Balance isn't about compromise. It's about excelling at everything.

For many people, the words Honda and Accord are one in the same.  And that's no mistake, because the Accord Sedan is more than just a car.  It is a collection of ideas.  Like the notion that you can e responsible and still enjoy yourself.  Or, that smarter engineering can result in both power and efficiency.  That's the way Honda thinks.  And it's why Accord exists.

"Be responsible" this weekend!

Come out to Honda Cars of Bradenton and get your new Honda Accord!

NADA: CR-V and Civic Have Best Cost of Ownership

The analyst at NADAguides used its Cost of Ownership tool to identify the vehicles, by body style, with the best (lowest) cost of ownership in relation to their MSRP. Cost of ownership calculations assumed a driver with more than six years experience, driving an average of 15,000 miles per year, in a specified zip Code, and included the cost of depreciation, fees and taxes, financing, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and repairs over a five-year period. Based on their analysis, the 2010 Honda CR-V 4wd EX-L with Navigation was the best Crossover body style and the 2010 Honda Civic Sedan GX was the best in sedan body style.

We have 2010 Honda models still available, but they are going fast!

Come in to Honda Cars of Bradenton and get yours today!

10 Million and Counting!

This past July Honda's vehicle manufacturing plant in Marysville Ohio, produced its ten-millionth vehicle.  Fittingly, the ten millionth vehicle produced by the plant that began producing Honda Accords in 1982 was... an Accord sedan.  An estimated 8.5 million Honda Accords have been produced at the plant.  It is the first Honda factory outside of Japan to exceed the 10 million unit figure overall.

We don't manufacture Honda's but we sure sell a lot of them, especially the Honda Accord.  Come by Honda Cars of Bradenton and check out our exceptional inventory of both new and pre-owned Accords.

Hunsader Farms near Bradenton Florida

After you stop by Honda Cars of Bradenton this weekend,

you can take a short drive out to Hunsader Farms

for the Fall Pumpkin Festival.

Pumpkin Festival

Oct. 16 & 17, 23 & 24, 30 & 31

9 am - 5 pm

Open Mid Sept thru Mid June

8 am - 4 pm Mon-Sat

5500 CR 675

Bradenton, FL 34211

Hunsader Farms got its start in 1967 when three Hunsader Brothers left their Wisconsin dairy farm to try their hand at growing vegetables in the sunny south. The brothers cleared the land by hand and planted their first crop of 80 acres of tomatoes in the fall of 1967. The operation prospered and grew, and in 1990 was handed down to their sons who gave it the name Hunsader Farms


Through the years we have added many events and activities in an effort to share with the community a little piece of our farming heritage. In 1990 we built the barn style Farm Market, then added the petting zoo in 1991. In 1992 we kicked off our first Pumpkin Festival, while the summer of 1995 was spent building a playground and picnic area for families. The year 1997 brought the construction of our modern-day outhouse. In 2002 we built our craft and antique store, The Farmer’s Wife, and in 2005 turned it into an ice cream and gift shop. In 2007 we remodeled an existing barn and transformed it into a fabulous private party building called The Country Club.
We hope you come visit us as we help you catch a glimpse of days past when life was a little slower, a little sweeter, and a lot simpler.

Can Johnson and Gordon do it again for Hendrick Motorsports?

As predicted, this could shape up to be one of NASCAR’s closest and most competitive championship races in years.


Two races into the Chase for the Sprint Cup, it looks as if eight to 10 teams could be legitimate contenders. Though Denny Hamlin has maintained a 35-point lead, four-time champion Jimmie Johnson closed the gap with his win at Dover Sunday and eight drivers are within 83 points of one another.

When it comes to parity, NASCAR’s top drivers are keeping the series competitive.

There have been 12 different winners so far this year, which is comparable to the last three seasons, when there were from 12 to 16 different winners.

When it comes to NASCAR’s most prestigious title, there is little equality among the organizations fielding teams and cars.

Hendrick Motorsports has won the past four series championships and with Johnson and Gordon in the mix again this season, stands a good chance to make it five straight.

The best bet to unseat them is Joe Gibbs Racing, which has Hamlin and Kyle Busch in the mix. Gibbs has won three Cup titles since 2000.

Since 1994, Hendrick has won nine championships, including four straight on two different occasions (1995-98 and 2006-09).

The only teams that have broken the Hendrick stranglehold have been Gibbs (2000, 2002, 2005), Roush (2003-04) and Robert Yates Racing, which won it in 1999.

This year’s 12 Chase drivers come from just six different organizations, with Roush and RCR putting three drivers each in the championship race. Hendrick and Gibbs each have two while Penske Racing and Stewart-Haas Racing have one each, though Stewart-Haas is closely affiliated with Hendrick.

Good Luck Hendrick Motorsports from your family at Honda Cars of Bradenton!
