2012 Honda Civic Coupe EX Review

By Julieanne | Posted in Civic, Honda on Friday, January 27th, 2012 at 11:51 AM

Last week you may have read my blog on my experience with the 2012 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L (check it out here.) This week I was given the opportunity to test drive a 2012 Honda Civic Coupe EX. And I must say… I was equally satisfied this week as I was the last! I’m one lucky girl to work with this Jackson area Honda dealership.

The 2012 Civic Coupe was truly was perfect fit for me and my needs. First of all, I love the fact that this cute, black, sleek car gets great gas mileage. It gets 34 MPG and has an ECON assist button. I can just put it on ECON and it gives me quick and easy way to drive in the most frugal manner possible. The Civic engine goes into super-efficient mode to maximize my fuel efficiency. I can even keep an eye on the blue and green bars on either side of the speedometer. It’s the Honda Eco Assist feature and if I keep it in the green, my fuel will go farther. How cool is that?!

I really liked the interior of the 2012 Honda Civic Coupe EX. The seats were very comfortable and the dashboard features were something not only I personally enjoyed, but my passengers commented on and had positive things to say, as well. The brilliant, bright features on the dashboard screens were clear to read and helpful in my drive. The intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) shows me fuel economy, trip meter and other data. I can even add my own wallpaper and customize it!

The steering wheel-mounted controls made it easy for me to change what I wanted to see on the screen without taking my hands off the wheel. The Bluetooth® feature was also helpful when it came to keep my hands on the wheel. It was so convenient to receive and make calls without the worry of trying to drive and hold the phone to my ear. In addition, the USB Audio Interface let me listen to my favorite songs on my iPod. Like I said, I’m one lucky girl to have driven the 2012 Honda Civic Coupe EX from Patty Peck Honda!

As a 24-year-old, I was pleased to hear about their Honda financing options and the Honda Graduate Program. Both of these options allow me to afford my perfect Patty Peck Honda and allow me to get special, low rates. I really loved driving this 2012 Honda Civic Coupe — I enjoyed how smooth it rode and I’m happy that they let me test drive this Patty Peck Honda; they’re the best! If you’ve thought about shopping for a Honda, I recommend the 2012 Honda Civic Coupe EX at Patty Peck Honda.

My Experience with the 2012 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L

By Julieanne | Posted in Accord, Honda on Friday, January 20th, 2012 at 10:42 AM

2012 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L

As Patty Peck Honda’s Social Media Manager, I help manage Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, the blog site and more for this Jackson area Honda dealership. This week I was given an opportunity that I was very excited about — to test drive a 2012 Honda Accord Couple EX-L for one week. And I must say…Wow! This was opportunity that I was loving every minute of. This coupe was, hands-down, the best car I’ve ever driven. The second I put my hands behind the wheel, I realized it was undoubtedly the smoothest ride I’ve ever experienced and that it wasn’t going to be easy going back to my old vehicle.

Where I live, some of the streets have a few bumps here and there. While cruising in the 2012 Honda Accord Coupe, it was as if I was driving on the flattest streets in town. Not only was it smooth, it accelerated quickly which was great for merging onto the Interstate. This 4-cyliner, 5 speed automatic vehicle also gets GREAT gas mileage. My personal vehicle is an SUV, and I was absolutely loving this new idea: saving money on gasoline! This fuel-efficient Accord Coupe gets 33 highway MPG. I enjoy spending my money on shopping and other things, so keeping the gas station trips to a minimum was definitely a breath of fresh air. I was already feeling spoiled!

One of my favorite parts of driving the 2012 Accord Coupe EX-L was the interior and technology features. The interior had soft, tan leather seats and the other parts were black, giving it an even more sleek look. You never know what the weather is going to be like in January in Mississippi, and luckily the temperatures were in the upper 60s most days; I was able to use the sunroof some which was great. But probably my favorite part about this vehicle was the XM radio, Bluetooth® and USB Audio Interface. My 2004 SUV doesn’t have any of this so I took full advantage of it! I was able to hook up my iPod to the USB port or switch to XM radio if I wanted something a little different. The Bluetooth® was a blessing, as well. I didn’t have to worry about driving with only one hand; I felt safe and at ease using the Bluetooth® feature.

In regards to safety, Honda is known for providing safety in each and every vehicle, so I knew I was in good hands. The brakes were amazing; the standard 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes help the driver maintain control during hard braking. The 2012 Accord features crashworthy in-floor frame rails and front and side air bags to help reduce the likelihood of injuries in a collision.

As a 24-year-old, I was pleased to hear about their Honda financing options and the Honda Graduate Program. Both of these options allow me to afford my perfect Patty Peck Honda and allow me to get special, low rates. This cute, white 2012 Accord Coupe had it all: a beautiful exterior and interior, all the technology features I needed, and very fuel-efficient. It was perfect for me — I’m truly sad to return this Honda, but I enjoyed every minute of it and I thank Patty Peck Honda for giving me the opportunity to test drive it. This Jackson MS Honda dealership is surely one-a-kind. If you’ve thought about shopping for a Honda, I definitely recommend the 2012 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L at Patty Peck Honda.

Why is Patty Peck Honda So Generous in the Community?

By Julieanne | Posted in Community Involvement on Thursday, January 19th, 2012 at 9:34 PM

Patty Peck Honda isn’t your average car dealership. They go above and beyond when it comes to community involvement. Supporting the community has always been important for Patty Peck Honda, and their generosity is simply outstanding. This Jackson area car dealership and their employees are always giving back to the community.

For the past two years, Patty Peck Honda has been a proud sponsor of Marathon Makeover. This program is a 40-week, marathon-training, wellness program helping ordinary people do the extraordinary — train for and finish a marathon. Anyone is welcome to join this race whether you’re an advanced or beginner runner (or even a new or used car owner!) All registered participants were entered to win a 2010 Honda FIT from Patty Peck Honda. Last year, you may have seen the Patty Peck Prize Coupe zipping around the Jackson area. This bright, wrapped Honda CR-Z was all around town. Patty Peck Honda is looking forward to sponsoring Marathon Makeover in the Jackson, MS area again in 2012.

Patty Peck Honda Doo-Dah-Day Blue Car Giveaway

The Honda dealership also donated a new Honda Insight to Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital during the Zippity Doo Dah® festivities in March 2011. Patty Peck Honda wants to help raise money for Mississippi’s only children’s hospital, and joined in the fundraising efforts to raffle off a new Honda Insight at this family-friendly event. The World Famous Sweet Potato Queens® were great to work with, as well!

Last April, Patty Peck Honda donated a new 2011 Honda Civic to the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi. This raffle called “Car for a Cure” accepted donations and one lucky winner won a new Civic, courtesy of Patty Peck Honda. Car for a Cure helps save lives in Mississippi and Patty Peck Honda was exceptionally generous to donate such a large prize.

2012 Honda Accord Raffle

Christmas is the time of year for giving, and Patty Peck Honda gave away a big present! The Junior League of Jackson hosted the 31st Mistletoe Marketplace “Simply Sparkling” event, and Patty Peck Honda sponsored the 2012 Honda Accord Sedan Raffle. The Accord raffle tickets were just $20 each and supported over 30 community projects such as Blair E. Batson and the Mississippi Children’s Museum. They were pleased to be a part of this incredible annual community event and hope the money raised is continuing to change lives.

Patty Peck Honda gave another gift during the holidays; they were proud sponsor of Parents & Kids Magazine Christmas Fest, a gift from Patty Peck Honda. This family-friendly event welcomed families to walk around outdoors, see bright lights, hear some music and enjoy being together. Parents & Kids Magazine and Patty Peck Honda had the same vision: to create a Christmas experience. This gift to the community was simply about enjoying the Christmas spirit and spending quality time with family and friends.

The Mississippi Braves and Patty Peck Honda are big supporters of one another. In August 2011, the Mississippi Braves gave away a 2010 Patty Peck Honda Fit to a lucky MBraves fan. All fans that attended a 2011 MBraves game were able to fill out a form for a chance to win the Honda Fit; we hope the winner is enjoying her new Honda! The MBraves currently use a 2011 Honda Pilot and 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour for all of their needs such as global marketing and attending events throughout the Jackson Metro area. Patty Peck Honda is looking forward to partnering with the MBraves in the future.

Not only does Patty Peck give back to various organizations in the community, but also individuals in the community. Patty Peck Honda held a Facebook contest where fans uploaded a video of themselves showing their Honda and why it needed a makeover. One lucky winner won a full makeover of his Honda, courtesy of Patty Peck Honda! This exciting and fun contest brought members from all over the community to this event. The winner owned a 1994 Honda Civic that was in much need of help, and Patty Peck Honda graciously helped his Honda. Take a look at the before and after photos here.

Patty Peck Honda recently held a promotion on their Facebook called “All I Want for My Honda,” in which fans told them what they wanted for Christmas, and Santa Claus granted a few of those wishes! One of the gifts Santa and Patty Peck gave away was a set of tires to one of their customers — her 2006 Honda CR-V now has a new set of shoes, and she simply entered a fun giveaway on Facebook.

“Pack the Pickup” is WJTV’s annual food drive to benefit the Mississippi Food Network. The MFN’s vision is to eliminate poverty-related hunger and help feed needy families in the Jackson Metro area. Patty Peck Honda recently teamed up with WJTV to support “Pack the Pick Up” and provided Honda Ridgelines to transport donations. They helped spread the word about this organization and what they stand for.

Patty Peck Honda sponsored the Cure Sickle Cell Foundation and helped give a voice to sickle cell disease. September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month and last September, the foundation hosted their 5th Annual Sickle Cell Awareness Walk. By sponsoring this event, Patty Peck Honda supported efforts to help educate, advocate and raise awareness about this disease. All proceeds from the walk benefited Mississippi families that suffer from sickle cell disease. Patty Peck Honda encouraged others to walk a path toward a cure.

Patty Peck Honda has also supported the Special Olympics, Walk MS: National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Salvation Army, and Stewpot Community Services. This is not your ordinary car dealership — it’s amazing how generous they are and how strongly they support the community. If you’re looking for a new or used Honda in the Jackson, MS area, choose Patty Peck Honda. They are #1 in customer service and always take care of their customers!

Nine 2012 Honda Models Earn Top Safety Pick by IIHS

By Donna Ransdell | Posted in Accord, Civic, CR-V, Fit, Insight, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline on Thursday, January 19th, 2012 at 4:00 PM

Safety is important to Honda and it should be important to our Jackson area Honda shoppers as they decide on their next car. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gives nine Honda models, including new 2012 Honda CR-V, the highest possible safety rating available.

And the 2012 winners are…Honda Accord, Honda Civic, All New Honda CR-V, Honda Fit, Honda CR-Z Sport Hybrid, Honda Insight Hybrid, Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot and Honda Ridgeline.

How does a car become a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS? By earning the highest-possible score of GOOD in all four of its test rating categories: frontal offset, side impact, roof strength, and rear crash (seat based). These ratings cover the most common kinds of crashes.

“We’re proud to have achieved IIHS TOP SAFETY TOP rating for nine new 2012 Honda models and three 2012 Acura models, making American Honda among the best in the industry with twelve vehicles with top-class IIHS safety ratings under their new, more stringent ratings protocols,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “In fact, 91% of American Honda vehicles sold in the U.S. are TOP SAFETY PICKS. This accomplishment is part of a concerted effort we have made to reassert the Honda brand as a clear leader in this area.

Safety features you will find across the board on all Honda Cars, Trucks and SUVs are:

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS
Side curtain airbags (some vehicles even come equiped with a rollover sensor as well

All 2012 award winning Honda models recognized by the IIHS, with the exception of the Ridgeline, utilize the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure. ACE is an exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment.)

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an independent, nonprofit, scientific, and educational organization dedicated to reducing the losses — deaths, injuries, and property damage — from crashes on the nation’s highways.

Analysts warn of $4 per gallon gas prices this spring and close to $5 per gallon by summer

By Bob Aubrey | Posted in Accord, Civic, CR-V, Fit, Insight, News and Events on Thursday, January 19th, 2012 at 1:32 PM

Are you ready for $4 a gallon gasoline? Analysts say we could see record high prices near $5 per gallon Memorial Day weekend.

Tom Kloza, Chief oil analyst for the Oil Price Information Service expects the U.S. springtime average to be $4.05 for self serve regular. GasBuddy.com is predicting several U.S. cities will see record high prices this spring.

Consumers planning to buy fuel efficient cars this summer, may want to move their purchase forward and take advantage of the current Honda incentives on these vehicles, like the:

Honda Accord MPG: 23 City, 34 Hwy
Honda Civic MPG: 28 City, 39 Hwy
Honda Fit MPG: 28 City, 35 Hwy
Honda CR-V MPG: 23 City, 31 hwy
Honda Insight MPG: 41 City, 44 Hwy

Typically when fuel prices rise, demand for fuel efficient cars increases resulting in higher transaction prices and less incentives from the manufacturers. In years past we have witness the price of fuel efficient used cars increase as the price of oil climbs to higher than normal levels.

Mississippi car buyers can save money by planning their purchase early and take advantage of current Supply and incentives.
