No matter what you're looking to do with your next car, chances are it can be done in the 2012 Honda Fit. Though officially designated as a subcompact, the Honda Fit is efficient, versatile, safe, and stylish. In other words, it goes against the many conventions that have previously held back the segment it currently resides in.

How can we be so sure of this? Well, aside from seeing many happy drivers return from…

Honda has continued its winning streak this year by once again receiving the "Best Retained Value Award" for a non-luxury brand from Edmunds.com. This stands as a big testament to the value that Motor Werks Honda, serving Barrington, is always boasting about.

"Honda has long had a reputation for dependable used vehicles, and that is reflected in today's booming used car market," explains Joe Spina, director of remarketing at Edmunds.com. "Honda's…

If you're in the market for a stylish, reliable, and, most importantly, safe vehicle, then Motor Werks Honda recommends a new Honda. You were expecting us to say that? Of course you were. We are a Honda dealership, after all. But there is a reason why we're bringing up the issue of safety, and it's one that we think you'll appreciate hearing about.

Specifically, Honda is planning to implement rearview cameras…

If you're in the market for a solid family hauler, Motor Werks Honda thoroughly believes that there's no substitution for a good minivan. Of course, every automaker out there proclaims theirs to be the best one on the market, and who can blame them? That's why we turn to independent third parties to settle the matter once and for all.

And to settle the debate as to which is the best minivan…

Honda sure knows how to rack up those awards. The auto maker has received high honors for the Honda Accord over the past two decades. But that's only the beginning. A total of three new Honda models - Odyssey, CR-V and Civic, were named in a top 10 list: 10 Best Family Car by Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com.

The survey looked at comfort of vehicles, child safety and "friendliness," as well as consumer…

You know the Honda CR-V, right? One of the best selling crossover vehicles at Barrington, Illinois' Motor Werks Honda - as well as one of the longer running Honda cars. Well, in Europe, fans are getting a look at the upgraded CR-V prior to its launch at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.

This five-door model will come to the United States (most likely) in the summer, with European sales beginning sometime during the fall of 2012…

Iiummmnnnnhhh uuuuuhhhhgmm That's the sound of a new-car buyer breathing in that intoxicating 'new-car' smell so many consumers love. Operative word: intoxicating. While you might be using your olfactory system to enjoy the scent; that new-car smell is actually telling you something. And, you'd be wise to listen. The stronger the new-car smell: the louder the warning a car has high toxicity levels.

Alarming, right? Motor Werks Honda sure thinks so. Happily, we…

Yes, this is the billion dollar question. Why is there legislation waiting in the wings to be voted on, that could cost U.S. taxpayers this much money? Well, fuel-efficiency.

Representative Dan Lungren, a Republican, of California's 3rd Congressional District has proposed a bill that would award the first U.S. domestic car manufacturer that makes 60,000 mid-sized sedans that run completely on gas and get at least a whopping 100 miles to the gallon.

As the legislation reads, hybrids and plug-ins are invalid for the cash prize. Personally, I think this is a great opportunity for car manufacturers, the government, and the U.S.'s occupants in general. The ROI on this billion dollar investment could be incredible. Advancements of this kind of nature could propel U.S. automakers back to the top of the world car market. This could put our people back to work creating innovative products.

The Super Bowl serves not only as a platform for our nation's best football teams to throw down their mad punting, tackling, throwing, catching and kicking skills. The Super Bowl has become a creative advertising shootout, where brands compete in terms of wit, media savvy, artful cinematography, and the it factor.  And, now with the likes of You Tube, we don't even need to wait for game day to gauge just how entertaining…

We here at Motor Werks Honda understand that there are a number of factors that tend to prevent people from being able to keep up with their vehicle's recommended maintenance schedule. Whether it be school, work, or just life in general getting in the way, though, there should be no mistake made about how important it is to at least keep up with changing your oil. It really is the lifeblood of your car…
