The Honda Civic sparks excitement. Check this out.

Jojo, thank you for your kind words. We appreciate your recommendation.

"I highly recommend O\'Hare Honda. Staff is extremely efficient, helpful & polite. John Azpura & Derick Wojciechowski showed me every car, inside & out. The guys in service worked like crazy getting my phone to hook up to hands free. Customer service is not dead!"

"I just bought a used Odyssey from O'Hare Honda and couldn't have been happier with my experience. I worked with Tom Wojcik who runs the internet sales department and he was great. Make sure to ask for him if you go in there.
Overall, I was in and out of there in about 2 hours with my new purchase.

I am not sure why this place has so many poor reviews. I read most of them and they seem like people have never bought a car before! Here's a newsflash - these are car salesmen. They are trying to sell cars. Of course they want you to buy a car when you walk in the door!?!

My advice - do your homework and find a few cars that you are looking to buy at a couple different dealerships and keep that list with you. So, when you walk in the door, you know what you want and you know what your other options are if you don't like the car or the price."

Mr. Harvey, thank you for your five-star review and recommendation.

"I recently purchased a Beautiful Honda pilot touring edition from O'Hare Honda & I had a really good overall experience! I got the SUV I wanted loaded up at a very good price at a good deal! & It didn't take too long. Derrick W. my salesman & the used car & general, manager addressed any & all questions or concerns I had & took real good care of me. THEY WENT THE EXTRA MILE FOR ME & NOW I'M A HAPPY SATISFIED, LOYAL CUSTOMER. I have since referred my mother-in law & my co-workers to this dealership because I'm confident that they will be well taken care of too! I highly recommend O'Hare Honda. Thanks again, O'Hare. -Mr. H."

Honda Civic Named to About.com's Best New Cars of 2012 List

American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today that the 2012 Honda Civic has been named as one of About.com Cars' Best New Cars of 2012.

"Ranging from a gas-sipping hybrid to a kick-in-the-pants Si, the Civic lineup provides a variety of fun, fuel-efficient options to satisfy a wide range of customers," said Michael Accavitti, vice president of marketing operations, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "We are thrilled to receive this award that recognizes the many advantages of the Civic."

In describing the award-winning Civic, About.com's Aaron Gold called the 2012 Civic hands-down the most comprehensive compact car on the market. "You can get a sedan or a coupe; a high-fuel-efficiency version; a high-performance version; a leather-lined version; a hybrid version; even an alternative-fuel version that runs on clean natural gas," Gold said. "And whichever Civic you choose, you're virtually guaranteed years of trouble-free motoring."

The award from About.com adds to the 2012 Honda Civic's growing list of accolades that include being named Green Car of the Year (Civic Natural Gas), capturing Best Resale Value for a Compact Car by Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, and earning a 2011 IIHS Top Safety Pick.

Kevin and Job, thank you for once again providing excellent customer service

"I started the process of finding and purchasing my 2012 Honda Fit Sport, black, with a manual transmission, with internet salesman Kevin Rooney. This car was not available anywhere, so I knew I'd have to wait a month or two to have it delivered. I offered and got a fair price, and Kevin kept in touch with me about estimated delivery times. I never felt pressured or manipulated.

I went in to leave a deposit and met Job Alex, who was again friendly and efficient. I was kept up to date on the expected delivery date of the Fit-especially important because our 12-year-old Subaru was about to give up the transmission ghost. The tsunami in Japan was the reason for the initial delay, then the flooding situation, and it looked like it would be an additional month before we got our car.

Alex and his manager proactively worked out a trade with another dealer who had just gotten "our" car in, and we got it weeks ahead of the estimate.

The sales transaction was smooth and included no surprises. Job seemed genuinely excited for us when he showed us our new car, and it was PERFECT. Not a scratch, raindrop or speck of dust.

The only negative was in the financing office. I had made it clear from the start that we had a loan in place from our credit union, our credit was not great, and I wasn't interested in exploring dealer financing. They ran my credit anyway and kept us in the office longer than was necessary. PS-no one wants rustproofing!

Overall, I would heartily recommend O'Hare Honda. I have bought several new cars and this was far and away the most (only?) pleasant experience I've had. Very pleased to have chosen this dealer, and with our Fit. Thanks, Kevin and Job."

We would like to thank this great customer for their review and loyalty

"I have leased and owned 2 cars from O' Hare Honda in the last ten years and have been very pleased. I take my car there for all service needs. I feel their prices are comparable to other places. The staff makes me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend O'Hare Honda to everyone I know."

Debby, we would like to thank you for this excellent review

"We purchased our very first Honda Accord from O'Hare Honda. We are extremely pleased with the vehicle's performance as well as the staff's courteous and efficient service. We have not used the road side assistance yet, but we are very comfortable knowing it is available just in case! We believe that our great experience will lend itself to a long relationship with O'Hare Honda!"

David, we would like to thank you for your kind words and loyalty.

"I've been a satisfied customer since 2001. We currently have two Hondas and wouldn't take them anywhere else for service. Top notch, knowledgeable and responsive staff."

"We purchased our 2010 Honda Accord from O' ;Hare Honda and have been extremely pleased with the vehicle's performance as well the staff's courteous service. This was the first Honda that we ever purchased and we are sure that this will be a long term relationship! Although we have not had the opportunity to use the road side assistance program, it is nice to know that it is available when we do have the occasion to use it. Bill and Debby."

"We purchased a 2011 CR-V from O'Hare Honda, with good results. I worked with Job Alex and I would rate him as very hard working, honest, and a man of integrity. I did and still have a small issue with the dealership offer of free roadside assistance. Due to the quick action between Alex and myself, I never asked the requirements, since it was a sign on the dealership wall. I actually had (2) offers a little ($200) lower, but since this was for my wife I thought the roadside assistance was a good thing. After I had signed the papers, the accounting guy explained that I needed to return to the dealership for maintenance sooner than specified by Honda. Everything else was done in an excellent way."

"Great service and a hard working team that works for a great, reliable company of automobiles. The staff was fast and efficient and handled all the questions that we had thrown at them! I highly recommend O'Hare Honda."

"I have been a long tern Ohare Honda owner , Civics for my children and Accords for me primarily because of the the stellar service department headed by Paul Benedetto . Paul and Dave Strickland truly care about the customers needs and treat me as if my car (s) are their own . Time after time they have gone the extra mile to help make the service experience better in every way. I just leased my 6th Honda last week and it mainly was because of Paul and Dave's service ( the rest of the service team are amazing too) but I have worked with Paul and Dave the longest. I considered purchasing a lexus IS250 and the lease cost was only slightly higher than the new Accord but I went back to Honda because of the service team . I highly recommend you purchase your next Honda at Ohare Honda as they are the best in the business of taking care of their customers. Norma"

"Great service and price!"

"I have enjoyed the great customer service since 2000."

Honda Accord Concept gets bolder looks, better drivetrains

[[posterous-content:pid___0]] Honda Motor Co. today unveiled an Accord Coupe Concept that foreshadows the styling of the production car set to arrive this year against stiffening competition.

The concept, shown at the Detroit auto show, sports a creased beltline, muscular rear fender and aggressive lower fog lights. Powertrain improvements will be a key selling point for the 2013 Accord, Honda says.

After the Accord's 17 percent drop in U.S. sales last year, Honda is counting on the next Accord to take on freshly redesigned mid-sized rivals, including the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu.

The coupe will be the same size as the current model. But the sedan will have a smaller footprint than today's version, with a shorter wheelbase and lower curb weight for better handling and enhanced fuel economy.

Interior space will stay the same, Honda pledges.

The timing of the sedan's U.S. launch hasn't been released.

The Accord's U.S. sales decline last year, to 235,625, stemmed largely from supply shortages following Japan's March 11 earthquake.

That dropped it to fourth place in the segment, behind the Camry, Fusion and Altima. The Camry held onto its No. 1 spot despite dropping 6 percent to 308,510 units, also because of supply shortages after the earthquake.

Honda needs a strong showing from the Accord after its redesigned Civic small car received a chilly reception last year for what critics said was a cheap-looking interior.

American Honda's total U.S. sales fell 7 percent in a market that increased 10 percent.

New powertrains

The Accord will feature three new drivetrains.

The first will feature the initial U.S. use of the next-generation, direct-injection engine that Honda unveiled in late November at the Tokyo Motor Show. The so-called Earth Dreams engine, a 2.4-liter, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC four banger, will be combined with a new continuously variable transmission.

The engine delivers 181 hp and better fuel economy than the Accord's current base powerplant, an inline four. Honda did not release fuel-economy figures but said the engine aims to achieve class-leading mileage.

The second drivetrain will consist of a re-engineered 3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC V-6 engine paired with either a new six-speed automatic transmission or an existing six-speed manual. The automatic will achieve better fuel economy and horsepower than the outgoing model, Honda says.

The final variant is the first use of Honda's two-motor, plug-in hybrid system. In all-electric mode, the system's lithium ion battery and motor can power the car for up to 15 miles of city driving at speeds as high as 62 mph. The battery can be fully recharged in four hours using a 120-volt outlet or in 90 minutes with a 240-volt charger, Honda says.

For longer drives, the hybrid operates in gasoline-electric mode, drawing from a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, Atkinson-cycle engine combined with a CVT. For high-speed cruising, the car can run in gasoline-only mode with the engine directly powering the front wheels.

The Accord Plug-in Hybrid will go on sale in the winter of 2012, Honda says.

Honda canceled the previous Accord hybrid at the end of its 2007 model year.

Safety features

Honda says the next Accord also will sport several new safety features.

It will have Honda's first lane-departure warning system and first forward-crash warning technology. Both use cameras mounted behind the windshield to alert drivers of dangers.

It also will get Honda's first use of its LaneWatch blind spot display, which uses a camera mounted on the passenger mirror to keep tabs on that side of the car.

A multiangle rearview camera also will come standard.

Other new standard features in the next Accord:

• Bluetooth hands-free phone interface.

• Full color information display.

• An SMS texting function that reads messages aloud.

• iPhone-compatible Pandora Internet radio.

The 2011 Honda CR-Z is bursting with style. Did we also mention it travels 31 mpg? Stop in and check it out today!

We would like to thank this great customer for their kind words and loyalty.

"I purchased my first car ever in 2007 from Adolfo, it was a used Chevy. He shared excitement for me that I was getting my first car and took wonderful care of me and made sure the car was detailed. Last night I went in to get a brand new 2012 Honda Civic Ex and had the privilege of working with Adolfo again. John worked with me to make sure I could get what I wanted for what I could afford and Marc in finance helped me get through the paperwork as fast as possible. Once everything was done Adolfo showed me how to use everything in the car and made sure I understood all the stuff (I was rather confused with all the new settings). I'm very happy with my brand new car and I will remain a very loyal O'Hare customer."

Shahbaz, thank you for continuing to provide the very best in customer service

"I have been using the services of this dealer for a number of years, and by and large I have been satisfied.

My experience today, however, was particularly pleasant and satisfactory. My old car had developped a major problem and I thought I had better get a new one. Shahbaz approached me with a very friendly attitude and assisted me in locating the car that I wanted, for a price that was affordable for me. He continued to work with me for many hours--we took the car out for a test drive, he took pains to explain the details of the deal, and stayed with me until the job was done and I was able to drive away with the new car. He even helped me transfer not onley the license plates, but all the stuff I had collected in the old car, to the new car. He also spent some time to explain to me the details of the new features of the new car.

No doubt Shahbaz has a very promising future in whatever field he decides to enter."

"Shahbaz was great to work with. His friendly, non pushy sales approach made me feel very comfortable. He also demonstrated sufficient product knowledge to answer most of my questions.

Ohare Honda provided an excellent quote in my opinion on the car I purchased. They were very competitive."
