Get Your Acura Ready for Winter Driving

You've just experienced the newness of spring, the beauty of summer, and the gorgeous colors of fall. But now comes the season most people dread - winter.

Acura Still Has Best Retained Value

As if there was any doubt, Edmunds.com has once again crowned Acura with the title of Best Retained Value. It's not for one model, either. It's for the brand as a whole. So if you don't drive an Acura right now, what's your reason?Edmunds gives the Best Retained Value award annually based on the forecasted five-year values of every mass-market vehicle from every manufacturer.

Don't Wait For Your Air Conditioning Repairs!

It's autumn. The leaves are turning picturesque yellows, oranges, and reds, and there's occasional morning frost.

It does perform cooling actions, but it also draws moisture out of the cabin to clear your Acura's windows. That becomes more important as the humidity rises in your vehicle.And all through the fall, winter, and spring, the humidity builds. Wet shoes, snow on your boots, and water vapor from your breath can make the windows fog up when you park as well as when you drive.
