It’s wintertime and the weather is not-so-fine. If you’ve checked out your vehicle lately, it’s probably covered in a heavy coat of salt, snow, and grime from traveling the winter roads of Annandale, Clinton, Somerville, NJ; and Easton, PA. Not only is this unattractive, it can cause damage to your vehicle! Clinton Honda has some helpful tips below to help you keep your vehicle in good shape this winter.

Winterize with Wax – Wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of extra layer to protect your vehicle against salt, snow, and dirt? Introducing our good friend, wax. One application of this will keep your vehicle protected during the harsh winter months. Even better, it’s incredibly affordable!

You Missed a Spot  – You’ve probably heard the phrase, “know your enemy.” This is especially true when it comes to car maintenance. Yes, we’re serious! Knowing the places where rust can start will help you avoid it. Road salt (the number one cause of rust) tends to accumulate behind the wheels, front grille, and quarter panel. Pay special attention to these areas while cleaning your vehicle.

Wash It Down – While it’s not really common practice, washing your vehicle during the winter is one of the most important things you can do for it. Whether you’re power washing, hand washing, or automatic car washing, make sure you’re doing it every other week. It will dramatically improve the exterior appearance of your vehicle in the long run.

Switch It Up – Your regular floor mats probably won’t fare well against all the snow, salt, and dirt you’ll be bringing into your vehicle. Try buying some custom fitted rubber mats to protect your floors. Also, if you want to leave the days of scraping your frozen windshield behind you, try draining your wiper fluid and replacing it with de-icing fluid.

If you’re looking for more ways to protect and care for your vehicle, keep up with the Clinton Honda blog!

Anyone from Annandale, Clinton, Somerville, NJ; or Easton, PA who drives a 2017 Honda Accord knows when it comes to sedans, it doesn’t get any better. Now, the 2017 Honda Accord Sport is being rewarded for its sophistication and supreme stand-outness with the 2017 Best New Sedan Award from Good Housekeeping Magazine!

Every year, the Good Housekeeping Institute teams up with Car and Driver to evaluate over 100 vehicles for their Best New Car Awards. Once they narrow down the list to 25, they put each vehicle through a grueling test including 1,200 miles on test tracks and open roads. Each vehicle is rated based on safety, handling, interior design and comfort, smoothness, value, and onboard technology.

In the end, the 2017 Honda Accord Sport was the obvious choice for 2017 Best New Sedan. Good Housekeeping noted it chose the Accord Sport due to its fuel efficiency, convenient steering wheel controls, roomy interior, and abundance of available advanced safety features such as the Honda Sensing™ suite.

When driving a smaller vehicle like a sedan, coupe or hatchback, it’s not uncommon to feel inadequate, or even unsafe next to larger trucks, SUVs, and crossovers. However, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, there is no real need for concern. They recently conducted a study to determine how often people die when in crashes with SUVs and Pickups. Researchers were happy to find that largely due to design changes in both larger and smaller vehicles, the two groups are more compatible on the road. Take a moment to check out the interview with the Chief Administrative Officer of the IIHS, Joe Nolan, to learn more details.

 

Then of course, take a trip into Clinton Honda for a test drive in any of our car, truck or SUV models, knowing you’ll be safe no matter which model you chose!
