4.8 Star Review on DealerRater -

  • From the time I stepped out of my old car to the time I made it to the stairs, I was met with a smile. Mae is the best! She assisted me with the purchase of my new Honda 2012 right off the show room floor. Her knowledge of the cars was right on point she let me test drive and gave me time with each car I loved up until my final decision. Mae also worked with me in getting the best insurance and boy oh boy did I get a great rate! I was concerned about a few things when I walked in but when I sat with Mae my concerns were no longer an issue. She is really the best at what she does :) Then I met Brandi, she came over very pleasantly took me to my new car and showed me all the features, programmed my favorite radio stations and helped me get my things out of my old car. She is great and I was so excited when she called me a few days later to make sure I was loving my new ride. I just want to let everyone know I am so happy that I went to White Plains Honda because I was treated great and left smiling with my brand new 2012 Honda Accord. Anyone who is interested in great professional treatment, prices and knowledge of cars should visit Honda of White Plains your guaranteed to leave with a smile ;)
    Thanks to you all I formally introduced Fox Diamond to my family and friends!! You Rock!!

    A new happy & satisfied Honda owner :)

What do you think of the 2012 CR-V?

Ob-pu632_crv_e_20110924092935
Honda Motor Co. unveiled its 2012 CR-V concept at the Orange County International Auto Show in Anaheim, Calif. The concept is a thinly disguised version of the coming production CR-V compact sport-utility vehicle that is set to go on sale by the end of this year.

The new vehicle will be the fourth generation of the CR-V, which entered the U.S. market for the 1997 model year and has essentially defined the small-SUV segment ever since. The 2012 model has a more aggressive look compared with past CR-Vs and represents a bolder styling language the company plans to increasingly adopt.

“The 2012 CR-V concept strongly hints at the more dynamic and refined look of the upcoming model,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda. The new SUV will come with a more fuel-efficient engine and lower weight. Inside the new vehicle will be more spacious than previous versions.

The new CR-V will make its official debut at the Los Angeles auto show in November and is set to go on sale in the United States by the end of the year.

Congratulations to Sandy for being mentioned in this 5 star review!

The Million Mile Honda Accord

Million Mile Joe

Honda is calling him "Million Mile Joe." And even though we know calling attention to his achievement is a huge plug for Honda, AOL Autos is always happy to spotlight those careful, conscientious souls who stiff to put at least a million miles on a vehicle that most people would trade in after 150,000 at the most.

Joe LoCicero, from the cold climes of Norway, Maine, a place where summer pretty much happens on a Wednesday in July before turning to Autumn, is approaching one million miles this month on his 1990 Honda Accord.

How did he do it? What kind of oil does he use? How anal retentive is he about keeping maintenance records for his light blue Accord? How lucky is he? The Federal Reserve seems to be telling us that the economic malaise gripping the U.S. could take several more years to put behind us. That means Americans are going to have to put more money aside to make up for lack of growth in investments and housing values. Check out the gallery, and learn how you could save money over the next 21 years by driving the same vehicle

Three Positive Review on DealerRater -

  • As a first time buyer, I would definitely recommend this dealership because I had a great buying experience. I wasn't pressured to do anything and my sales consultant Joe was honest and fair.

    It was a real pleasure doing business with Joe and the people of White Plains Honda. I look forward to continuing our business relationship throughout the coming years. - JamesFenn 

 

  • Alex worked with me and spent time finding the right vehicle for the right price! He went above and beyond the normal service level to make certain that I knew exactly what he was doing and when. He also gave me frequent updates if there was a dealy for any reason. He put my comfort and ease at the top of his priority list. He was very busy that day but he never made me feel that I was being neglected at anytime. He didn't even take time to eat!

    My experience with the Finance department was equally seamless and the process went quickly without a hitch. - Hurd

 

  • I previously purchased a car from this dealership in 2009. When I decided to trade in and purchase a replacement vehicle, I knew I wanted to go back there. My previous sales representative (Eddie) is no longer there and I was randomly place with Sandy Vargas. I understand she is new to the sales team but you really wouldn't know it. She was knowledgeable, friendly, nice, helpful, and flexible. We had a very positive experience and I would absolutely return to see her and to the dealership. I couldn't be happier with my selection (2009 red crv).

    I should also mention that the person who handles the financing is truly wonderful as well - very friendly, helpful, and full of options! - siddiq

Honda Fit EV Concept Car Breaks Cover in Germany!

21988_fitev_2
EV Concept has 100-mile driving range

At the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, Honda unveiled the new Fit EV concept car. The new concept is a zero emissions vehicle that is powered completely by electricity. The Fit EV concept sounds a lot like the Nissan Leaf when you start looking at the specifics.

The EV will be powered by a lithium-ion battery pack and a coaxial electric motor. The concept has a 100-mile driving range and has top speed of 90 mph. The concept car has a five-seat arrangement and it uses a 3-mode electric drive system that is adapted from the Honda CR-Z hybrid.

The car has a information center that allows the owner to connect other car via a smartphone and check on charge state, start charging, and activate the AC system before they get into the car. The app also allows the owner to optimize charging for when the utility rates are at their lowest point.

A full charge on the battery will take under 12 hours with a normal 120V outlet. When plugged into a 240V outlet the charging can be finished in less than six hours.

The concept has a 100-mile driving range and is expected to hit the streets in 2012.

Thank you to the author of this review!

    Great rates and cars. Really greatly satisfied with the car. One thing I want to mentioned people are very nice only at the time of selling, but with white plain honda I would say these guys were very helpful even after the sales.

5 Star Review on DealerRater -

  • "We would certainly like to take the time to applaud the gentlemen for executing their expertise."CONGRATULATIONS FOR A JOB WELL DONE"! As you may be aware with the years experience you may have,every customer is different and other situations more challenging than others. We can certainly agree to that working as a medical assistant/medical manager and working in the Union/construction field is also a very much challenging atmosphere. However, the individuals listed above( and not excluding any individual who helped )embraced their specialty's,worked together as a team and excelled in their performance to meet our need. We, as Honda customers would be pleased to hear that Honda gives recognition to their staff,especially in today's world,where everyone is too busy, rushed, or noone takes the time. We close this extending our gratitude to Mr. Samoyedny, Mr. Camacho, and Mr. Anwar. Thank You and have a wonderful day." - Arias/ Guzman Family

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.

Keep up the great work, Zeeshan and Hamid!

5 Star Review On DealerRater -

"We went to look at a used Honda CRV for our daughter to take back to college this fall and ended up not only buying one for her but on the spot traded in our MDX for a terrific 2010 CRV for ourselves. We had such a positive experience I would recommend them to friends and family. In fact I have done so.

Working with Zeeshan was the best car buying experience we have ever had. From the first moment he greeted us things went smoothly and he worked hard to get us into two cars at prices we could afford.

Once we had chosen our cars it was over to the Financial Department where Hamid Anwar the Financial Manager completed our purchases efficiently without the usual stress that we have experienced at previous dealerships.

So, for us it was thee thumbs up all the way around." - bubba47

" We bought a new Honda Odyssey and visited multiple dealerships. White plains Honda worked within our budget, gave us the best price, offered us the best financing and found us the color and interior we wanted. Their service was excellent and they went out of their way to find our car and get it delivered as quickly as possible. Our color (Smokey Topaz with Truffle Interior) is more rare and harder to find; however, they managed to get it to us within a week. Keith Alexander did an excellent job and even followed up with us afterwards to check in. We were very pleased with our experience and would recommend them to anyone." - erikjodi
