Each year, J.D. Power and Associates put out the 'U.S. Initial Quality Study,' which judges vehicles on consumer feedback, how the driver of the new car would rate it over the first 90 days of ownership, and whether or not they had any problems. Those who score well are obviously of the highest quality, and here at Rancho Santa Margarita Honda, we're happy to say that Honda placed fifth overall in the J.D. Power survey.

We'll admit here at Rancho Santa Margarita Honda that when you think of any new Honda vehicle, you probably think sedans before thinking a pickup truck. That just means you haven't fully experienced or heard about the many features on the 2012 Honda Ridgeline, so we're here to give you the rundown.

To all the moms out there in the market for a new vehicle Rancho Santa Margarita Honda has something you'll want to hear. Five new Honda vehicles made the list of Truecar.com's "10 Most Popular Cars for Moms." With fifty percent of the list being made up of Honda vehicles, you might want to take a closer look.

Not much argument needs to be made that new Honda vehicles are a smart and practical buy based on their quality safety, performance, and efficiency features. However, we here at Rancho Santa Margarita Honda believe proving vehicle superiority is a good thing, and The Car Connection agrees. Recently, the auto website matched the Honda Odyssey against the Nissan Quest in the "Head-to-Head Minivan Face-Off."

Here at Rancho Santa Margarita Honda we encourage those in the area who are in the market for a new vehicle to do all the research they possibly can before making a decision. Turning to consumer publications like Kelley Blue Book is good place to find a wealth of information, and if you take a look at some of the awards they hand out, you'll find Honda tanking right up there at the top.

Compressed natural gas (CNG) is quickly becoming a viable alternative fuel source over traditional gasoline. Among the benefits of CNG are lower fuel costs, fewer carbon emissions emitted, and its efficiency, meaning less trips to the pump. It's a big selling point on models like the Honda Civic Natural Gas sedan. However, unlike gas stations, you generally cannot find a natural gas pump that easily, so when the need to fill up comes around?

Here in the Rancho Santa Margarita and Irvine areas, we commonly associate the Honda Fit with a compact, fuel-efficient, value-driven vehicle. What you probably didn't know is that across the Pacific, in the land Down Under, the Honda hatchback is a star on the rally scene, racking up championships throughout Australia.

While Honda is certainly well known for reliability, fuel economy, and style, did you know that the Japanese automaker also sells seven different hybrid models in 50 global markets? Bet you didn't. And now, the company is preparing to mark a rather large milestone in the history of their lineup. That would be the sale of their 800,000^th vehicle.

We don't know about you, but we here at Rancho Santa Margarita…
