Overview: This week we’re looking at the 2009 Honda Pilot which I haven’t tested for 5 model years. Surely you would expect the price to be higher with inflation but the downward force on price increase is the technology and robotic assembly and computer aided design (CAD) that simply gets better...

Overview:

This week I drove the 2004 Honda Civic 4-door sedan Hybrid. With gas going “artificially” up over $2.00 at this writing, car-buying attitudes will surely begin to change. The writing is on the wall and once again the oil companies are distracting us while they separate us from...

Overview: This week we’re looking at the new model for 2008 Honda Civic EX-L 4-door sedan. Now that’s what I’m talking about, as Richard would say. I’ve never leaned a lot to Honda but have most always given a good review. One particular Civic Hybrid comes to mind very early on....

This week I tested the 2004 Honda Element 5-door 2-WD EX. Ugly would be a good description for many, but when you compare it to the Mercedes Benz G-Class and especially the Toyota Scion xb, it turns out to be the best of the three. What I can’t...

This weeks test car is the Honda Odyssey EX Mini Van or Special Purpose class vehicle. Alaska Airlines north to Portland, Oregon where I picked up this very capable and convenient vehicle for the purpose intended. I would be carrying a few adults and a small child and...

Overview:

This week we’re being economical with the 2002 Honda Accord 4-door sedan Special Edition. Honda continues to be a solid and popular car for any age. It’s pretty basic but it does it all in the midsize segment of the market.

I think it’s a nice little...

Overview:

This week I had a chance to test the all new 2002 Honda CR-V that is growing up. Not only is it older since its introduction in 1997, and it’s weird how 1 inch longer and 1.3 inches wider and .3 inches taller make it feel so much...

Overview:

This week we’re looking at the very changed Honda Civic, from the one introduced in 1973. This is the 4-door sedan and relative to the original Honda economy model it has lots of space.

I gave this car a good workout from California’s coastal Salinas valley, up...
