Killeen Car Dealers http://www.killeendealers.org Cars For Sale Near Killeen - Service - Auto Parts Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:01:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 2012 Honda Civic and 2012 Honda CRZ Top Least Toxic Interior Ratings http://www.killeendealers.org/20120222-2012-honda-civic-and-2012-honda-crz-top-least-toxic-interior-ratings/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20120222-2012-honda-civic-and-2012-honda-crz-top-least-toxic-interior-ratings/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:01:30 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/?p=153 Howdy Honda. the leading Honda dealer in Austin, is excited to announce that based on recent testing, Honda ranks best in toxic interior rankings. On top of the Ecology Center’s list of vehicles with the least toxic interiors you will find two Honda models, the Honda Civic and the Honda CR-Z.

Throughout the study, researchers from the Ecology Center looked at more than 200, 2011 and 2012 vehicle models for various chemicals. Who knew that the “new car smell” that everyone has grown to love could actually be bad for you? The Ecology Center found that vehicle interior ratings are making a step in the right direction, but aren’t where they would like them to be.

Consider the fact that the “average American” spends roughly 1.5 hours in their car a day. Then consider the fact that, odds are, your vehicle  contains some capacity of brominated flame retardants, PVC, bromine, chlorine, lead and other heavy metals.  Lastly, consider that by making consistent contact with these toxic chemicals can lead to certain health problems including; development of allergies, birth defects in newborns, liver toxicity and cancer to name a few. Scary.

Research Director at the Ecology Center, Jeff Gearhart stated that, “these chemicals are not regulated, so car buyers have no way of knowing what dangers they face.”

By looking into vehicles that make an effort to reduce interior toxic chemicals, you will not only do yourself and your family a favor, you will reduce the risk of developing any of these health problems. If you are in Austin TX or around the Central Texas area, don’t overlook the Honda Civic and/or Honda CR-Z at Howdy Honda in Austin TX.

Inside the released details of the 2013 Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid http://www.killeendealers.org/20120201-inside-the-released-details-of-the-2013-honda-accord-plug-in-hybrid/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20120201-inside-the-released-details-of-the-2013-honda-accord-plug-in-hybrid/#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:59:28 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/?p=143 One of Honda’s staple models, the Honda Accord, is turning 36 this year and Honda will celebrate by bringing to market the all-new ninth generation Accord. At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) earlier in the year, Honda not only presented the 2013 Accord Coupe concept but also released details about their brand new 2013 Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid.

The 9 Gen 2013 redesign is part of Honda’s makeover of the Accord line. The new 2013 Accords will feature a stylish exterior revamp and a new, much more efficient engine and transmission.

We don’t know much details about the full line redesign yet, but we do know that the Accord Plug-In Hybrid will be available later this year, probably around winter. It will consist of a two-motor system powered by a 2.0-liter, i-VET inline four-cylinder, Atkinson cycle engine paired to a 120 kW electric motor powered by a 6kW lithium-ion battery. The powertrain will run through an electric Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

The Plug-In Hybrid Accord will be able to employ a direct-drive mode, where only the engine drives the front wheels, for more efficient cruising while at high speeds. The two-motor hybrid system maximizes efficiency and fuel economy by continuously moving through three modes: ell-electric, gasoline-electric, and direct-drive. Regarding recharging time for the battery, we are looking at less than four hours with a 120-volt outlet and less than an hour and a half for a 240-volt charger.

Additionally, the 2013 Accord plug-in will possess some of the best features out there and a few that we’re starting to see among other Honda vehicles. The Accord will use cameras mounted on the rear and side windows with a lane departure warning system, blind spot monitoring, and forward-crash warning technology to detect and warn of collisions. Furthermore, it will also come standard with Pandora integration, SMS text messaging system and Bluetooth connectivity.

We’ll the latest information and details about the new-gen Honda Accord line, so make sure to check back often.

Certified Used Honda Program near Killeen TX http://www.killeendealers.org/20120125-certified-used-honda-program-near-killeen-tx/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20120125-certified-used-honda-program-near-killeen-tx/#comments Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:05:28 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/?p=141 When looking to buy an used car, there is a lot to be said and questioned. If you are looking for a used car that will last more and perform better than an average used car for sale, the best thing to do is to look at certified cars like Certified Pre-Owned Hondas. At Howdy Honda, the leading used Honda dealership in Austin, Texas, most of the used Hondas available are Certified Hondas.

If you’re unfamiliar with Honda’s Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program here is a crash course on it. In order for any Honda vehicle to qualify it must be 6 years old or newer and the engine must have fewer than 80,000 miles on it. Once an used Honda qualifies, it undergoes a vigorous 150-point mechanical/aesthetic inspection from a Honda Certified Technician, making sure that the vehicle meets all requirements necessary to be in the program. Everything is looked at; from the alternator to the wheels, nothing goes unturned.

When the used Honda is certified, the person who purchases the Certified Honda is given a 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty based off the vehicle’s original in-service date. The buyer will also receive a 12 month/12,000-mile non-powertrain warranty from the original warranty’s expiration date. If that has already expired, Honda offers the same warranty from the Honda Certified Used Car purchase date, making it convenient for any buyer.

Additional bonuses that come with the Honda Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program include: $0 dollar deductible, free CARFAX report, Roadside Assistance and the warranty is transferable.

What do you have to lose with the peace of mind that comes from buying a Certified Pre-Owned Honda? But, the best part about buying a Certified Used Honda from Howdy Honda is that it comes with Howdy Honda’s exceptional Service Department that will make sure your used car is always running like new.

2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept Introduced http://www.killeendealers.org/20120118-2013-honda-accord-coupe-concept-introduced/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20120118-2013-honda-accord-coupe-concept-introduced/#comments Wed, 18 Jan 2012 18:11:30 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/?p=139 2013 Honda Accord Coupe

The leading Honda dealer in Austin TX, Howdy Honda, is very excited about all the buzz surrounding the new 2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept. The 2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept was revealed at the 2012 North American International Auto Show and has a lot of Honda fans enthusiastic with the new generation of the Honda Accord.

American Honda’s Executive VP of Sales, John Mendel, praised the new 2013 Accord Coupe Concept saying that, “Marking the 30th anniversary of U.S. production, this new ninth-generation Accord will raise the bar again through a tour de force of new Honda powertrain and safety technologies, geared to ensure that Honda and the Accord continue to lead in fuel economy, safety and fun-to-drive performance.”

As of recent, competitors of the Accord in their segment have been equipping more fuel efficient engines to meet evolving consumer preferences. The Honda Accord has done that too, but still has the 2.4L four-cylinder engine standard. It has some serious zip to it generating 181 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. For those who still want more power, don’t fret, the 2013 Accord will come with a 3.5L V6  option. Also of note, for the first time in Accord history, drivers will get to experience a six-speed manual transmission, which will aid in bolstering efficiency itself.

Another first for the Accord, that will be present for the sedan model only, is the option for a plug-in hybrid powertrain. This limited powertrain is features a 2.0L i-VTEC Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder and a 120 kW electric motor, which is fixed to a six kW/hr lithium-ion battery. Running on the Hybrid powertrain alone, the 2013 Accord Plug-In Hybrid can travel up to 10-15 miles  with a top speed of 62 miles per hour. Not bad for a back up powertrain! Expect more details to be released once we get closer to the release date later this year.

2012 Honda Fit is Consumer Reports Best New Car Value, again http://www.killeendealers.org/20120109-2012-honda-fit-is-consumer-reports-best-new-car-value-again/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20120109-2012-honda-fit-is-consumer-reports-best-new-car-value-again/#comments Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:11:36 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/?p=137 Early 2012, Consumer Reports, the independent product-testing organization, unveiled its list of best value cars. The 2012 Honda Fit kept its top position as the Best Value Small Car and Best New-Car Overall Value. The nationally recognized organization analyzed over 200 different 2012 vehicle models in 11 different vehicle segments.

Consumer Reports calculates value scores based on three key data points: performance, reliability and cost of ownership. Performance and reliability are determined on road-test scores and its own predicted-reliability. Additionally, they base the cost of ownership on the five-year cost of owning the vehicle, which predicts costs in depreciation, sales tax, maintenance/repair, fuel consumption, loan interests, and insurance. The better a car’s performance is on the road-test and reliability ratings, and the less it costs to own over time, the better the car’s value.

The automotive editor for Consumer Reports, Rik Paul says that “A low price doesn’t necessarily make a car a good value. A cheap vehicle can wind up costing you more money over time or can be disappointing down the road. We think real value is what you get for your money.”

Don’t take it from us, the 2012 Honda Fit is a great car with even better overall value. If you are in the market, just give Howdy Honda a call at 512-443-4300 or shoot us an email at howdy@howdyhonda.com.

Honda set for a big 2012 http://www.killeendealers.org/20120104-honda-set-for-a-big-2012/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20120104-honda-set-for-a-big-2012/#comments Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:49:34 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/?p=135 With the not-so-welcomed introduction of the re-designed 2012 Civic, you can be sure that Honda is be back strong in 2012. The car manufacturer is set to release an updated Civic model alongisde a brand-new 2013 Honda CR-V crossover and also a 2013 Honda Accord. You can expect a early releases in 2012 for all of these models except for the 2013 Accord which is set for a little later release.

American Honda Motor Co.’s CEO, Tetsuo Iwamura, predicts that 70 percent of 2012 total sales will consist of 2013 models. Iwamura believes that Honda’s big three (the Civic, Accord and CR-V) will also dominate the market.

On top of the re-designed vehicles, Honda also has a few other tricks up their sleeve. They plan on introducing six new engines and also three new continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), debuting with the 2013 Accord.

Honda aims to be the leader in Fuel Economy http://www.killeendealers.org/20111230-honda-aims-to-be-the-leader-in-fuel-economy/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20111230-honda-aims-to-be-the-leader-in-fuel-economy/#comments Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:21:28 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/?p=133 As a popular Honda dealer in Central Texas, we are excited about the strong initiatives Honda is undertaking. With the recent statement made by Honda Motor Company’s CEO, Takanobu Ito, it is no longer a surprise that Honda is going after fuel efficiency supremacy. Ito stated that Honda will consist of, “the No. 1 fuel economy in each [vehicle] category within the next three years.”

Some may call this a bold statement, but Ito just unveiled to the public several redesigned four & six-cylinder engines as well as a new family of CVT transmissions. Needless to say Honda is on their way to back up the claim. 

Consumers can expect these efficient engines to be infused in Honda vehicles starting at some point next year. All of the new efficiency technology is expected to be released by the end of 2013, making this efficiency push a pretty big overhaul. 

One of Honda’s Chief Engineers inside Research & Development, Keiji Ohtsu, stated that, “some vehicles now on the market could receive the new engines mid-cycle, before the vehicles receive full redesigns.” This doesn’t mean that all Honda vehicles will get an efficiency boost mid-cycle, as some will just go into their redesign grinding out with their standard engine saving Honda some bucks at the end of the day. 

With more Americans making fuel efficiency a priority in their next car purchase, Honda is set to make a real strong push to the top of the market. .

        Real Time AWD with Intellgent Control System

Isn’t this new CR-V just pure greatness? Of course it is!

Nine 2012 Honda Cars Are Top Safety Pick Award Winners http://www.killeendealers.org/20111219-nine-2012-honda-cars-are-top-safety-pick-award-winners/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20111219-nine-2012-honda-cars-are-top-safety-pick-award-winners/#comments Mon, 19 Dec 2011 16:37:23 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/20111219-nine-2012-honda-cars-are-top-safety-pick-award-winners/ Last week, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) unveiled the list of winners for their high-ranking Top Safety Pick award. Howdy Honda is proud to announce that nine new 2012 Honda models received such prestigious accolades.

IIHS’ Top Safety Pick award recognizes those cars that perform the best in protecting passengers that are involved in front, side, rear and rollover crashes. The Institute’s tests and ratings help shoppers make better decisions and evaluate vehicles that offer best-in-class crash protection.

The IIHS awarded the 2012 Civic and Odyssey earlier this year with a Top Safety Pick award; now the IIHS has come out with the complete list of 2012 model winners. In addition to the Civic and Odyssey, Honda earned the accolade for the 2012 Fit, CR-Z, CR-V, Insight, AccordPilot and Ridgeline. This demonstrates Honda’s commitment in designing strong safety features in their cars.

2012 Hondas win Best Resale Value Award http://www.killeendealers.org/20111123-2012-hondas-win-best-resale-value-award/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20111123-2012-hondas-win-best-resale-value-award/#comments Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:37:21 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/20111123-2012-hondas-win-best-resale-value-award/ Honda resale value austinKelley Blue Book, one of the leading online resources for car shoppers, announced the winners of their 2012 Best Resale Value Awards. The annual award recognizes current and upcoming vehicles that are expected to maintain a big portion of their original value after five years of ownership. And 2012 Honda owners earned some serious bragging rights because five Honda models received this great honor.

The distinction comes as no surprise to us at Howdy Honda; everyone knows the high resale value Honda’s retain due to their quality and reliability. But it’s good to be recognized and acknowledged by an independent third-party reviewer whose mission is to help consumers make an informed decision.

Many new car shoppers fail to realize the importance of a vehicle’s resale value during the purchase decision. A vehicle’s depreciation is a car owner’s primary expense during ownership, so KBB and Howdy Honda recommend shoppers to take into consideration the future retained value of a vehicle before making a commitment.

As KBB has let you know, Honda’s hold their resale value much better than other cars in the market. For this upcoming 2012 model year, KBB honored the following Honda cars with a Best Resale Value Award:


Honda Fit
(Subcompact Car Category)

Honda Civic (Compact Car Category)

Honda Odyssey (Van Category)

Honda Civic Hybrid (Hybrid Car Category)

Honda CR-V (Top 10 Best Resale Value Cars)

Owning an award-winning car is not out of your reach – on the contrary! Just browse around and take a look at the inventory available at Howdy Honda, give us a call at 512-443-4300, shoot us an email at howdy@howdyhonda.com or swing by the store. One of our professional consultants will answer the questions you may have and get you in that award-winning Honda. If you already own a Honda, trade-it in! Your used Honda is worth much more than most other vehicles on the road, and now is your time to take advantage of that equity.

Minivans are known for being able to seat anywhere from six to eight people, but the Honda Odyssey goes above and beyond. Several critics have gone on to rave about the Odyssey’s interior. Popular Mechanics said that, “the new Odyssey’s interior may not be particularly beautiful, but it’s astonishingly comfortable, very versatile and exceptionally high-quality. Swallowing up to eight people, there isn’t a bad seat in the Odyssey house; everyone gets at least one cup holder, and there’s a full range of entertainment options including a new wide drop-down video screen.”

From Howdy Honda Google Places:

 RB ‎ – Oct 28, 2011

All total, our family has purchased 8 cars through Howdy Honda and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Their service department sets the standard for excellence in customer care, quality of service, and customer communication. My husband owns a Prius and *always* has terrible experiences with every Toyota dealership in town. Every time he fills out a customer survey he tells them to go to Howdy Honda to see how customer service is really done! We also value the sales people most of whom have been there for at least the last 12 years we have lived in Austin, and the service manager has been there since before we moved here as well. That alone tells you they’re doing something right to have that kind of employee longevity. I recommend them every chance I get!

From Howdy Honda Yelp:

Ray C. , Houston, TX, 9/12/2011

“Came in to get my horn fixed and a car wash. I was beyond pleased on how well the dealership treated me. The staff was very professional and courteous. 20 beverage options to choose from along with krispy kremes helped passed the time as well. Overall, very well-kept facility and would definitely consider shopping for my next honda here.”

From Howdy Honda Edmunds:

balex3 on 9/9/11 5:02:05 PM

“We were very pleasantly surprised at the professionalsim of the staff at Howdy Honda, particularly our agent, Brad Plauche. Everyone was pleasant well informed and did not apply any pressure at all.

Presenting the redesigned 2012 Honda CR-V in Austin TX http://www.killeendealers.org/20111102-presenting-the-redesigned-2012-honda-cr-v-in-austin-tx/ http://www.killeendealers.org/20111102-presenting-the-redesigned-2012-honda-cr-v-in-austin-tx/#comments Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:11:30 +0000 http://www.killeendealers.org/20111102-presenting-the-redesigned-2012-honda-cr-v-in-austin-tx/ 2012 Honda CRV Austin TXThe staff at Howdy Honda, the premiere Honda dealer in Austin, is excited for the arrival of the new 2012 Honda CR-V and knows that consumers alike will also enjoy what new features it will bring to the table.  The recently redesigned CR-V is set to come out later this year and you can get yours at Howdy Honda.

Although the CR-V is slated for release in the next couple months, Honda has done a great job of keeping all the specifications under wraps for the redesigned model, as very little is known about the newly redesigned CR-V. What has been released though is that the 2012 Honda CR-V will have a redesigned exterior for the first time in awhile. It is also said that the CR-V will feature a more fuel-efficient engine although the exact details of the updated power-train are not known.  Last year’s, 2011, CR-V featured EPA-estimated ratings of 21 miles per gallon city, and 28 miles per gallon highway and with the upgraded efficiency in the upcoming model don’t be surprised to see efficiency be above 30 miles per gallon.

The Honda CR-V has always been a favorite of Honda enthusiasts, as well as with those that have families.  The CR-V is a very practical vehicle with respect to price, durability and size.  The redesigned 2012 model has been rumored to potentially feature more room for optional third row seating, increasing the maximum capacity to seven occupants.  Who knew that you could make a car more fuel efficient, all while making it bigger?

As an Austin car dealership, we are excited for the release of the 2012 Honda CR-V! With that being said, look no further than Howdy Honda to get, or reserve, your new CR-V today.  Schedule a test drive online or call us at 512-443-4300 to make an appointment.
