Road Trips in Virginia

https://www.tedbrittchevrolet.com/

If you’re in the D.C. area you might be sick of the sight of the city and the suburbs. We have some good news for you, in case you weren’t already aware. Just a stone’s throw from you are some of the most amazing easy day trips and road adventures to be had. Let us give you some neat ideas so that next weekend you and the family can jump in your car, hit the road and see the sights.

 

1. George Washington Memorial Parkway to George Washington’s Mount Vernon

Up for a scenic drive? This national parkway makes “taking the scenic route” the best option available. Whatever piques your interest, whether it be history, heritage sites like Arlington National Cemetery or the Iwo Jima Memorial, or something more activity based like a visit to George Washington’s Distillery and Gristmill. You’ll find it here.

2. Just 14 miles for the perfect small-town experience in Clifton, VA

If it’s the city you need to get away from, then Clifton is the perfect escape, with its quaint, small-town charm. Get out of the car and walk the Bull Run Occoquan Trail, or just stay in the town and check out the historical buildings. You can even sample great local wines (but never drink and drive).

3. For a longer drive, head to Richmond, VA

The state’s historic but cool capital city, Richmond, has a lot to offer the whole family. Drive for about 80 minutes south of I-95 and you’ll make it there to enjoy good food, great beer (don’t drive and drive), more history as well as fantastic family outdoor activities like kayaking in the James River. Make it an overnight by parking up and staying in one of the city’s many hotels. Stroll along the river banks, eat well, soak up the atmosphere and just enjoy.

4. For a natural experience, head west to find national parks

Load up the snacks and ready the car games for the kids because in just over three hours you’ll all be in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest. To truly escape the city, one has to pursue nature at its more raw and exciting. This national forest boasts incredible views, stunning scenery and great days filled with fun in any season.

Don’t leave your car on the driveway, gas up, load up and head out! There’s a treasure trove of fun to be had right on your doorstep!

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Back in 2010, Jeep unveiled a new Grand Cherokee model to the world. Now, it’s nine years later and the country (and the world) is continuing its love affair with this iconic machine. It remains the more rugged option among crossover vehicles, which can just as easily feel at home in off-road environments as it can on-road. In this article, we’re exploring all the best features of the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

 

First, let’s get the lowdown on what’s new.

Truthfully, there aren’t any major changes for 2020. The Trackhawk now comes with optional 20-inch titanium-finish wheels and a black/grey leather interior. There are also a standard sunroof, bi-xenon headlamps and LED foglamps for the Limited models, the latest addition to the lineup which just joined in 2019. The Overland has optional dark sienna and black interiors.

Next, let’s go inside

When you’re buying a bigger car, it’s often because you need the space. The 2020 Grand Cherokee certainly competes with others in its category like the Chevy Blazer or Nissan Murano, offering 36.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats, and around 68 cubic feet if you fold the second-row seats. It’s a good choice for any family looking for a week-long road trip somewhere. The Uconnect infotainment system is held within an upgraded 8.4-inch touchscreen display, and performs well with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

All Grand Cherokees get the blond-spot and rear cross-traffic warning systems. The Active Safety Group package includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane-keep assist and parallel and perpendicular parking assist. It possesses a strong safety recommendation of 4 stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Finally, how does it go?

The standard engine comes with a 3.6L V6 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a powertrain of 295hp with 260lb-ft of torque. Head up to the Limited trim, however, and you’ll get a 5.7L Hemi V8 engine as an optional upgrade, bringing it up to 360hp and 390lb-ft torque. You’ll get 14mpg city and 22mpg highway with the V8 option. The V6 offers better mileage at 18mpg city and 26mpg highway. Note that a 4WD option will reduce those ratings by about 1mpg.

Perhaps the best reason to consider the Grand Cherokee, besides its good looks, power, features and trim options, is simply to look at its strength and versatility. Whether you need it for towing, a family car, an off-road companion --- the Grand Cherokee fits the bill. Visit your dealership today to learn more.

5 Reasons to Buy A Honda

There are a lot of reasons that Honda has done so well in the United States market. No, it’s not an American brand, but it brings the American consumer the very best quality and reliability, and that’s what the US driver deserves! In this article, we want to explore all the best reasons to buy a Honda.

 

1. Made in the USA

It may be a Japanese marque, but Hondas are made right here in America. The company operates 12 facilities across the country, including its newest facility in Ohio, which opened in 2016. Now you get to have your cake and eat it too, buying a top-quality overseas brand, but made Stateside.

2. It might be the most durable car you ever drive

Whether you’re buying a Sedan, SUV or other model on offer, Hondas will surprise you with their impressive handling and quick acceleration. They put together the power of race cars with the comfort of high-end sedans. The Civic Type R for example can go from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds. That is not a typo.

3. The keep their resale value

Everyone knows that when you buy a car it’s basically a loss, right? As soon as it’s off the lot, the value has decreased. That may be true in general, but with a Honda you’ll get the best-possible retention. High-quality individual parts mean that typical wear and tear affects the Honda less than some other brands. This means you’ll be able to pitch a higher price than you would with another car.

4. Perfect for a budget

Not only are Honda’s affordable to buy or lease, but they make you further savings on the road with their great fuel economy. The 2019 Honda Accord, for example can average up to 38mpg on the highway and 30mpg in the city. It doesn’t even stop with the smaller cars and sedans. Honda’s pickup truck, the Ridgeline, can achieve 19mpg city and 26mpg highway. Gas mileage always depends on your exact usage, but these numbers do nothing but impress.

5. Safety features

Solid safety features are practically woven into the fabric of the Honda brand. To take just one example, the Accord has long been recognized as one of the safest and most reliable cars on the road. Honda cars come with the Honda Sensing technology package as standard, which contains forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control and much more.

Honda may never have leapt to mind before when you considered a new car, but why not get to your nearest dealership and test drive your first Honda today?
