For new college graduates, it’s an economical, fuel-efficient car that won’t break the bank. For adults who despise their bosses, it’s a reprieve from the daily grind.

But careful, it’s still piping hot – that is to say the new 2022 Civic models are arriving at Honda dealers near you all summer long. Grab your fork and swing by our Honda dealership near Springfield for a…

Purchasing a new vehicle from a car dealer near you is one of the most important financial decisions of your life. But you already know that. The question you’re probably asking yourself right about now is this: “Should I buy or lease a vehicle?”

So, which one’s right for you? To help you decide, here are the main advantages and disadvantages of buying and leasing vehicles. 

One of the most popular and successful midsized SUVs on the market is the supremely capable Honda Passport. It consistently ranks as one of Honda’s perennial best-sellers because of its outstanding features and legendary Honda quality.

All-new last year, the Honda CR-V and its Hybrid model return, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, to continue their trend as the most popular SUV in Missouri. CR-V’s popularity is not surprising, either, as Honda’s compact SUV has long been recognized as one of the best, if not the best, crossovers in its class. At its core, the 2021 Honda CR-V just does everything really, really well. It sips fuel. It offers space by the cubic buttload. It keeps everyone safe.

Like many things, life comes down to choices. Mayo vs. Miracle Whip? Limes vs. lemons? Patchouli vs. an aroma that actually smells pleasant? This is certainly the case when discussing large SUVs like the new Honda Pilot and Hyundai Palisade. Both “H.
