2012 Honda Civic

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:54:26 +0000

It is no surprise that the 2012 Honda Civic has gotten some of the best reviews in its class. The body style was carefully adjusted to prove the Civic’s evolution in time rather than a complete redesign. The vehicle is designed for comfort-ability, safety, and economic sustainability. The sculpted bumpers, swept back windshield, longer hood, and larger taillights are all a part of the 2012 Honda Civic’s charm. Some of the body style advancements also improve the Civic’s aerodynamics.
When I was sitting in the 2012 Honda Civic for the first time, I realized how comfortable the seat was before anything! No intrusive lumbar support and no awkward head rest. The two-tier display with digital speedometer above the analog tachometer was right where I needed it to be. The vehicle is designed for easy driving, the steering wheel does not block important displays from the driver like similar models. When I started driving the 2012 Honda Civic LX Automatic I was a little hesitant… I had been driving manual Honda Accords for over five years, needless to say speed and pickup are important to me when driving in Atlanta traffic. I was amazed at how the Civic drove though.

The 2012 Honda Civic is like no other automatic fuel efficient vehicle I have driven in the past. The 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 140 hp is strong enough to feel its power on the road yet is still incredibly economic with 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg oh highways! The gears changed flawlessly when I hit the gas getting onto the highway. I couldn’t hear a sound and the ride was indescribably smooth.

The multi informational display is fantastic as well, I could easily read what songs were playing while I was driving. The interior was very spacious with more leg room and shoulder room for the front and rear passengers. The 2012 Honda Civic is on an entirely different list when I compare it to all of the fuel efficient cars in its class. The style is sleek, the inside is comfortable and charming, visibility is perfect, and the drive was smooth and fast!

The most impressive part about the 2012 Honda Civic is how there are so many upgrades from the 2011 Honda Civic and so many options like the Hybrid, Coupe, HF, and Sedan… Yet the prices have largely unchanged! There are so many trim styles to chose from at, check out your Atlanta Dealer!

Auto Butler

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:58:53 +0000

Automated car washes are great because they are fast, and I always wondered about effectiveness of the upgradable wax option. I have tried a few times, but whenever I would run my finger across the paint, it would never smoothly glide like hand applied waxes. Just recently Honda Carland in Roswell, GA installed a waxing machine called the “Auto Butler”. Upon hearing about the Auto Butler I was very apprehensive, thinking that it will not come close to the effectiveness of a by-hand wax application. Well… I was wrong like many times! I place my own vehicle in the Auto Butler after it was cleaned. The machine covered my vehicle in a liquid, and then the rotating brushes covered every inch of the paint and glass. So, the real tests had to be administered. I ran my finger across the paint, and it glided just like the hand waxes. Not yet content with my latest revelation, I had to see how it worked in the rain. So driving up to New York for the Holidays afforded me rain, snow, and sleet in one trip. The windows repelled the water, and allowed the wipers to clear. The water beaded and streaked of the paint in the rain. So, I was forced to concede, wax can be applied by a machine. Who would have “Thunk”!

So research must follow this ground-breaking discovery. The application is a two-step application process. The first visit Honda Carland cleans and removes all of the dirt from your vehicle. Then they run the vehicle through the Auto Butler. The first cycle administers a high-grade cleaner/polish. This will help remove any dirt and industrial contaminants. Next, the protection coat is applied to protect your paint from the enviornmental hazards and UV radiation. The brushes have over 20,000 soft finger-like cloths that push the polish into every nook and cranny. The nice thing, is you do not have to worry about swirl marks or buffer burn. The Auto Butler does have a warranty program that will cover additional applications. I strongly suggest checking this service out, since I’m a believer! Please feel free to visit our service – www.carlandservice.com to see about getting this innovative product that will help save you time, elbow grease, and money!

Accord Crosstour

In ten years of sales for Honda Carland in Roswell, GA, I have been asked over 20 times… “When is Honda going to do a new wagon?” Fact is, every time we received a 1995-1997 Accord Wagon-we sold them fast, and the customers that traded them absolutely loved them! The Accord Wagon discontinued in the mid to late 90s, and Honda went full steam ahead with the Odyssey! Today’s market is changing- the introduction of the “Crossover” vehicle combines styling and functionality. The Honda Odysseyhas set the standard for the minivan market since 1999. The Crosstour will set the stage for another specific market segment- The Suburbanite Supreme!

Honda Develops New Personal Mobility Device

Honda Develops New Personal Mobility Device

Date: September 23, 2009 23:31
Submitted by: Jeff
Source: Honda Press Release
Credibility Rating: Not Specified

09/23/2009 – TOKYO, Japan -

Pursuing the concept of “harmony with people” Honda has developed a new personal mobility technology and unveiled U3-X, a compact experimental device that fits comfortably between the rider’s legs, to provide free movement in all directions just as in human walking – forward, backward, side-to-side, and diagonally. Honda will continue research and development of the device including experiments in a real-world environment to verify the practicality of the device.

This new personal mobility device makes it possible to adjust speed and move, turn and stop in all directions when the rider leans the upper body to shift body weight. This was achieved through application of advanced technologies including Honda’s balance control technology, which was developed through the robotics research of ASIMO, Honda’s bipedal humanoid robot, and the world’s first* omni-directional driving wheel system (Honda Omni Traction Drive System, or HOT Drive System), which enables movement in all directions, including not only forward and backward, but also directly to the right and left and diagonally. In addition, this compact size and one-wheel-drive personal mobility device was designed to be friendly to the user and people around it by making it easier for the rider to reach the ground from the footrest and placing the rider on roughly the same eye level as other people or pedestrians.

Honda is planning to showcase the U3-X at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show 2009 (sponsored by JAMA) which will begin on October 24, 2009 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

Striving to propose the next-generation mobility which expands the joy and fun of mobility, Honda has been conducting robotics research since 1986, including ASIMO, walking assist devices and U3-X, at the Honda R&D Co., Ltd. Fundamental Technology Research Center in Wako, Saitama, Japan.

* Based on Honda’s internal research

Key features of U3-X
{Free movement just as in human walking}

Device control featuring application of balance control technology cultivated through ASIMO research:
The incline sensor detects the incline of the device based on the weight shift of the rider and determines the rider’s intention in terms of the direction and speed. Based on the data, precise control is applied to return the device to an upright position, which achieves smooth and agile movements and simple operation by weight shift only.
HOT Drive System (Omni-directional driving wheel system):
Honda developed the world’s first wheel structure which enables movement in all directions including forward, backward, side-to-side and diagonally. Multiple small-diameter motor-controlled wheels were connected in-line to form one large-diameter wheel. By moving the large-diameter wheel, the device moves forward and backward, and by moving small-diameter wheels, the device moves side-to-side. By combining these movements the device moves diagonally.{Compact size which fit between the user’s legs}
Compact and innovative package:
The combination of the balance control technology and the HOT Drive System enabled the one-wheel style compact and innovative package of the device. In addition, the device adopts a light-weight monocoque body in which the foldable seat, footrests and body cover that also function as the frame are stored in the body of the device, achieving highly portable convenience.

Key specifications of the experimental model:

Just another reason why Honda is such a great company. I know a lot of this is marketing, but looking solely at the technology- it is forward thinking. If you or someone you know is interested in purchasing a Honda or Acura – please visit www.shopcarland.com !
