The Dog Friendly equipment augments pet comfort by providing a soft floor surface for the dog's legs and paws along with a dedicated fan and a spill resistant water source. Convenience is improved for owners with an integrated ramp, easy to clean surfaces and a full suite of matching Dog Friendly paraphernalia.

Major components in the Honda Element include:
- a soft-sided cargo area car kennel made from seat belt-grade netting
- a cushioned pet bed in the cargo area with an elevated platform
- a 12V DC rear ventilation fan
- second-row seat covers with a dog pattern design which match the bed fabric
- an extendable ramp (stores under the pet bed platform)
- all-season rubber floor mats with a toy bone pattern
- a spill-resistant water bowl
- Dog Friendly exterior emblems

The ramp stores underneath the bed platform and can be conveniently accessed when the rear tailgate is down. The car kennel was designed and constructed by Takata Corporation, one of the world's leading automotive safety systems suppliers.

Over in Killarney
Many years ago,
Me Mither sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good ould Irish way,
And I'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.

Chorus:
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby.

Oft in dreams I wander
To that cot again,
I feel her arms a-huggin' me
As when she held me then.
And I hear her voice a -hummin'
To me as in days of yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.

Defending Against Auto Theft: Are You an Easy Target?

2009-09-16T01:33:00.000-07:00

Are you the proud owner of a Honda Accord or Civic? Would it surprise you to know that these cars are among some of the most often stolen vehicles in America? In the United States, a car is stolen on average every 26 seconds, making the odds that you will become a victim of this crime shockingly high. So, what can you do besides drive a less desirable vehicle or install the latest and greatest in anti-theft technology to deter thieves? Instead, try thinking like a thief to avoid the most obvious pitfalls that make your car an easy target.

According to police and professional auto theft experts, the following is a list of suggestions for keeping your car from being an easy target:

•Spare keys in a magnetic box or under your visor are so "yesterday." Don't leave spare keys in your car; instead, keep an extra key in your purse or wallet. Thieves, and virtually everyone else, already know where all the "hiding places" are. (After all, you DO watch TV don't you?)

•Never leave personal information in your car. Keep your registration and insurance information with you. At least if your car is stolen, you can rest easy knowing the thief doesn't know where you live. After all, if you have a "hot" car that's worth stealing, what else might you have at home that's of equal interest?

•Americans are so used to the sound of a car alarm going off that few heed its cry. Instead of using just a motion-sensitive car alarm, use one that has a pager that will notify you as soon as your alarm is activated. That way at least someone (YOU) will react to your cars cry for help.

•Don't tempt car thieves. Keep valuables out of plain sight. Take them with you or store them in the trunk. Even something as small as a handful of change in a cup holder or a laundry bag in the back seat can encourage a thief to take a closer look at your car.

•Don't just lock your steering wheel. Lock down your car's ability to start by using a starter disable switch and putting it in a place only you are aware of.

•Never leave your keys in the ignition, even for a few minutes. Besides taking a chance on accidentally locking yourself out of your car, car theft is a crime of opportunity, so don't make it easy for them to run off with yours.

•When parking late at night or in poorly trafficked areas, select well lit and easy to get to spots. At sporting events, water parks, airports, etc., opt for paying the extra few dollars for the monitored parking lot instead of using the free parking if you can afford to do so.

•Consider using a professional car alarm systems installer instead of a retail store installer. Unlike most retail chain stores, alarm experts can insure that no visible wires will make it easier for a thief to disable your alarm system.

•Don't advertise your alarm system brand by displaying decals all over your car. This just makes it easier for a knowledgeable thief to know what to do to disable it, and to be able to do so that much more quickly.

Granted, if a thief really wants your car, there's little you can do to avoid it. No amount of high tech security, locks, or fancy alarms will stop a true professional. However, auto theft is usually a crime of opportunity. While following the above guidelines won't make your car burglar proof, it will make a potential thief think twice and keep your car much safer while unattended.
Ed Napleton Honda is a full service parts and installation provider. If you're concerned about auto theft, stop by and speak to our service manager today about installing or upgrading your existing anti-theft systems. You'll be glad you did.

Vehicle Preventative Maintenance Tips: The Key to Car Value

2009-09-03T21:48:00.000-07:00

The moment you drive away from the sales lot, wear and tear begins and your car value starts to decline. It's a common assumption that because a car is brand new, it won't need maintenance for a while. Don't be taken in by this false assumption. Regular preventative maintenance, rather than repairing severe damage, is the key to keeping you on the road, upping your cars resale and trade in value, while keeping your cars warranty intact. Here are a few preventative maintenance tips that promise to help you with doing just that.

Checking fluids and the air filter - Regularly checking the various fluids such as the antifreeze fluid, transmission fluid and the brake fluid is important, as they might lose their ability over time to lubricate and to prevent rust. Checking the air filter regularly makes the engine last longer, as it can "breathe" freely. A clean air filter prevents dirt from clogging the engine.

The Coolant - Correct coolant levels prevent severe consequences. Ideally a 50-50 water- coolant mix is recommended, however extreme conditions may require a 70 coolant-30 water proportion.

Tires 'tire' too! - Often given the step-motherly treatment, tires tend to wear out just when you need your car the most. Checking inflation pressures is the least expensive car maintenance of all and goes a long way in increasing the tire's life, as well as giving you improved gas mileage. In general, tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles or so, to prevent uneven wear.

Get your car checked regularly - Follow the maintenance schedule as per your owner's manual. And do not neglect even a small problem, as it may have the potential to zoom up into a major catastrophe.

The bottom line is regular servicing. Not just any servicing, but first-class servicing, that keeps your new car in top shape for years to come. This is exactly what we at Ed Napleton Honda, St Peters, Missouri strive to provide. Hassle-free scheduling of service appointments and highly-experienced, well-trained personnel to care of your Honda - nothing but the best for Honda's in and around Missouri!

Honda Inspires Passion!

2009-08-24T22:08:00.000-07:00

Many awards and accolades have decorated Honda over the years, a company which we here at Napleton Honda are extremely proud to be associated with, but this particular recognition is among our most valued, as it has come from none other than you!

Honda Civic Hybrid and Honda Fit have been rated among the 'Cars that Inspire Passion' in this year's Annual Car Owner Satisfaction Survey, conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.

The Honda Civic was first introduced in 1972 , as a small, inexpensive hatchback . Since then, it has increased in size while continuing to offer excellent fuel economy. Honda fit is a 5-door sub-compact hatchback that is redesigned for 2009, and has created an interest among buyers as it is also sporty and fun to drive. While compact on the outside, the Honda Fit offers innovative packaging to provide exceptional space for passengers and cargo.

During this Annual Car Owner Satisfaction Survey, a vehicle is eligible for a rating only if at least 100 of its owners have sent in their responses. The ratings are determined by the percentage of owners who answered "definitely yes" to the question, "Considering all factors (price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment, etc.) would you get this car if you had it to do all over again?"

About 425,000 people participated in this year's survey, which is more than any of the previous years' Car Owner Satisfaction Survey's.

We at Napleton Honda congratulate Honda for bringing out such passion in its owners, and for earning such intense customer loyalty.

Performance, style, reliability...we all know thats what Honda is all about. But what is that single factor that makes the Honda Civic hybrid and the Honda Fit not just vehicles, but a passion? We are waiting to hear from you.

2010 Honda Insight Hybrid starts at $19,800 MSRP

2009-03-30T12:44:00.000-07:00

The all-new 2010 Honda Insight goes on-sale March 24 with a manufacturer's suggested retail price1 (MSRP) of $19,800 for the Insight LX, American Honda Motor *** Inc., announced today.
The distinctively styled, five-passenger, five-door dedicated hybrid vehicle is powered by an Integrated Motor Assist™ (IMA™) system comprised of a 1.3-liter i-VTEC® gasoline engine and a 10-kilowatt electric motor that together contribute to an EPA-estimated city/highway fuel economy rating of 40/43 miles per gallonn2. The Insight features the Ecological Drive Assist System (Eco Assist™), an innovation that can further enhance efficient vehicle operation while providing feedback related to individual driving styles.

"The all-new Honda Insight brings the cost of entry for hybrid technology within closer reach of an entirely new car-shopping audience," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president of American Honda. "In addition to making good environmental sense, hybrid technology is now entering a new era where it can also make financial sense for a broader range of customers."

A sleek exterior blends design elements from the original 2000 Insight's highly aerodynamic side profile with a front-end design similar to the hydrogen-powered FCX Clarity, a marquee environmental product for Honda. The interior offers a roomy passenger environment with a configurable rear seating and cargo area that benefits from 60/40 split fold-down seats.

Major features standard to the Insight LX include front, front-side and side-curtain airbags; an anti-lock braking system; a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT); Eco Assist; automatic climate control; tilt and telescope steering column; manual driver's seat height adjustment; power windows; a four-speaker AM/FM audio system with CD player and auxiliary audio input for external digital music players; and much more.

A more premium version of the Insight is also available. The Insight EX, with a MSRP of $21,300, adds to the Insight LX features with Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®); alloy wheels; cruise control; steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters; an upgraded audio system with six speakers; USB audio interface3; a center console with armrest and storage compartment; heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals; and much more. Exclusively available on the Insight EX, the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System4 (6.5-inch screen) with voice recognition provides routing and guidance to individual addresses and more than 7 million points of interest within the continental United States. Models equipped with the navigation system also include Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® for hands-free operation of compatible mobile telephones, along with related steering wheel-mounted controls for voice activation of navigation and hands-free telephone systems.

A 4-cylinder engine with intelligent variable valve timing and a DC brushless electric motor forms the foundation of the IMA hybrid system. The electric motor, positioned in-line between the engine and the transmission, adds power during acceleration and in certain cruising situations, and recaptures energy from the vehicle's forward momentum during braking (regenerative braking).

The Insight's IMA system has the capability to operate exclusively on electric power in certain low- to mid-speed cruising conditions. It can also provide cylinder deactivation during deceleration and an idle-stop feature when the vehicle is stationary. With a 10.6-gallon fuel tank, the Insight delivers an estimated maximum driving range exceeding 400 miles. Models for sale in California and states that have adopted the California Air Resources Board (CARB) ZEV standards receive an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) emissions rating.

The Insight introduces Eco Assist to help drivers achieve improved real-world fuel economy. Eco Assist is a feature designed to help drivers optimize fuel efficiency for their given set of driving conditions. Pressing the ECON button can further enhance the efficiency of multiple vehicle systems: throttle control, CVT operation, idle-stop duration, air conditioning and cruise-control operation (EX only). Eco Assist also provides feedback about driving style via a 3D-appearing background within the speedometer. The background changes colors from green to blue to reflect how efficiently or inefficiently the driver is accelerating or braking (green = efficient). The driver's results are continuously tracked as fuel-economy ratings are shown per drive cycle and on a lifetime basis in the form of plant-leaf graphics that appear in the Multi-Information Display (MID). Up to five leaves can be ‘earned' as the driver demonstrates a fuel-efficient driving style. A real-time score is shown in the Eco Guide MID screen.

Standard safety features on all Insights include dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags; front-side airbags with a passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); side-curtain airbag system; anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution (EBD); driver's and front-passenger's active head restraints and a front body designed to mitigate pedestrian injuries. All new Insights also feature Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which provides improved frontal-crash compatibility between vehicles of different size and ride height.

Honda is a leader in developing cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicle technologies, including the original Honda Insight, introduced as America's first mass-produced hybrid car in December 1999. Honda is also a leader in the development of advanced alternatives to gasoline, including the zero-emission, hydrogen-powered FCX Clarity fuel-cell car, the world's most advanced production fuel-cell automobile.

Honda Fit is Consumer Reports' highest-rated subcompact

2009-02-18T22:07:00.000-08:00

The Honda Fit Sport has received top spot among tested subcompact cars from the Consumer Reports. The all-new Honda Fit scored over its competitors including the Toyota Yaris and Nissan Versa in Consumer Reports' tests of six subcompacts and small sedans for the March issue. Last fall, the Fit rolled out with a slightly large body that provides more space. "The Fit seems spacious on the inside, with an interior that is unusually versatile and flexible and cargo capacity rivaling that of a small SUV," said David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports' Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Connecticut. "Lightness and agility make the Fit fun to drive and the powertrain is smooth and willing," he added.

The Fit is powerful and comfortable
Consumer Reports testers found the newly-redesigned Fit a practical and enjoyable car. It provides easy access to the cabin. It is well-equipped with a bevy of features and offers comfortable seating. The base Fit is packed with a 118-horsepower, 1.5 liter four-cylinder engine that ensures quick takeoffs. The five-speed automatic in the base model offers a more relaxed ride, while the Fit Sport's five-speed manual transmission is easy to shift and enhances its sportiness. Two trim levels of the Fit the base model with an automatic transmission and the manual upscale Sport model were tested by the Consumer Reports. Both these vehicles received "Very Good" overall road test scores. Two small sedans--the Suzuki SX4 and Nissan Versa also earned "Very Good" overall rating. The Fit and the SX4 are the only vehicles from March month's test group that are recommended by Consumer Reports. The recommendation is made on the basis of good performance in CR's tests. The vehicles must have performed at least adequately if crash-tested or included in a government rollover test and have minimum average predicted reliability based on Consumer Reports' Annual Car Reliability Survey.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recognized the Honda Ridgeline as a 2009 "Top Safety Pick." The award was based on several extensive tests, including a frontal-offset crash test, side crash test and rear-impact test. In addition, each winner was required to have electronic stability control available as either standard equipment or as an option. Active safety systems such as stability control can help drivers avoid collisions altogether. Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®), also known as electronic stability control, is standard equipment on the 2009 Honda Ridgeline.
