Congratulations to Honda for capturing three very prestigious awards at this year’s AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards.  The Vehicle Satisfaction Awards are based on the results of over 75,000 surveys completed by U.S. drivers of cars and light trucks through the first quarter of 2012. Considering that the surveys are completed solely on owner input, the VSA’s are deemed a very reliable and accurate measurement of customer satisfaction. This year’s VSA winners are the 2012 Honda CR-V, the 2012 Honda Odyssey, and the 2012 Honda Pilot.
The elegant 2012 Honda CR-V is style and grace at its best. Powered by an in-line 4-cylinder engine that cranks out 185-horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque, the CR-V has a 5-speed automatic transmission that allows you to coast smoothly on the road.
The 2012 Honda Odyssey delivers in every category from an abundance of cargo room to excellent fuel efficiency. The 2012 Honda Odyssey has a V6 engine that emits 248-horsepower along with a 4-speed automatic transmission. With an EPA estimate of 18/27 miles per gallon (city/hwy) this car offers everything you could possible want in a minivan!
The Honda Pilot is equipped with an endless list of features and accessories that any new driver would find fascinating. An Active noise cancellation system, hill start assist system, and a variable cylinder management system come with the Pilot just to name a few.
We are extremely proud of Honda for continuing to show why the Honda brand is what it is today.
Q. I’m new to Honda and I don’t know how long I should leave my vehicle plugged in for. I’ve heard that I should use a timer to have it turn on early in the morning before I leave for work. Wouldn’t plugging it in overnight be better, make it warmer inside my car?
A. This question comes up often, usually when the weather turns colder. (We’ve been lucky this year, but now that winter has settled in…) The engine block heater is designed to do just what its title suggests: heat the engine block (a bit). The block heater element is located in the coolant passages surrounding your engine block assembly. When supplied with electricity, it produces heat from the element. This will transfer to the coolant and slightly warm it up (anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius). The warming of the coolant, and thus the block assembly, makes engine starting easier, and shortens engine warm up time a bit. It does NOT warm the interior of the car, nor does it generate enough heat to have warm air flowing from the heat vents right away. Its only job is to help cold starting, really. Once the engine block heats up to a certain point, determined by the outside air temperature and any air motion in the area, the heat generated becomes lost to the surrounding air. That’s why plugging in your vehicle overnight is wasteful; the heat generated is just lost to the cold air surrounding the engine. Not the best use of electricity. Once the block heater has been operating for about 40-55 minutes, any heat generated becomes wasted. That means plugging in your vehicle 30-50 minutes before you plan to start it is the best use of the energy and heat. And this is where the timer comes in; you don’t have to go outside to plug in your car in the early morning cold if you set a timer and plug in the night before.
A remarkable history of Soichiro Honda, the great visionary and man of humble origins. His life was devoted in self-improvement and his continuous struggles to achieve success. This Life history is the true essence of Mr Honda and enforces the meaning of” The Power of Dreams”. Thank you Mr Honda for enriching our lives with your vision and bringing joy to millions.
