2013 Honda Accord – Powertrains

There is so much to welcome with the all-new 2013 Honda Accord, it can be overwhelming.  Over the course of the next week or so, we at Image Honda are going to break it down to provide a better understanding for you.

For many, what still remains the most important aspect of a new vehicle is how it performs.  Bearing this in mind, the new Accord offers you your choice of two all-new powertrains. The first is the more powerful, with a 3.5-litre, 24 valve, SOHC i-VTEC V6 engine with 278 hp.  The other is a 2.4-litre, 16 valve, direct injection DOHC i-VTEC 4-Cylnder engine with an available 189hp.

What really makes these powertrains outstanding is that both feature the first North American application of the “Earth Dreams Technology” making the Accord the most fuel efficient Accord yet!    The available transmissions allow for enhanced acceleration, contributing to its high performance and making it fun to drive.

Why I Love Selling the Buick Verano

I never fail to receive impressed looks from customers when they lay their eyes on the attractive lines and stunning waterfall grille of the Buick Verano.  The nod of approval I get when they discover its impressive gas mileage (46mi/gal hwy, 29mi/gal city) and outstanding warranty (4 year/80,000km New Vehicle Limited Warranty and 5 year/160,000km Powertrain Warranty with 24/7 Roadside assistance) is nothing short of satisfying.  However, what customers are most pleased with is the affordable pricing of a well-equipped luxury sedan that starts at $24,190 and its attractive leasing programs.

From the moment my customer’s sink into the Verano’s very comfortable and supportive seats, to the time they push the ignition start button and hear the 2.4L, 4 cylinder 180 Horsepower engine purr like a kitten, they know instinctively that they are in a vehicle class above the rest.  The wide-eyed deer caught in the headlights look customers give when they scan the elegant and intuitive controls, lets you know that they are soaking up the delightful infotainment system and built-in navigation. 

 

Now, if you’ve driven the roads by Queenston on The Mountain, you know they are a little rough.  That being said, they do help to prove a point   – The Buick Verano handles wonderfully!  This car drives effortlessly over the bumps and pits without the need for wearing a kidney belt!  The road construction buzz of jackhammers and machinery on Rymal Road are almost completely tuned out with components like triple sealed doors and a headliner made with no fewer than 5 layers of acoustic insulation material.  By the time we are back at Queenston on the Mountain, I have one very impressed customer on my hands.

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm where shall we park this one, in the sold row?
