2023 Honda CR-VHonda’s most popular SUV, the compact CR-V, is all-new for 2023, packing in some exciting enhancements for its 6th-generation. The longer and wider CR-V is served up in four trims, including the hybrid-based Sport and Sport Touring. They use a refined 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motors. Combined, that’s 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque. The EX and EX-L are internal combustion only: the Civic’s 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four but rated to 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to a CVT transmission, also updated with Step-Shift programming which we recently sampled in the new HR-V. It simulates gear changes at full throttle and helps lighten up some CVT woes. All-wheel drive is standard on the Sport Touring and available on every other grade, which come standard front-wheel drive. It’s pretty obvious when you look at the exterior of this new CR-V that it’s larger than the previous generation, but it’s not so obvious sitting in the driver’s seat. I feel like I’m just driving a compact crossover. Certainly doesn’t feel bigger. It’s still very comfortable, very smooth on the road. Wrapped up in a much bolder, chiseled new body, the CR-V is now 2.7-inches longer and 4/10ths of an inch wider. This leads to more room inside; better legroom and eight angles of recline in back. This new gen also boasts the most cargo space of any CR-V: 36.3 cubic-feet behind the rear seats, expandable to 76.5 cubic-feet thanks to the 60/40 folding second-row. Standard tech and convenience features in and around the Civic-inspired I.P. include Honda Sensing, a 7-inch driver interface screen and a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen with wired smartphone integration. The EX-L and Sport Touring add a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless phone integration and charging. Destined for three North American assembly plants, the 2023 Honda CR-V should reach consumers with ease starting in late summer; hybrid models will follow nearer year’s end. |

7 Safe Driving Tips During Deer Season | ||||||
1. Be cautious while driving during dusk or dawn Deer are most active during sunrise and sunset, especially during mating season, which is in full swing from October through December. Ensure that you and your passengers are wearing seat belts at all times, even in the back seat, just in case you have to make a sudden stop.2. Pay attention to deer crossings signs Be alert and observe your surroundings for any signs of wildlife while on the road. Deer are abundant in forested areas, but may wander into suburban neighborhoods in search of food, so it’s important to drive cautiously even if you’re no longer in a deer-crossing zone. 3. Stay alert if you spot a deer 4. Take precautions when driving at night 5. Don’t swerve to avoid hitting a deer 6. Get comprehensive coverage for your car 7. Report the deer-vehicle collision |

Thanksgiving Program | ||||||
If you would like to support this program, please send in your donation by November 1st. We are continuing our tradition of helping families celebrate with a holiday meal. This program began in 1980 with help to three families and has continued without interruption – even in 2020. Last November we helped 280 families. This year, thanks to the generosity of the community, we will expand the program to include individuals and couples. The recipients will again be given an Aldi’s gift card to allow them to choose their own food. The dollar amount they are given will be based on the household size.
This allows us time to determine how many clients we can include in the program. Please note “Holiday” on your check. You can also “adopt” a family and purchase what they need to make a holiday meal. Call our program hotline at 585-397-0604 if interested in this option. Volunteers are needed at the Drive-Thru pick up for recipients on Saturday, November 12th from 11 AM to 1 PM and Tuesday, November 15th from 2 to 4 PM. Please call 683-9674 and leave a message for the Volunteer Coordinator or email her at [email protected], if you can help. |
