The power is delivered through a five-speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission with sports mode and steering wheel paddle-shift controls. Honda’s flagship saloon is beautifully put together and feels appropriately comfortable the Legend is claimed to be one of the world’s most technically sophisticated cars and the features includes hi-tech four-wheel drive and the highly praised ‘Advanced Driver Assist System’ adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping system. These features helping stay you a set distance from the car in front and analysis the white lines so you stay in lane. The seats are adequately shaped and well situated, even as construct quality is outstanding.
The Legend feels buoyant, knowable, responsive, and well balanced. Generally, it acts like a much smaller mechanism, and thus diving into corners turn out to be amazing. If you like to drive fast, the advanced Super Handling All Wheel Drive can redirect power to the tyre that requirements it most. This car is an amazingly safe car and is comes up to the mark that we expect from Honda. The Legend’s handling skill is awesome. Read the rest of this entry »
2011 Honda CR-Z EX CVT
2011 Honda CR-Z EX CVT Review
Honda’s new CR-Z is the incestuous love child of the fun and versatile Fit hatchback and the frugal Insight hybrid. Sharing its basic underpinnings with those cars, the two-seat CR-Z mates a 113-hp, 1.5-liter four-cylinder to the Insight’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid system, which combines a nickel-metal hydride battery pack and a 13-hp electric motor. Total system output is 122 hp and 123 lb-ft when routed through the CR-Z’s optional CVT; manual-transmission cars get another 5 lb-ft.
Honda is pitching the CR-Z as a sort of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde “sporty hybrid.” Accordingly—well, and because we love three-pedal cars—our coverage of the

CR-Z has thus far focused on cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. Honda, however, expects the six-speed to account for about 25 percent of CR-Z sales. As loyal as we are to the clutch pedal, we had to strap our test gear to this CR-Z to see what sport remains in the car for the 75 percent of buyers expected to opt for the CVT.
No matter the transmission, though, the little coupe has a fun and daring shape that snags looks and starts conversations with even the most-car-blind bystanders. Inside, the starship Enterprise instrument cluster provides a wealth of information in a layout that is unique without being confusing and futuristic without being tacky.

2010 Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V is available in LX, EX and EX-L trim levels, each with offered all-wheel drive. I tested a front-wheel-drive EX and establish it to be very capable and easy to live with. One of the nice things you get with any small SUV is a good cargo area, and Honda’s is no exception, though it too comes with a caveat. The good thing of the cargo area is that it’s a good size with the second-row seats up. In addition,

Honda has one of the better-designed cargo shelves going: Its hard-plastic construction can put up to 20 pounds on top; most mesh shelves won’t take anything or you can take it out and lock it in place on the cargo floor. It’s great for me: I hate cargo shades/covers, and the first thing I do in any car is take the thing out and stow it in my apartment. With the CR-V, it just sat there, locked at the underneath of the cargo area.
The matter with the cargo area is that if you have to carry something large, the CR-V uses an older-style second-row seat. You have to fold the seatback down, and then flop the entire seat forward. You get a flat, fairly large cargo area when you do that, but it can be awkward if you’re in a hurry. Competitors like the Nissan Rogue, RAV4 and Subaru Forester Read the rest of this entry »
