We all know that brand new vehicles aren't the only option. In fact, used vehicles offer their own set of benefits for Ames drivers, including affordability and value retention. But how can you get some extra benefits from used vehicles, like extra reliability and warranty protection? By purchasing a Honda Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle.

What are the extra benefits you get when you drive a Honda CPO vehicle? First of all, in order to be eligible for certification, a used Honda vehicle must be less than six years old, with fewer than 80,000 miles.

When your family sedan or SUV just won't cut it any more, it's time to upgrade to a minivan. With ample seating and tons of cargo space, a minivan could be the right option for your family vacation, or for just getting your kids - and their gear - to practice. So go ahead and get your family into the 2017 Honda Odyssey, and hit the road in Ames.

The Odyssey can seat eight passengers, but also comes equipped with a variety of passenger and cargo configurations.

We're car people, so we love to hear that Ames drivers are doing their own repairs and maintenance. And we want to help you continue doing just that, so we have a question: when you pop the hood of your Honda, what parts are you using? Now we have some advice: if they're aftermarket parts, part ways with them and start using genuine Honda parts.

Why should you part ways with aftermarket parts? Simply, it all comes down to quality. You may have found some really cheap aftermarket parts from a random websites, but you'll soon find…

Safety should be everyone's top priority in Ames. Not just for your sake or that of your passengers, but for the sake of everyone on the roads. When safety is the name of the game, you only need to trust Honda. And we have the proof to back it up. The 2017 Honda CR-V has earned the Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The IIHS rightly takes its evaluations very seriously, and only the top vehicles earn their highest rating. The Honda CR-V is one of them.

The 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid and the 2017 Honda CR-V were recently honored by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), with both vehicles earning praise for how they affect our environment.

Associates at the Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, LLC (HMIN) in Greensburg, IN, initiated production of the all-new 2017 Honda CR-V on February 15, 2017 -- the first SUV to be built at the facility since the plant started production in 2008. The plant now builds the two best-selling Honda vehicles of 2016 – CR-V and Civic.

Honda has a reputation for giving back to the community and has a longstanding history of supporting humanitarian efforts. The Ride for Kids™ charity event is one such example. Through this annual event, Honda aims to support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF) by raising awareness and funding.

Since its introduction, the Honda HR-V has been well-received among crossover SUV customers, and the 2017-year model gives drivers more of what they’ve come to know and love.

Recently released, the 2017 HR-V comes in three available trim levels, each offer a variety of driver-focused features to make any commute a breeze.

To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the iconic 450cc, Honda announced plans to release the all-new CRF450R—a motorbike stated to be the most “powerful, best-handling Honda motocross machine ever.”

Maximizing performance and agility, the new CRF450R is already gaining recognition before its arrival. Coming with extreme designing and incredible technology, the 2017 CRF450R is here to set the standard for all other motocross machines available.

As a brand, Honda prides itself on continuously looking to the future. Rather than resting on its laurels, the automaker is always thinking about what more can be done, what new innovative undertaking they will embark on next, and how to make the world a better place not just for ourselves, but for the future generations, as well.

With so much focus on forward-thinking, sometimes we can forget to look back and see just how far we have come.
