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. 

If you’re seeking a good SUV to buy, you needn’t look any further than the sophisticated and…

The Joplin community is important to the team at Roper Honda, and we love supporting our local restaurants and businesses. It doesn’t matter if we’re grabbing a slice of cheesecake at the Red Onion Café, trying on a new pair of shoes at Runaround, or satisfying our sweet tooth at Candy House Gourmet: we know spending in our community makes it stronger.

Unfortunately, we can’t satisfy our urge to buy local when it comes to a new vehicle since there aren’t any auto factories near Joplin. But did you know you can support American manufacturing by…

This holiday season will look unlike any other in recent history. But just because we’re social distancing doesn’t mean Christmastime has to be void of that traditional sense of glee! You and your family can still safely celebrate the holidays by visiting a drive-thru Christmas light show or display. In fact, you all deserve it.

So, grab some blankets, pour a thermos of hot chocolate, and hop in your Honda to check out our 6 favorite local Christmas events around Joplin.

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. P.” models seat up to 8 riders, offer enough room in each of their three rows, and have excellent safety ratings. But when you get alllll the way down to the nitty-gritty, you begin seeing some stark differences between the Pilot and Palisade.

You wake up in the morning after dressing like P. Diddy for Halloween. With a cup of coffee in hand, you draw back the shades and see that the unthinkable has happened: Your brand-new blue CR-V is covered in Silly String – goopy, gloppy, goofy string. You do a spit-take with your java, raise your fist in the air and shout, “Curse you kids!”

But is it just a playful Halloween prank, or can Silly String really damage your car, forcing you to shell out Benjamins for auto body repairs?

The simple answer is: Yes, dried Silly String has the potential…

Wondering whether you should shop online for a vehicle or head to the used car lot?

In this article, we’ll compare typical buying experiences at places like Carvana and auto dealerships.

What’s in a name? That which we call a Honda Odyssey by any other name would smell as sweet.

We don’t want to call Shakespeare a liar, but we’re calling him a liar. Names do matter; they incite excitement, they set bars, tones and expectations.

Sure, Honda could have called its Odyssey the “Honda Minivan,” but a nameplate of such simplicity doesn’t carry the same iconic weight. Because when you hear the word “Odyssey,” your adventure-yearning imagination begins working overtime, picturing backdrops of landscapes long forgotten and many a fork in the road.

Fourth of July fireworks won’t be like normal in 2020, that’s for sure. With COVID-19 forcing nearly all Independence Day events to be canceled across the country, you may want to forego your typical holiday tradition this year.

Wait – what are we saying? As Americans, it’s our obligation to celebrate July 4^th, even if it will look and feel a whole lot different. Here’s how to take part in summer’s first hurrah in the Joplin, MO, area.

Honda SUVs are well known for providing excellent cargo space - anywhere from 75 to 150 cubic feet of it, in fact, depending upon the model and trim. Thanks to Honda's power liftgate, loading and unloading cargo gets a whole lot easier as well. Available on new 2020 CR-V, Pilot, and Passport models, as well as the Odyssey minivan, the power tailgate provides convenience and flexibility. If you are trying to decide on a model with a power tailgate, here's what you need to know.
