Thank you to the author of this very kind and generous review for sharing their feedback! Great work Camila!
- I had a pleasant experience at Paragon. We had walked in there right after our appointment with another dealer across the street. We just wanted to look at the cars, but ended up driving out with a car at a good price. Camila was very friendly and made the car buying experience a good one for us. Overall we believe we got a good deal. I would definitely recommend them to a friend. --gotajetta
Thank you Artemiy for sharing this review of your experience!
- I know that a car buying experience may be different, but I had great time at Paragon, I bought a brand new Honda Odyssey. Sales personal was very helpful, we went through all my options and I got a new car, a low rate insurance for my new car, and now I can recommend Paragon Honda to my friends without any doubts. I'd like to thank Kevin Milan, Ariel Munoz, Amanda Destephano, and Joy Choudhury for theirs help. -Artemiy

Paragon Honda - (5) Star Review on Yelp
- I have to say my visit to service was the most pleasant one, from the moment I parked my car at the front entrance i was greeted and attended with pure professionalism. There is a girl waiting for you after you get out of the car and introduces you to service advisor, in my case Kevin was the one who supported me with my service needs from start to end. I was explained with details my charges and even helped with some promotions they had so i was impressed and very thankful with the whole service team. Unfortunately, i can't agreed with those who dont recommend Paragon Honda Service, I left the dealer with a smile and will come back everytime i need assistance with my car service needs. -Carol I.

Paragon Honda - (5) Star Review on Yelp
- My husband and I just bought a car from Paragon on Monday. From the salesman, to the finance manager and to the general manager... everyone was extremely helpful and willing to answer all of our questions. They even have a person show you all the different features of the car before driving off the lot! We were very pleased with the service and will definitely go back there again after our lease is up to buy another car from them!! -Elizabeth B.
Thank you Leo for sharing this review of your recent experience with us! We hope to see you again soon.
Paragon Honda - (5) Star Review on DealerRater
- I had a very pleasant experience during the most recent service for my 2009 Honda Fit.
Anthony was very personable, instantly got to the bottom of the problem and even went as far as to give me his personal cell phone number after discussing the repair with the Honda Representative. The problem was fixed in a reasonable time frame and after I picked up the car I even got a follow up call to check that everything was repaired to satisfaction. The other guys in the service department seemed to be equally concerned so that overall I must say that I was 100% satisfied with the effort.

Thank you to the authors of these reviews for sharing their feedback with us!
- Hi all! I recently leased my first car at Paragon Honda and couldn't be more pleased with the service and the vehicle itself. Our sales consultant Jose Aybar was very professional and made the experience go as smoothly as possible. All of the paperwork was completed in one day and I was able to drive my 2012 Accord home the same day as well. After my lease is up, I intend to return for another Accord or possibly a different model. -John M.
- I had the honor of working with the following people from Paragon Honda.
Kevin Milan sales associate, Amanda destephano delivery coordinator, Ariel Munoz Sales manager, Gary Lin Finance manager.After working with Hillside, Honda and almost being charged double what the car is worth, and the interest rate higher then I expected. I was refferred to Paragon Honda by a friend. Which was the best thing ever, Kevin and his crew made it possible to get the car I wanted and within the budget I want. Thanks Paragon -John A.

Honda Begins Deliveries of 2013 Fit EV
The delivery was marked by a ceremony at the Torrance City Hall, at which a key to the Fit EV was presented to Torrance Mayor Frank Scotto by Steve Center, vice president of the Environmental Business Development Office at American Honda.
"This is an exciting day as we take another important step toward Honda's comprehensive vision for reducing CO2 emissions while at the same time advancing our relationship with the city of Torrance," said Steve Center. "Honda has a long history with electric vehicles starting with the introduction of our first battery-electric car, the EV Plus, nearly 15 years ago. With Honda's extensive experience and the real-world feedback from the city of Torrance, we will be even more prepared for the further customer adoption of electric vehicles."
Over the past year, Honda and the city of Torrance have worked together to gather input from Torrance residents about potential recharging station locations and jointly participated in numerous public awareness events with a Fit EV test vehicle. Honda and the city will continue to further these initiatives while also studying local government fleet usage of an electrified vehicle. The city of Torrance will also receive a Honda plug-in hybrid for additional testing at a later date.
"Today, in our partnership with Honda and their continuing efforts in renewable technologies, we will be driving into a more sustainable future," said city of Torrance Mayor Frank Scotto.
Honda unveiled the 2013 Fit EV at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show and announced plans to begin leasing the 123 city-mile per charge (76 mile range combined adjusted city/highway)1 battery-electric commuter vehicle to its U.S. customers in the summer of 2012. Equipped with a 20 kWh lithium-ion battery and 92 kW coaxial electric motor, the Fit EV battery can be fully recharged in as little as 3 hours when connected to a 240-volt circuit.
Honda Electric Vehicle Demonstration Program
As part of the Honda Electric Vehicle Demonstration Program, Honda will test the Fit EV with Google Inc. and Stanford University, in addition to the City of Torrance, California. Each program participant will provide Honda with real-world feedback on the Fit EV. Individually, each participant will use the Fit EV to further initiatives such as research into human behavior and various usages like personal, fleet and car-sharing.
Honda Environmental Leadership
In addition to the Fit EV, Honda is a leader in the development of leading-edge technologies to improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Honda has led the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) rankings of overall vehicle environmental performance since 2000, and a Honda vehicle has topped the list of America's greenest vehicles, from the America Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), for eleven consecutive years.
In 2006, Honda became the first automaker to announce voluntary CO2 emissions reduction targets for its global fleet of automobile, powersports and power equipment products and its global network of manufacturing plants. Today, the company is striving for even greater reductions in CO2 emissions that contribute to global climate change, while also working to minimize waste, water use and the total environmental footprint of its operations worldwide.

Thank you to Ben for sharing this review of his experience! Great work team!
- I'd like to share my recent positive experience with Paragon Honda on 1/21/2012. I live in Indianapolis and decided to purchase a vehicle from Paragon because I couldn't find a better price elsewhere. Victor Diaz (Sales Manager) assured me that the price would be honored upon my arrival and that the sale would be quick and easy. One of the sales consultants (Gerard) greeted me at the airport with coffee/donuts and drove me back to the car lot. He understood that I was traveling 700+ miles and made the whole experience very comfortable! Some of the yelp reviews had me concerned that I would be hassled to finance when I was paying with cash...I can assure you that was not my experience. They completely understood if I wanted to finance elsewhere. The hassle free experience is what impressed me the most. After signing all the papers, the deliver coordinator (April) met with me to give me the grand tour of my new Honda Civic. She was very professional and made sure I was 100% happy before driving back to Indianapolis.Overall, a great experience. Thanks again to Gerard, April, and Victor! -Ben S.

Paragon Honda - (5) Star Review on Yelp
- Just bought a 2012 Accord from Paragon this weekend and very pleased with the service and experience.Arsalan Baig helped me out tremendously and really worked hard in getting me a great deal on a new car, as well as getting top $ for my old coup which I traded in.Nothing but great things to say about the guy. If your in the market for some new wheels definitely go to Paragon and ask for Arsalan. Also have nothing but positive things to say about Evelin Sanchez who helped
me immensely with equipping everything (I-pod, Bluetooth, etc.) and even delivering my new car to my front door this past Sunday so I wouldn't miss the Giants game.Paragon also has warm Otis Spunkmeyer cookies which they served the customers....Need I say more? -Jason H.

2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept previews redesign, hybrid returning
In true Honda fashion, we're once again presented with a "concept" car that's only a set of wheels and a de-Bedazzling away from being production-ready. What you're looking at here is the concept that previews the next-generation Accord that will be dropping later this year, ready to compete with a full slate of redesigned mid-size sedans.
Honda has once again taken a conservative approach to design, and while it's certainly handsome (except for those gaudy air intakes that flank both sides of the front fascia), we can't help but think that it already looks one or two generations old. (2009 Kia Optima, anyone?) We'll have to wait until we see the car in its production spec before making final judgments, but with sexy new mid-size offerings like the 2013 Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima, the Accord doesn't look to be gunning for shoppers who want a whole lot of style with their substance. Substance, though, it definitely has. The base engine is a new Earth Dreams 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder with direct injection, putting 181 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque to the ground via a continuously variable transmission. Honda will continue to offer a V6 in the Accord – a dying trend in this segment – measuring 3.5 liters, mated to either a manual or automatic transmission, both with six gears. What's really interesting, though, is that the 2013 model marks the return of the Accord Hybrid – a vehicle that died after the 2007 model year. This time, however, the Accord will use an all-new two-motor plug-in hybrid system with three drive modes – all-electric, gasoline-electric and "direct-drive" – with a 6-kWh lithium-ion battery and a 120-kilowatt electric motor mated to a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle inline four-cylinder engine. Honda says that the Accord Plug-In will have a pure electric range of 10-15 miles with a top speed of 62 miles per hour, and that recharging the battery will take less than four hours with a 120-volt charger, or less than 1.5 hours with a 240-volt setup. Not bad, Honda. Naturally, Honda will pack the 2013 Accord with all of its latest safety technologies, including lane departure warning, forward collision warning, blind-spot detection and a multi-angle rear-view camera. We expect to see the production car debut in the not-too-distant future (New York Auto Show, perhaps?) with the 2013 model officially hitting dealerships this fall. The Accord Plug-In will arrive a little later, in winter.

Thank you to Lizardo and Rita for taking the time to provide these great reviews! Outstanding work team!
- I recently purchased a new car from this dealership and I love it!!!! Not only am I extremely satisfied with my purchase, but the experience of buying my car as well! I made an appointment with the dealership and upon my arrival one of the managers, Ariel Munoz provided a very hospitable welcome! I was introduced to Kevin Milan, the Sales rep that was going to work with me. He was great! Kevin made sure I understood the advantages and disadvantages of financing Vs. leasing and made it easy for me to decide which option was best for me. After, I was able to test drive the car I was interested in and I was SOLD!! Both Ariel and Kevin did an amazing job at providing several financial options that worked for me and made the entire process very pleasant. This was the first car i was getting on my own, and so I was little nervous, but the Paragon staff definitely helped to keep me at ease! I recommend this dealership to everyone!! -Lizardo U.
- I purchased a new Honda recently. I never imagined that my experience would be as pleasant as it turned out to be. The team of people (Arsalan Baig, Gary Lin, and Evelyn Sanchez) I worked with was great. They gave me a wonderful service and answered all my questions. In result of that, I went home with a new car! -Rita B.

Paragon Honda - Two (5) Star Reviews on DealerRater
- MY NAME IS CARLOS. MY INTENTION WASN'T TO GO BUY A CAR THAT DAY I WENT TO PARAGON HONDA, BUT AS I WAS SEARCHING AROUND I CROSSED THRU STANLEY. NOTICING THAT I WAS INTERESTED IN THE ODYSSEY 2012 HE REALLY TOURED ME ABOUT THE CAR AND ALL THE ACCESSORIES AND FEATURES THE CAR HAS, WHAT IT CAN AND CANT DO. ONCE DONE I MADE MY DECISION AND IN THAT NIGHT I DECIDED TO PURCHASE MY FIRST HONDA CAR. STANLEY WAS SUCH A GREAT HELP AND HELPED ME THRU EVERY STEP FROM POINT A TO POINT C. I, PERSONALLY APPRECIATE THE TREATMENT I RECEIVED AND THE PATIENCE BECAUSE WE DID STAY THERE TILL 12 MIDNIGHT. ONCE AGAIN I WANT TO THANKS STANLEY AND ALL THE STAFF THAT HELPED ME THAT NIGHT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND STANLEY TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A GREAT SERVICE WHEN PURCHASING A CAR. -yurgiles25
- I just wanted to highly commend Sal and Joe for their excellent customer service. Most of the dealerships nowadays only care about their own personal interests (commisson) but this is not what I experienced with Paragon Honda. Sal and Joe worked closely with me for the whole nine yards. Sal and Joe were extremely helpful, very professional and very knowledgeable with their own respective craft. Sal and Joe were very friendly, personable and flexible. They made sure I was happy and satisfied with the car I bought. It was a no pressure buying experience. Sal and Joe were very patient in showing me different options available and very conscientious with my very tight budget. Overall, it was a very pleasant buying experience one can ever have. This is my third time I bought a car from this dealership and I will continue coming back to this dealership for as long as I get the same customer service level. Sal and Joe, thanks a lot for all your efforts in helping me get the car I wanted and most esp. the car I could afford. Both of you are the best and you're truly an asset to Paragon Honda. jeromehernando

John Staluppi, Automobile Dealer
Owner of Staluppi Auto Group headquartered in North Palm Beach, Fla., John Staluppi started out as a 16-year-old mechanic. He was motivated and talented and soon became an expert in cars. He went for the American dream and had the courage to do what he really loved – to be a part of the automotive industry in America.
Through practical experiences and creative marketing, Staluppi was able to take a risk on a venture called Honda – an unknown name at the time. Staluppi was, however, able to see its potential. Within a decade of hard work, he owned close to 20 dealerships and the Honda name took off in the United States. His commitment to Honda during this time made him an integral part of shaping the automotive industry.

Paragon Honda - (4.8) Star Review on DealerRater
- I'm from Westchester and I was picking my aunt up at the airport when my car overheated. The closest honda place was Paragon Honda so we towed the car there. Not only did they fix the problem but they found critical problems that Tarrytown Honda had missed when they had done my maintenance earlier that week. Additionally, they inadvertently fixed my CD/clock light which Tarrytown Honda had told me was un-fixable without buying a new radio system! Nick Ram was very nice and helpful to us. I think its safe to say the trip down to Queens from Westchester for maintenance may be totally worth it next time. A+ Paragon Honda, my 98 civic thanks you. -hondacivic98
Thank you to the author of this great review for sharing their feedback with us! Keep up the great work team!
-
have been dealing with Paragon Honda since 2008 and have found them to be the best Honda dealership for my needs. The trio of Richard Perez who sold me my cars, Ariel Munoz who is his manager and gave me the right prices and Richard's brother Angel Perez who did all the financing for my vehicles are the best that there are when it comes to selling cars. I would definitely recommend anyone anywhere to come on down to Paragon Honda to purchase anyone of their vehicles. I would never go to another dealership to buy a car unless it's Paragon Honda.
-Mr and Mrs Bulent M. Ermendi Jr.
