Two (5) Star Reviews on DealerRater -

  • " We had been to 3 other dealerships. We had talked to dealers that had made promises that they could not deliver once we got there. Not only did Paragon Honda deliver, they gave us a very fair price on the car we wanted. It was below the price we had been quoted at other dealerships. Plus, the environment in the dealership is clean, comfortable, and there is an air of professionalism that we did not find at the other locations. This is a full service dealership. We were there for a long time and Ariel Munoz even brought dinner for us while we worked on our financing! Buying a car is extremely stressful. Billy Sanchez made it easy and pain free and William in the finance department taught us so much about our credit. We feel we got a very fair rate on our loan. We highly recommend this dealership when buying a Honda!" - amycrossfield

Cleaner, greener 2012 Honda Insight

1956327455
Making its debut at the Frankfurt motor show next week will be the tweaked, nipped and tucked Honda Insight hybrid, with a new grille, a slimmer spoiler to allow a wider rear glass area, revised tailgate trim and a smaller rear wiper - all in the name of improved rear visibility.

Very practical, gentlemen.

There have also been detail updates in the cabin - but the big news is under the bonnet, where the 1339cc petrol engine and constantly variable transmission have been revised to reduce internal friction, and the aircon compressor updated with a new cold storage system.

It doesn't sound like a lot but that, together with the improved aerodynamics, has reduced CO2 emissions from the previous model's 108 grams per kilometre to a claimed 96, a 12.5 percent improvement.

The engine mapping has also been revised for smoother power delivery and the suspension tweaked for a more comfortable ride without compromising stability.

All of which goes to show that saving the world isn't about grand gestures - it's about constant, unrelenting, unglamorous attention to detail.

Nice one, Honda. Respect.
