Honda Tallahassee 2009 Honda Accord Video by Proctor Honda
Today we are going show you a live video walk around of the new 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6 model sedan with the Navigation system.
As you may already know, the Honda Accord has always offered top quality and reliability in a fun-to-drive package. Along the way, the Accord has stood for innovation in terms of manufacturing, environmental performance, safety and even luxury. Although the first Accord was in 1976, it was in 1982 that the Accord would become the first Japanese-nameplate vehicle produced in the United States. The name Accord was actually derived from Honda's unremitting effort to achieve "accord" between people, society, and the automobile through quality and advanced technology. The first Accord introduced with a 1.6 liter engine and 68 horsepower was rather different than other traditional models in that time. However, the success seemed almost immediate. Now with the release of the 8th generation Accord, Honda has certainly seen a great track history, even making Car and Driver's 10Best 23 times!
The 2009 Honda Accord has come a long way from where it began 0ver 33 years ago. This live video walk around should help you understand just a little bit more about this incredible machine. For more information about the Accord complete line-up of models please visit our showroom at Proctor Honda located at 2373 W. Tennessee St. Tallahassee, FL 32304.

Honda "Tires for Life" and "Warranty for Life". How Does this work and is it true?
To help arm our valued community, we offer this guide to "Tires for Life" and "Warranty for Life" programs you may encounter. These are a series of questions that may help you learn more about "Tires for Life" or "Warranty for Life" programs that other dealers may offer.
- Will maintenance outside of the Honda dealership affect my "Tires for Life" warranty?
- Why would standard maintenance occurring outside the Honda dealership void my "Tires for Life" warranty?
- What does an oil change or other standard maintenance have to do with my tire warranty?
- If I were on a trip away from home and needed my oil changed, would that affect my tires for life warranty?
- Does the Honda dealer's maintenance schedule match the manufacturer's schedule?
- If my tire pressure is off by a pound or two (but within tire manufacturer specified operating conditions), will this void my "tires for life" warranty?
- Is it true that tires will not be replaced until 4/32" (1/8") of the tread remains?
- At what tire tread depth does your service department recommend installing new tires?
- Is "Warranty for Life" an American Honda product? If not, what company is it through?
