Honda Mall of Georgia: The Fit stays in shape


The award-winning Honda Fit has returned for 2013 with an upgraded interior, new standard features and a new exterior color. Coming off a 2012 campaign that saw the Fit win the "16,000 Subcompact Shootout" and being named as a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS, the 2013 Fit looks to earn more awards like being named to Car and Driver magazine's "10Best Cars" list again.



The satisfaction begins with the 1.5-liter, i-VTEC four-cylinder engine, producing 117 horsepower at 6,600 rpm. The Fit's standard transmission is a five-speed manual with five-speed automatic transmission available. The Fit Sport models allow for manual gear shifting with the available automatic transmission through steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters. The EPA city/highway/combined fuel economy rating of the automatic transmission is 28/35/31 mpg. The Fit Sport automatic models are rated at 27/33/30 mpg while the manual Fit models are rated at 27/33/29 mpg.

Turning radius and small parking spaces are no worries for anyone driving the Fit, which has a turning diameter of 34.4 feet curb-to-curb, according to Honda.

At just over 13 feet long, the Fit may seem small on the outside but has enough inside room to comfortably seat five passengers in 90.8 cubic feet of passenger volume. With a 60/40 split rear Magic Seat, plenty of seating and cargo combinations are available. The seat can also fold flat into the floor, providing 57.3 cubic feet of rear cargo volume, Honda says.



Standard features include air condition, cruise control, remote entry, a 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system, a USB interface an auxiliary audio input jack, MP3/WMA playback capability, Radio Data System, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks and a security system, according to Honda.

The Fit was named a Top Safety Pick last year and this year standard safety equipment includes Vehicle Stability Assist, Advanced Compatibility Engineering, dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, front-side airbags with passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System and side curtain airbags.

The Fit Sport model takes the newest model over the top with new features and amenities ranging from fog lights to an underbody kit, rear roofline spoiler and chromed exhaust. The Fit Sport also has six speakers and illuminated steering-wheel mounted audio controls to power the 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system. Console ambient lighting, dark metallic dashboard components, chrome accents and upgraded seat fabric are all you need to get the party going in your Fit Sport. In addition, the Fit Sport includes a 6.5-inch screen, 16 GB of flash memory and the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition.

This car packs a punch for its size with the standard features you want inside and a new Midnight Plum Pearl paint outside. Come in to Honda Mall of Georgia today to check out the new Fit, starting at just $15,325!

Honda Mall of Georgia: HondaLink helps with hands free


Mobile devices have permeated nearly every aspect of our daily lives, and automakers have noticed. Wednesday, Honda introduced HondaLink, a new in-vehicle connectivity system that will debut on the 2013 Honda Accord this fall. The service will integrate cloud-based news, information and media using an audio-based system interface with Aha radio by Harman included.

"HondaLink will enable customers to put away their phone and still stay connected to the people, music and media they love," said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of product planning for American Honda, in a released statement. "By creating an intuitive and customizable user interface, HondaLink allows drivers to access digital content as easily as choosing a radio station."

The premise of the HondaLink system is to allow owners to preset content on their phone and then enjoy personalized content accessible via voice recognition, steering-wheel mounted controls and in-dash audio system controls once in the vehicle. A connected smartphone will serve as a conduit to cloud-based media, according to Honda, allowing the HondaLink to make a connected driving experience one-of-a-kind.

According to Honda, with the Aha service HondaLink users can listen to Facebook and Twitter audio newsfeeds, podcasts, location-based personalized restaurant listings from Yelp!, and internet music services from Slacker.

Honda has big plans for the HondaLink system, with updates and growing content throughout the life of the vehicle and system. Software updates for the smartphone used in the HondaLink system will keep the experience user-friendly, Honda says, with Pandora internet radio and voice-to-voice SMS text services with pre-programmed responses integrated into the system as well.

The video below provides an explanation for the HondaLink system.
