How to buy a vehicle

The Calgary Honda family understands that it can be intimidating, confusing and at times stressful to purchase a vehicle.

Coming into a dealership for the first time in what could be a few years can be a daunting experience. Rest assured; we work hard to ensure our clients know that we understand where they’re coming from.

 Isn’t this supposed to be a pleasurable experience? 

By having a clear agenda when you arrive, knowing the questions you would like answered, and the technology you would like explained can really reduce the stress of a showroom.

A sales executive is simply an advisor who needs to listen to you and deliver the right information to help you make a proper and comfortable decision. After all it’s going to be the car you choose, not the car you settle for.

A professional sales person is trained to advise, to listen and to make sure the car you buy suits every demand your lifestyle dictates.

Maybe you have always had a large SUV because of family. Things change, the kids are all gone and now the family is back to the way it was in the beginning - just you and your spouse. Do you really need a fuel thirsty large SUV again?  Could a compact or mid-size vehicle suit you and save you on gas, yet still give you that feeling of safety and control on the open road? 

You only have to ask and a detailed presentation and test drive may answer those questions, and eliminate any doubts and maybe open your eyes to your next perfect vehicle.

If you’re looking to have new technologies and features explained, come in with an open mind and have a look at the range of vehicles on display.

Remember there is no such thing as a stupid question and definitely nothing wrong with choosing a vehicle that you never thought you would drive before.

It’s also important to settle on one vehicle. Once you have explored our various products, pick the one that is right for you...

The Iconic CR-V 

 The 2012 CR-V has arrived at Calgary Honda, continuing to lead the crossover SUV segment that it helped pioneer. This has produced a stellar opporunity for customers looking to get behind the wheel of a CR-V at a price rarely seen.

You can receive upwards of $4,000 off all remaining in-stock 2011 Honda CR-V models- impressive savings on an impressive vehicle.*

The 2011 CR-V is an ideal daily commuter vehicle for taking on Calgary's unpredictable traffic. On the weekends the commuter also happens to be perfect for a trip to the mountains or even hauling the kids to hockey, dance class and whatever else mgiht come your way.

The CR-V is a very fuel efficient vehicle so those fluctuating gas prices won't be nearly as much of a factor.

The 2011 CR-V does not lack power either. While the 2010 model had 166 hp, the 2011 now comes equipped with 180 hp.

Give us a call, we would love to show you what this vehicle is capable of.

Stay Connected

Today’s drivers want more from their cars and Honda’s latest model lineup is working hard to deliver. More than ever before, drivers are using their vehicles as personal listening spaces, retreats, offices and high-tech travel centers.

Take a look at any Honda and you'll see numerous features to help keep you connected to your favorite places and people, while giving you plenty of listening options along the way.

Check out some of the connectivity features on today's Hondas that are working to make life at the wheel a little more enjoyable and convenient.

Connected to People: While on the move, forget to stay in touch with friends and family. A one-time Bluetooth pairing procedure introduces cellular phones to your Honda’s stereo system. After that is completed, any call can be handled with a simple button press and spoken commands.

Drivers no longer have to remove their eyes from the road or their hands from the wheel in order to place, accept or dismiss a call. The Honda Bluetooth system can support multiple phones, so passengers can also make use of the same Bluetooth functionality.

Need to call ahead to make a reservation, ask what’s for supper or tell someone you’re running late?

Just touch a button, say the name of the person you're trying to call and talk. The audio for your call will be played through the stereo system, while an integrated microphone picks up your voice. There’s no need to actually handle your cellular phone and that can save you the cost of an expensive ticket. Cell phone address book functionality is also supported to make calling even more convenient. 

Connected to your Music: Honda’s available satellite radio system puts a world of listening choices at a driver’s fingertips.

With dozens of stations categorized for news, sports, comedy and virtually every genre of music, satellite makes finding an ideal station a cinch.

Best of all, since the signal is beamed to your Honda from a satellite high above the earth, you’ll never drive out of range of that fantastic station you’ve discovered on a long trip.

Do you own an iPod or MP3 player? Built-in connectors in virtually every Honda allow for easy hookup to your favorite listening device and can be easily be controlled through the steering-wheel mounted audio controls. 

Some models even feature a full-color driver display screen for easy reference to yourmusic library. Built in USB ports make it easy to bring your home computer’s music library with you on the go, and of course, a good old-fashioned CD player is on board, too...  Click here to continue reading.
