Quality Dealer
We have also had the motto: 'Quality Vehicles, Quality Dealer, It’s that simple!'. Well it seems Honda Canada thinks the same:
Our dealership was one of only 8 dealers from Western Canada (and 2 in Metro Vancouver) that earned the prestigious Honda Quality Dealer (Q Dealer) award for 2011. Earning this award means our dealership met or exceeded important standards for achieving customer satisfaction set by Honda Canada Inc.
Quality dealers are, in effect, chosen by our customers, since the feedback that our customers provide helps determine who Honda’s Q Dealers are. Q Dealer status is based on our ability to exceed customer’s expectations in the areas of:
- The new Honda vehicle purchase experience
- Quality of work performed by our Service Department
- Above average customer satisfaction ratings
- Our customers' willingness to recommend us to friends & family
- Ability to meet other Honda Canada performance standards
The standards that Honda Canada Inc. has set are extremely high and difficult to achieve and we believe this award belongs to our staff for their hard work and dedication in providing service to our customers that is beyond their expectations.
We are proud of this distinction and look forward to providing you with an exceptional level of Quality Dealer service on your next visit to our dealership.

2011 Honda Accord SE Sedan Road Test Review

| Honda's Accord has grown larger and larger over the decades, and today's version is largest of all. (Photo: Simon Hill, Canadian Auto Press) |
The Accord started out as a compact model, and remained that way until the fifth generation was introduced as a mid-size model in the mid-1990s. When the current, eighth-generation Accord was introduced to North America back in 2008, it cracked even the mid-size ceiling and was classed as a full-size car. Honda typically refreshes its cars midway through each model run and the eighth-generation Accord is no exception, undergoing a minor facelift for 2011. True to form, the end result is a car that’s just a tiny bit bigger than the 2010 model.
The increased size comes courtesy

The changes, of course, aren’t limited to the front end. At the back, the deck lid has been refreshed with thin light bars running between the taillights and the license plate recess. This is a big improvement to my eyes, giving the rear end a much more finished look.
In addition to the improved front-end aerodynamics, Honda has also reduced the engine friction and tweaked the transmission gear ratios for 2011, which together contribute to across-the-board fuel economy improvements, with the automatic 4-cylinder models seeing improvements of seven percent in the city and 11 percent on the highway.

From a potential buyer’s point of view, perhaps the most significant change for 2011 is the replacement of the base LX trim with a “special edition” SE trim. Now, your idea of “special edition” and Honda’s idea of “special edition” might not be exactly the same — the SE is, after all, still the base car. But it now gets several new standard features compared to the outgoing LX trim. These include an 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar support, 16-inch alloy wheels instead of steel wheels, premium 270-watt audio with a subwoofer and XM satellite radio, Bluetooth

New features on other models include a USB audio interface on all Accord EX models and above, and a rearview camera on sedans equipped with the available Honda GPS navigation system. In the coupe world, the Accord EX-L V6 Coupe gets steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
I got to try out the new SE trim in the form of a Celestial Blue sedan with black cloth interior and an automatic transmission (it’s almost surprising in this segment, but the SE is also available with a 5-speed manual transmission). With all the goodies Honda added to the base car — and with all Accords getting the full array of safety equipment including ABS disc brakes, front, side and side curtain airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, vehicle stability assist and active front seat head restraints — it may be more helpful to explain what you don’t get on the SE (at a suggested retail price of $26,540 with the automatic transmission) compared to the next-higher EX trim (at a suggested retail price of $28,040): Mostly, what’s missing is the power moonroof, the active noise cancellation, the dual-zone automatic climate control (manually-controlled heating and air conditioning will have to suffice), rear console ventilation, exterior temperature indicator, USB connector, one inch of wheel size (you get 17-inch alloys with the EX) and 13 horsepower.

The 4-cylinder engine, like the handling, is competent and capable enough, but hardly awe-inspiring. I found it reasonably peppy off the line, and reasonably quick when really pushed, but without the active noise cancellation it tends to create a gruff growl that, while not unpleasant, doesn’t seem entirely in sync with the staid character of the car. On the other hand, the available 3.5L, 271-horsepower V6 has been criticized for being too smooth and powerful, so the four may well be

Inside, the Accord offers plenty of space to stretch out, which seems to be what people want, but personally I found it a bit like a one-size-too-big suit. It just didn’t quite fit my medium-size frame, especially in terms of the armrests on the doors, which are too far out, too low down and too far back, leaving my arms no option but to hang in space when my hands were on the wheel. But the seats are comfortable, there’s plenty of legroom and shoulder room for three passengers in the back, and the trunk is positively cavernous. For families needing to carry kids and gear to hockey practice, or for retirees wanting to take a couple of friends and their clubs

There’s no doubt than that the 2011 Accord continues to do what Accords having been doing so well for 30-plus years: It provides competent, safe and reliable family transportation in a well-built package, but not much in the way of driving excitement. The question becomes, is this still enough in a world filled with increasingly worthy (if very slightly smaller) competitors? The Toyota Camry has long been the Accord’s primary competitor, but there are plenty of others too — the Nissan Altima comes to mind, and there’s Hyundai’s Sonata, and both Ford and

Honda’s strategy, as embodied in the 2011 Accord, is to give the faithful what they’ve always wanted, plus a little bit more. Priced at $25,990 as tested, plus $1,550 in destination charges, and backed by a three-year/60,000km limited warranty and five-year/100,000km powertrain warranty, the 2011 Accord SE offers a strong reliability record, a bit more space than most of its direct competitors, and a few more features for the money than last year’s model. Who’s going to argue with that?
