Best car of 2026

5 out of 5 starsby Vicky S on 07/24/2025

The new 2026 CRV EXL AWD is the best car I have driven in years. Smooth acceleration between gears, virtually no road or wind noise. The comfort of the seats is amazing in front and back, along with plenty of room between passenger and driver. I love the new heat and a/c vents, the power behind the fan is so powerful it cools and heats the car up very quickly. Special thank you to my dealer Jonas Severino. So knowledgeable, pleasant, courteous and professional thought out my whole purchase. He located a car with a specific color I was looking for in transit and it was delivered that night to the dealership. Went above and beyond to help me.
  • Vicky, we're so pleased our team provided you with a transparent and supportive buying experience. Thanks for giving a shout out to Sev for his superb assistance. We'd love to work with you again some day!

  • Honest and speedy service

    5 out of 5 starsby PaulaB on 04/28/2022

    I am really impressed with how quickly my car gets turned around when I make an appointment. They make such an effort to get me back to work quickly. I also feel confident that Joe is getting it fixed properly. Most car owners don’t know very much about their vehicles, but when they are told about an expensive repair, they are skeptical and often feel taken advantage of. I hear the stories and I’ve experienced it myself at other dealerships. I keep coming back to Lia because I feel like Joe is really making sure that I don’t feel like I made a mistake buying a Honda! He always explains the problem, and the options to fix it. And once it’s been fixed I don’t ever have to come back for the same problem because it was done right. Thank you Lia and thank you Joe!

  • Effective and efficient

    5 out of 5 starsby CH on 04/26/2022

    Excellent from start to finish. Up front information regarding diagnostic details, possible work involved and pricing. As my repair concerned a recall issue, as determined by diagnostic results, the charge was 0$. Problem solved! The service tech was super: friendly, knowledgeable and truthful. Thank you!

    5 out of 5 starsby Sylvia on 04/14/2022

    Ernie Walton was great! Friendly greeting when I arrived. He told me how long my service would take and escorted me to the waiting room. When a problem that is need to get fixed was discovered, he brought me to the shop to show me what the problem was and to talk about the solution.

  • Consistent great experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Mark R on 03/30/2022

    I was very impressed with the service I received at Lia Honda. They make it a very simple process, I dropped my car off with my service advisor Joe Calabucci, and discussed what service I was looking for. He did a great job of keeping me in the loop as the service progressed, and notified me when my car was ready. The whole process was easily completed in a morning. I appreciate all the people at Lia that made this a smooth experience.

  • Professional service

    5 out of 5 starsby Maryellen on 03/24/2022

    Ernest greeted me with a smile ..on a grey wet ..first morning appt.. It was just a maintenance appt but he checked for recalls just to make sure there wasn’t something else that should be done while I was there.. This is the first time I’ve purchased a Honda from Lia Honda but it’s not my first Honda..and when the time comes for another vehicle I’ll be back .. it’s the service after purchase that’s just as important..Thanks Ernest Walton you did a great job

  • Best ever!

    5 out of 5 starsby Luana on 03/21/2022

    Rob Dawes and Steve Smith are the best!! I leased a 2022 HR-V back in October 2021. And I love it! My battery somehow died a few months later and once AAA got it started and ran diagnostics, I called Rob and he told me to bring it right in and ask for Steve. Steve took care of the issue and 30 minutes later everything was as food as gold. Great team, Great service as always! Thanks!
