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.

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.

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.

There are many reasons why our customers in the greater Bakersfield and Valencia areas buy cars from Barber Honda year after year, and while the technology, safety, and comfort options in our lineup of new  vehicles keeps people coming back, it's more because of the trust and reliability that fans of the Japanese brand know they will always find here at our showroom.

The vehicle experts here at Barber Honda have always recommended the Honda Fit to our budget-minded customers in the greater Valencia area.  We're not the only ones who think it's a high quality, cost conscious car that doesn't sacrifice on performance; U.S. News & World Report recently awarded the hatchback with two of its "Best Car for the Money" awards.
