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!

  • I will buy my next car from Lia

    5 out of 5 starsby Bill Geraghty on 10/22/2020

    I was looking for a Honda Civic and went to a Honda dealer in Binghamton NY. They did not have what I was interested for the price I wanted. I found a Honda Civic online at Lia that I was interested in. I then Drove 84 miles Lia and met with Vincent Simeone. We looked at the car I wanted and Vincent was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the car. We compared the car I wanted to others and Vincent was very helpful answering all questions I had. The normal nightmare paperwork I have dealt with in the past was actually a dream this time. There were a couple minor scuffs on the lower bumper of the car and Vincent had them buffed and the car was polished and ready to go when I picked it up. Overall a great buying experience and the whole Lia team is great in my experience.
    • Bill, we appreciate you taking the time to write this great review. Painless and efficient visits are what we aim for, so it is pleasing to hear that Vincent took such great care of you. Enjoy your new vehicle and we look forward to seeing you in the future.

  • Oil change completed

    5 out of 5 starsby Maggie on 10/07/2020

    Wes Harrington was polite and professional and when he told me (showed them to me) that my air and cabin filters needed replacement I told him that my husband does that. He responded courteously and said that was fine and proceeded to get our paperwork completed. No pressure to have Lia replace them. I appreciated that...hate it when they try to talk you into something that we accomplish ourselves.
    • Maggie, thank you for your very kind review. We are pleased to hear that your vehicle service experience with Wes was so positive. We look forward to seeing you again when it is time for your next service.

  • Safe now thank you

    5 out of 5 starsby pamala on 09/20/2020

    frustrated with leaking tire getting worse and worse. The service tech, Larry Banker not only found a screw and a nail but also recognized a rust spot at the rim that was causing more of a leak. NO MORE LEAKS. So very pleased 😀
  • Joe is awesome

    5 out of 5 starsby James on 09/10/2020

    Joe is always helpful and honest. Doesn’t take advantage of me due to my lack of car knowledge
    • James, thank you for sharing your positive experience! We look forward to seeing you the next time your car needs service.

    5 out of 5 starsby Mike Abel on 08/01/2020

    My experience in buying a new 2020 CRV at Lia Honda was pleasant and easy due in large part to the professional and courteous manner of the salesman, Vincent Simeone.

  • Wayne B.

    5 out of 5 starsby Wayne Balthazard on 07/27/2020

    This is the 3rd or 4th auto I've purchased with Wayne. I have always worked with Wayne for one main reason, he has a more laid back, non pressuring way of negotiating a deal. This is what makes him the one person I want to buy a car from. Wayne is knowledgable about all aspects of his work which makes things move along smoothly and not take a lot of time to make the deal. Wayne stayed past closing time to help me move things from my old vehicle to the new. He is an employee who should be held up as an example to his peers.. you should give Wayne a raise in pay..
    • Thank you for your very kind review and loyalty. We are delighted that you have come back to us again and that your experiences with Wayne have been so exceptional!
