The New Honda Civic Parts
by Glady Reign
Realizing automobile engineering dreams since 1948, the Japanese automaker Honda has been offering multitudes of quality auto parts and services. One of the classic examples of the Japanese expertise in the world of automobile is the Honda Civic. This compact car not only boasts of quality engine performance but also brags about the Honda Civic parts and accessories. Literally starting small as it debuted as a two-door coupe, the Honda Civic line was later on improved to be a three-door hatchback model. It has continued to evolve into the top-of-the-line, present-day Honda Civic since it was introduced in the market in July of 1972. The earlier models were equipped with Honda Civic parts such as the basic AM radio, rudimentary heater, two-speed wipers, and painted steel rims with a chromed wheel nutcap. Back then, the chassis of those vehicles were still geared with Honda Civic parts like the 1169 cc engine and the 1170 cc engine. Base Honda Civic models at present, however, now boast of a more powerful 1.8-liter 16-valve engine that can produce a staggering 140-horsepower. This new vehicle is not just powerful; the fuel efficiency system of the Honda Civic makes it friendlier to the environment as well.
Through years and years of rigorous development, Honda Civic continues to be loved by Honda customers. It even managed to emerge as the second-longest running nameplate from a Japan-established automaker in Northern America. AS the clamor for the Honda Civic pushed the company to significantly improve the model, new components and Honda Civic parts accessories were designed to make the line perform even better. From the much simple version of the 1970s, Honda Civic evidently became more luxurious. Its current models are now equipped with top-of-the-line Honda Civic parts like the satellite-linked navigation, a six-speed manual transmission, power locks, and power windows.
The special features added in the eighth and latest generation of the Honda Civic are not only the things to watch for. The company also devised new Honda Civic parts accessories to the now curvy-shaped model. The leather steering-wheel cover, all-season floor mats, car cover, splash guards, and cargo net, are just among those new enhancements to look forward to. These premium Honda Civic parts accessories do not only promise a totally blissful driving experience but also promise a sleek and stylish car. Easily available among Honda parts and service outlets, they are sure to give delight and comfort to new and upgrading Honda users.

2007 Honda Accord EX V6 6-Speed Detailed

For this year model, there are no much changes; but still the 2007 Honda Accord EX V6 6-Speed is worth your time and money.The 2007 model has reduced weight, especially at the rear where the full-width taillight decorate the '03-'05 models. A center stop light mounted in the rear window gives way to separate LED taillights mounted at the rear edge of the trunk. Minor revisions are also in the grille and front bumper. One difference of the 6-Speed from other V6 models is its 17-inch alloy wheels.The EX trim is given an upscale specification by Accord's interior design, leather upholstery, and navigation system. Ambience is further improved by the 6-Speed's good soundproofing. The "carbon fiber-look" trim around the window of all 6-Speeds lifts on the doors and on the instrument panel and console give it a fitted sporty look.Interior details include interior door panels scooped to further improve elbow room. Easy to see in all lights are the bright, back-lit instruments. For perfect driving position, heated, power-adjustable seats and a steering wheel manually-adjustable for both tilt and reach are available. Additional light is provided by a tilt-and-slide glass sunroof. Storage pockets with bottle holders are on all doors. The navigation system controls audio and the climate system through the touch screen at the top of the center stack. The interface is simple and has voice control. Aside from a huge trunk, the rear seat also has plenty of room.Many useful interior storage spaces are found inside the car. A dual-layer console box/armrest with a power point in the lower section and a cord pass-through to the top for phone charging and a very useful storage box at the bottom of the center stack are just few of the examples.All Honda Accords have safety features like dual-stage front airbags, front side airbags with a passenger-side occupant detection system, side curtain airbags, daytime running lights, and antilock brakes, which, in V6 models, are four-wheel discs. Vehicle Stability Assist is standard on all V6 models. The Accord receives a five-star frontal impact rating from the U.S. Government and a ``Best Pick'' rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.Excellent ride and handling is provided by 17-inch alloy wheels and low-profile, 50-series tires last year. V6 Accords got firmer Honda shock so smooth sailing ride is provided by the vehicle. Changes were not massive, but they result in improved steering response, from the shorter tire sidewalls, and an added improvement in suspension control. Comfort is assured with a more European suspension tuning.Honda's VTEC variable valve timing system gives the Accord V6 good low- and mid-range power. But the engine still likes to rev from the 5000-rpm torque peak, where 211 lb-ft are produced. Peak horsepower (244) is at 6250 rpm. Shift action is quick and smooth, thus adds enjoyment. Unlike many expensive sports sedans, the Accord V6 uses regular unleaded gasoline, not premium. EPA fuel economy is 21mpg in city and 30 along the highway.

Camry Wins Edmunds' Comparison Test
by Anthony Fontanelle
Edmunds.com, the leading online source for auto information, recently tested three hybrid sedans to find out which tops the field. The comparison test was done between the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the Nissan Altima Hybrid, and the Saturn Aura Green Line, the latter being the hybrid version of the reigning North American Car of the Year.Each of the three hybrid sedans has each own positive and negative feedbacks but in the end, Edmunds judged the Camry Hybrid as the best of the lot. Normally, the test would have included the Accord Hybrid, but earlier this year, Honda announced that they will no longer produce Accord Hybrids. Second to the Camry Hybrid is the Altima Hybrid and number three on the ranking is the Saturn Aura Green Line.According to Edmunds, the criteria they have used to determine the winner of the comparison tests is based on the concerns of hybrid auto buyers. Fuel efficiency is the foremost concern. After all, hybrids are becoming more and more popular due to the increasing price of gasoline. Performance is also considered but only to a minor degree. The prices of the vehicles are also considered.The Camry, according to Edmunds, topped the list in terms of fuel efficiency. In a road test conducted by Edmunds, the Camry posted a combined highway and city gas mileage of 43.2 mpg. On city driving though, the Altima Hybrid is the leader. While the Camry returned 44.5 mpg on city driving, the Altima posted a 47.3 mpg. The Saturn Aura Green Line cannot come up with gas mileage rating even close to that of the Altima and Camry Hybrids.The reason for this is that Saturn's hybrid powertrain is a 'mild' hybrid. This means that while it has an electric motor which provides additional power to its internal combustion engine, it cannot power the car alone. In contrast, the Camry Hybrid's powertrain allows its electric motor and battery pack to power the sedan on low power operations like deceleration.Edmunds' Inside Line Senior Road Test Editor, Josh Jacquot, has this to say about the Camry: "It's the Camry's abundant features, comfortable ride and fuel-sipping efficiency that takes it to the top of the podium in this test. The simple fact about the Camry Hybrid is that, like the standard Camry, you get a lot of car for your money."Meanwhile, the Nissan Altima hybrid also pleased Edmunds with its roomy interior and power output. The Altima Hybrid is the first hybrid vehicle marketed by Nissan. Its powertrain technology is the same as that used in the Camry Hybrid and the popular Prius. Edmunds' consumer advice editor Philip Reed has this to say about the Altima Hybrid: "The Nissan Altima Hybrid has basically flown below the radar. If you drive it right the Altima can get 37 miles per gallon in urban driving. To achieve that in a car that is roomy and has a pleasing amount of power is amazing...the Altima was my top pick of the three hybrids."The Saturn Aura Green Line also impressed Edmunds with its redesigned interior. This is the product of the automaker's partnership with German automaker Opel. With its wide array of standard features and other Saturn accessories, the Aura Green Line is still the lowest priced of the three. In the end, consumers will have the last say as to whether they will buy a Camry Hybrid, an Altima Hybrid, or an Aura Green Line.
