Honda has the right Fit for 2016

The new generation Honda Fit does not have any drastic changes from previous years, but that's fine with most fans of this popular hatchback.

Exterior features

Taking a look around the vehicle, the most obvious difference is the front end design. A redesigned grille with the Honda emblem in the center is very noticeable. Slight differences in the front bumper and roof spoiler are also evident. Headlights are constructed with new LED technology and the Fit will sport 16 inch alloy wheels. There are several new choices for exterior colors. The keyword here is "slight." All the changes are just geared to streamline the appearance without changing the basic look of the vehicle which is already one of the most popular in its class. The power train options include a 1.5 liter engine and a hybrid version which produces a respectable 150 horsepower.

Interior features

The inside of the 2016 model also uses minor modifications to upgrade the general appearance and improve comfort. New detailing and soft plastics are immediately noticeable in the cabin. The seats are high quality and electronics are up to date. A 7-inch touch screen display, Bluetooth and USB capability, climate control, and navigation system to provide you technology, comfort, and entertainment – the perfect Fit for every drive.

Honda has taken a great idea and made improvements to bring the Fit close to perfection. If you are in the market for a vehicle in this class, be sure to explore the various options available with the Honda Fitfor 2016 at the Olympia Auto Mall.

What is truly impressive about this compact crossover is its steady delivery on both luxury and convenience along with comfort.  The vehicle has an impressively strong turbo engine to go along with its lavish and stylish design.  It has excellent handling on the road and its comfort and quality levels definitely reveal that it is well worthy of bearing the Lincoln name that has long been synonymous with luxury and tastefulness.

Tech is the Highlight of the 2016 Jetta

For fans of Volkswagen's Jetta, 2016 is going to be an exciting year. Many long-rumored features will be arriving on the German automaker's compact car.

While most of the changes to the Jetta line come in the form of new or updated technological innovations, another big one is coming under the hood. The long-serving 2.0L naturally-aspirated engine has been retired from the Jetta line, and instead has been replaced by a 1.4L turbocharged one. Volkswagen estimates that the new engine will improve fuel economy by 15 percent over the outgoing 2.0L engine, while also improving power by 35 hp.

One of the more exciting new features in the 2016 Jetta is the arrival of the MIB II Infotainment system. With lower trim levels, it will come with a 5-inch touchscreen, while higher trims will get the 6.3-inch model. The system brings a higher level of smartphone integration to the Jetta. Models equipped with app-connect will be able to integrate Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink. The MIB II will make smartphone pairing easier then ever for Volkswagen owners.

There will also be several driver-assistance innovations coming to the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta. 

• Adaptive Cruise Control will use radar to maintain a set speed and distance from the vehicle in front of you.
• Forward Collision Warning/Autonomous Emergency Braking can warn drivers of impending front-end collisions, and engage the brakes to avoid it.

The New 2016 Ford F-150 Makes Dreams Come True for Truck Lovers

Truck lovers will feel as if their dreams have come true when they encounter the 2016 Ford F-150.  I would usually tend to disagree with such a statement, but this new F-150 leaves little to desire.

With its enhanced Sync 3 infotainment capabilities and more fuel efficient engine, the new F-150 is the epitome of a truck lover’s dream.  It matches all of its standard expectations and more for the performance of a pickup truck to right along with all of the bells and whistles that many truck enthusiasts have come to expect as the norm in lightweight/ light duty pickup trucks.

Sync 3 Infotainment System
2016 saw the MyFord system replaced with the Sync 3 infotainment system.  When Ford uses the word infotainment, the name basically combines the best of both worlds of technology usage: information and entertainment.  The system can allow you to play music or map out a route with the in-dash digital interface and any Blue Tooth enabled mobile device.

EcoBoost = Excellent and Efficient
Truck lovers want more bang for their buck, especially under the hood.  The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 packs a powerful punch.  At a slight upgrade under $800, the twin turbocharged engine delivers on those dreams.  Although Ford keeps a V-8 in the lineup, the turbo V-6 is well worth the upgrade from the base model V-6.  At 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway, the turbo V-6 is the most fuel efficient engine selection of the truck's various engine choices.

If you’re thinking about new truck, give 2016 Ford F-150 a try.  Test drive one today at the Olympia Auto Mall.
