few models. First up? The Honda Accord Crosstour versus the Toyota Venza. Both vehicles are similar in shape and style, but let's delve further into the mix to see how the Accord Crosstour really stacks up to the Venza.

In terms of safety features, the Venza offers both front and side airbags, as does the Crosstour. However, the Crosstour's airbags employ smart technology which allows it to deploy different levels of force depending on the crash situation. The Venza defaults to a full deploy setting.

Performance is a top priority for most Tallahassee Honda drivers, so we'll focus on that for a moment. While the Venza has a towing capacity of 1,000 pounds, the Crosstour can manage up to a whopping 1,500 pounds. Honda's Accord Crosstour also has a more fuel efficient engine control system that allows the engine to shut down half of its cylinders to improve efficiency, while Toyota's Venza does not.

While the Toyota Venza is an attractive vehicle, its safety and performance features lack in comparison to Honda's Accord Crosstour. But don't just take our word for it - the Accord was chosen as one of Car and Driver's "Top 10" for 15 of the last 18 years.

Panama City Honda drivers can test drive the new Honda Accord Crosstour and see what all the fuss is about at Proctor Honda in Tallahassee.

Tallahassee Honda Dealer Reveals Stylish, Dynamic Design for Odyssey

The Honda Odyssey, for sale at your local Tallahassee Honda dealership Proctor Cars, introduces a sleek and distinctive exterior styling direction for the next generation of the industry's best-selling minivan.

The Odyssey Concept dramatically departs from conventional minivan styling with its low and wide stance, highlighted by a "lightning-bolt" beltline that further distinguishes the vehicle's profile. Compared to the current Odyssey, the Concept's slightly lower roofline and wider stance contribute to a sleeker, stronger and more dynamic presence with improved aerodynamics that help increase fuel economy for Tallahassee Honda drivers.

"The Odyssey established its reputation by providing families with what they most want in a minivan - great functionality, an emphasis on safety and good fuel economy," said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of American Honda product planning. "Odyssey then further delighted customers with its surprisingly engaging, fun-to-drive and dynamic nature. The next-generation Odyssey promises to take these strengths to a higher level while adding more style and personality."




Odyssey Remains Most Popular Minivan For Panama City Honda Fans

The Odyssey has been America's best-selling minivan since 20082 and is produced exclusively in Alabama by Honda Manufacturing of Alabama.

The Odyssey has won numerous awards and critical acclaim. Recent accolades include an Edmunds.com 2010 "Top Recommended" minivan award, U.S. News and World Report 2010 "Best Minivan for the Money" award, Automotive Lease Guide 2010 "Best Minivan for the Money," the Kelley Blue Book award as one of the ten "Best New Family Vehicles of 2009" and "2009 Best Resale Value Award" in the van category, which recognizes vehicles that are expected to have segment-leading resale value after five years of ownership.

Honda Tallahassee 2009 Honda Accord Video Review

Review this Honda in Tallahassee 2009 Accord Video by Proctor Honda of the 2009 Honda Accord.

Today we are going show you a live video walk around of the new 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6 model sedan with the Navigation system.



As you may already know, the Honda Accord has always offered top quality and reliability in a fun-to-drive package. Along the way, the Accord has stood for innovation in terms of manufacturing, environmental performance, safety and even luxury. Although the first Accord was in 1976, it was in 1982 that the Accord would become the first Japanese-nameplate vehicle produced in the United States. The name Accord was actually derived from Honda's unremitting effort to achieve "accord" between people, society, and the automobile through quality and advanced technology. The first Accord introduced with a 1.6 liter engine and 68 horsepower was rather different than other traditional models in that time. However, the success seemed almost immediate. Now with the release of the 8th generation Accord, Honda has certainly seen a great track history, even making Car and Driver's 10Best 23 times!

The 2009 Honda Accord has come a long way from where it began 0ver 33 years ago. This live video walk around should help you understand just a little bit more about this incredible machine. For more information about the Accord complete line-up of models please visit our showroom at Proctor Honda located at 2373 W. Tennessee St. Tallahassee, FL 32304.

Honda "Tires for Life" and "Warranty for Life". How Does this work and is it true?

At Proctor Honda in Tallahassee, it is our commitment to provide you the very best Honda pricing and service available. In today's marketplace it seems like everyone is offering something that makes them the right place to do business with. While some offers may be legitimate, others are a tactic to improve sales by offering something that sounds too good to be true. As the old saying goes "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." As rational consumers, we can all agree that the terms like "free" and "for life" are usually associated with fine print and multiple stipulations.

To help arm our valued community, we offer this guide to "Tires for Life" and "Warranty for Life" programs you may encounter. These are a series of questions that may help you learn more about "Tires for Life" or "Warranty for Life" programs that other dealers may offer.

  • Will maintenance outside of the Honda dealership affect my "Tires for Life" warranty?
  • Why would standard maintenance occurring outside the Honda dealership void my "Tires for Life" warranty?
  • What does an oil change or other standard maintenance have to do with my tire warranty?
  • If I were on a trip away from home and needed my oil changed, would that affect my tires for life warranty?
  • Does the Honda dealer's maintenance schedule match the manufacturer's schedule?
  • If my tire pressure is off by a pound or two (but within tire manufacturer specified operating conditions), will this void my "tires for life" warranty?
  • Is it true that tires will not be replaced until 4/32" (1/8") of the tread remains?
  • At what tire tread depth does your service department recommend installing new tires?
  • Is "Warranty for Life" an American Honda product? If not, what company is it through?
  • What is the percentage of paid claims by the warranty company?

We hope by having a few of the questions answered, you will understand why we at Proctor Honda elect to focus on the Honda product and the excellent customer experience of buying your new Honda here, at Proctor Honda. Our ultimate goal is to have you as a customer "For Life".
