In our mind, cars have one purpose: getting you to your destination safely. So, when we hear about features like <a href=\"http:\/\/owners.honda.com\/vehicles\/information\/2016\/CR-V\/features\/Honda-LaneWatch\/2\">Honda Lanewatch<\/a>, we can\u2019t help but appreciate what they\u2019re doing for the automotive industry.<\/p>\n<p>For those who don\u2019t know, <a href=\"http:\/\/owners.honda.com\/vehicles\/information\/2016\/CR-V\/features\/Honda-LaneWatch\/2\">Honda Lanewatch<\/a> uses a camera positioned on your passenger mirror to feed live video of the blind spot to your infotainment screen. Basically, it removes the need to turn your head around (away from the road ahead) to check your blind spot. All you need to do is turn on your blinker, and look down at the infotainment center to see if you\u2019re clear to merge. It makes merging a whole lot safer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-color: transparent; display: block; max-width: 700px;\" title=\"audioBoom player\" src=\"\/\/embeds.audioboom.com\/boos\/4996634-leith-cars-com-episode-8-d-of-zero-to-60-on-honda-s-50-mpg-hybrid\/embed\/v4?eid=AQAAANAjx1caPkwA?rel=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Honda Sensing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>And to add insult to injury \u2013 or in this case compliment to safety \u2013 there\u2019s Honda Sensing. Honda Sensing monitors your position in the lane, alerts you if you\u2019re drifting out of the lane, and will even correct your position. It also features adaptive cruise control, which maintains a safe distance between the car you\u2019re following. Both of these features will make your next long trip easier and safer than ever.<\/p>\n<p>These features are a testament to Honda\u2019s emphasis on what <em>really <\/em>matters when you get behind the wheel. Come to Leith Honda any time\u00a0and take the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid for a test drive. We know first hand that you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>* 49 city \/ 47 highway \/ 48 combined mpg rating. Based on 2017 EPA mileage ratings.
