Here at Hillside Honda, we care about our customers long after they drive off of our lot, and we're not just talking about when they return to us for car repair or to buy their next new Honda vehicle.  We give back to the community in many different ways, and we aren't the only ones.  At a corporate level, Honda is committed to improving the lives of people of all ages all over the world.  Its most recent project provides an entirely different mode of transportation to those in need: legs.

Often, customers from the greater Queens, NY area come into the Hillside Honda showroom looking for the best car for a family and assume that a boring old minivan is their only bet (not that the Odyssey is dull with its powerful engine and long list of features).  However, Kelly Blue Book, which is one of the top automotive authorities out there, thinks you should consider another of our new models as well: the CR-V.

Kids Dropping Crumbs in Your New Odyssey? No Problem!

We spend a lot of time singing our praises for the Odyssey minivan here on the Hillside Honda blog for many reasons.  It's received some of the best safety ratings in the industry, is packed with convenience, technology, and comfort options that make it the ideal family vehicle, and is powerful while still getting excellent fuel economy.  Today, we'd like to add one more reason to this list: the 2014 edition of the popular minivan has a built-in vacuum cleaner.

We have a lot of customers from the greater Queens, NY area come into the Hillside Honda showroom looking for a great used or new family friendly, fuel efficient vehicle.  Usually, we recommend the Odyssey as the perfect option, but after what was recently revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show in China, we may have another great option in the future.

Beginning this July, the state of New York will be issuing new driver licenses. These hard, plastic cards will have improved security features including portraits in black and white on a solid, monolithic structure that cannot be separated into layers and tampered with. 

There are a lot of ways we describe the Honda Fit to our customers on the Queens area: highly versatile, fun to drive, agile, and according to U.S. News & World Report, a "Best Car for the Money."  In fact, the sporty hatchback earned two of these awards in two different categories, proving that it's one of the best options out there for buyers searching for a budget-friendly new vehicle.

For all you proud Honda CR-V and Odyssey owners, here is another plaque to add to the wall -  The efficient and capable CR-V was named "Best Compact SUV for Families" and the stylish up to 8-passenger Odyssey was named "Best Minivan for Families" among 2013 model year vehicles sold in the United States?
                                    
"Both the CR-V and the Odyssey exemplify 'family friendly' with top safety ratings, proven Honda quality and loads of smart features to keep the driver and all passengers comfortable and connected."


The first ever recipients of the IIHS SAFETY PICK + designation have been selected, and here at Hillside Honda we weren't at all surprised to learn that they are both cars that we have right here at our 139-07 Hillside Ave, Jamaica, NY showroom: the 2013 Honda Civic Sedan and Coupe.

Innovative Honda LaneWatch Makes VIP List

Good Housekeeping magazine has always had an eye for identifying groundbreaking technology and ideas.  Back in 1952, they banned smoking ads in the publication, 12 long years before the Surgeon General required warning labels on cigarette packs.  And in 1905, they helped educate Americans about natural, real food before the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act.  Today, the magazine carries on its reputation for finding the next great thing with its Very Innovative Products (VIP) Awards, and we're very proud to say that includes an amazing new Honda product.
