We love to discuss safety rankings here on the Barber Honda blog.  Last month, we shared with you information about the 2013 Honda Civic doing exceptionally well in testing, and today, we'd like to fill you in on the latest safety technology projects to come from the automaker.

As your Honda dealer in the greater Valencia area, we're committed to sharing with you, our blog readers, what you need to know to make sure that the car you're driving keeps you and your family as safe as possible.  Customers buy new Honda models because they are routinely given the top safety awards in the industry, and the 2013 Civic sedan and coupe are no exception.

We're always raving about the popular Honda Civic here on the Barber Honda blog, and while its current edition is powerful, sporty, comfortable, efficient, and...well, everything you could want in a new sedan, we're sure that the next edition will be even more impressive.  One big reason for this would be the fact that it'll boast the automaker's new Earth Dream Engine Technology, which is an advanced system of technological advancements that maximizes both efficiency and performance in every new car in which they are installed.

If you're looking to buy or lease a new Honda in the greater Valencia area, then we think you should definitely take a look at the 2013 Accord.  Not only is it stylish and dependable, but it was just voted to the number one spot on KBB.com's '10 Best New Sedans Under $25,000' List.

As your Honda dealer serving the greater Valencia area, we would like to fill you in on all that the 2014 Honda Odyssey has to offer.  It has been called safe, efficient, stylish, and high-quality, and we're sure you'll find all of those attributes to be 100 percent accurate after a test drive in this great addition to our new model lineup.

The engines that you'll find under the hoods of our new Honda lineup are all incredibly powerful and efficient, whether they're that of a capable Ridgeline truck or a compact Civic sedan.  The engine is the core of the vehicle, and the automaker has expanded its manufacturing operations in China to increase production of this critical part.

As we all know, weather can be an unpredictable and dangerous beast, and when a tornado strikes, disaster is almost certain to follow.  Sadly, these violent columns of rotating air are not an uncommon sight in the Midwest, and when winds of up to 100 mph blow throw, there's not much that can be done at the time.

Are you looking for the right car to buy or lease in the Valencia area?  If so, then we'd like to recommend the CR-V.  It's proven to be incredibly popular here at Barber Honda year after year, and as proof of that, this vehicle topped the crossover sales charts for the nation this April.

It's an impressive member of our new Honda inventory, and we'll let the numbers speak for themselves:

• The CR-V sold 26,519 units in April alone
• This is an increase of nearly 3,000 units from 2012 numbers
• To date, the vehicle…

A lot of our customers from the greater Bakersfield and Valencia areas come into Barber Honda looking for a safe and practical vehicle that will fit their whole family and all of the sports equipment, science fair projects, and groceries that come with one, two, or more kids.  Beyond these qualities, most people are also looking for a car with entertainment options and a powerful engine, because there is no reason that a family vehicle should ever be boring for the driver or passengers.
