When you say Honda, a wealth of different vehicles should run through your mind. I am talking about Honda motorcycles, Honda sport compacts, Honda mid-size luxury, Honda cross-over SUV’s, and of course the infamous Honda ATV’s. With so many choices, it is plain to see that Honda could be considered one-stop shopping for just about all of your toys and accessories that make adult playtime fun. And what could be more fun than scourging through a full line of Honda motorcycle parts and accessories for your next weekend excursion to the dunes to kick some dust around.
Honda cars are of course currently in the forefront of news worthiness these days with the onsite of so many new vehicles being introduced for 2007. So I think it fitting to open the discussion with today’s worldwide craze of the sport compact.
If small and compact is your idea of a great car, then the Honda Jazz and Honda Fit (Japanese version) is worth looking into. Now just because I say small does not necessarily mean that you won’t be able to fit a lot of items in this cleverly packages compact. With a unique system of folding seats, the Jazz has more useable space than the seemingly larger sized Honda Civic. Affordable and comfortable; the Jazz is packaged to sell!
Back on the line of the old stand-by options we of course have to hold homage to the Honda Accord and Honda Prelude that have managed to stay among the most visible vehicles on the streets today. Popularized by their affordability and reliability, these are staple vehicles for anyone who values practicality before flash. But on the same note, if flash sounds more to your tune, then step into the Honda S2000 and prepare yourself to be thrilled. Set within the class of the Mazda Miata and Porsche Boxster; the S2000 is capable of almost anything with the right combination of performance Honda parts. There is nothing quite like the sound of reaching an 8,200 RPM redline before shifting into second on a straight away!
Off the beaten path the Honda Element emerges as a rather surprisingly rugged vehicle ready for almost anything. Featuring a scratch resistant interior and water resistant seating and cargo area; the Element is clearly designed for the serious outdoor adventurer who does not have time to worry about the elements damaging their vehicle. Not necessarily meant for the beaten path; but the Element can none-the-less take a beating and still look great! The Honda HR-V (Hybrid Recreational Vehicle) is your vehicle of choice to get you where you need to go by using its real time hydraulically activated 4X4 capability. Unfortunately only shipped in Europe at the moment, the HR-V is a decent overall economy mini SUV.
With the extreme current competition involved with the mini SUV market, it takes something special to really stand out these days, and the Honda CRV just may have what it takes to get the job done. Designed more for street use, the CRV still gives a rather purposeful appearance and offers a roomy interior with a small enough exterior to easily maneuver through any parking garage and alleyway you will come across during your average day to day excursions. The lack of a V-6 version is about the biggest weakness found in the CRV lineup; but when you consider the price of gas, you have to seriously question yourself if that is really a weakness!
