Youth Rally Intro

One of our local newspapers, “The Reminder” did a review of the Buick Enclave and not to our surprise, the reviews were fantastic.  Thought we would share the review with you! Of course, you can always go to http://www.Edmunds.com to see other reviews of this vehicle!!

If there’s one thing GM has been unusually good at, it’s building big, solid vehicles that combine comfort with excellent utility. This has been especially true for their line of big SUVs, and since they’ve decided to retire their minivan platform (for the time-being , anyway), this role has been superseded by their big new crossover SUVs, including Chevy, GMC and Buick versions of the same platform. We’re going to spend some quality time this week with the Buick Enclave, which is arguably the most luxurious of the bunch, and a very impressive family-hauler .

The Enclave is available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive in two trim levels (CX, and CXL). All variants are powered by a 3.6-liter V6, and the smooth-idling mill develops 288 horsepower and channels said muscle to all four wheels in our AWD tester through a six-speed automatic transmission, the lone gearbox available. The drivetrain suits the vehicle well, and power is sufficient to push the 5,000-pound vehicle to 60 mph in around 9 seconds. Shifts are crisp, with good ratios – the only foible being a slight reluctance to downshift when passing until you really get on the gas. Handling is quite secure, and the big beast is actually pretty nimble in traffic, with a very compliant ride and an impressively solid feel on rough roads. With the optional ($455) towing package, the Enclave can pull a 4,500-pound trailer. The ABS brakes are sufficiently powerful, with acceptable stopping distances and good control. StabiliTrak, which is GM’s stability and traction control software, is standard, as is OnStar, with turn-by-turn navigation and automatic crash response. Climb into the Enclave and you will experience room that nearly rivals a minivan (yet you still have conventional rear doors). The driver’s perch is a bit on the flat side, but quite commodious, and controls are a mixed bag of logical and atypical switch locations. By contrast , the analog instrumentation is very clear and concise. The real beauty of the Enclave is revealed when you haul the rest of your crew, for both the second and third rows are very expansive and well-furnished . The second row on our CXL had two bucket seats, with aisle access to the split bench third row. This rearward seating is roomy enough for two adults, and while the floor is a little high, it’s perfectly suitable for most individuals. With the third row folded, you have 67 cubic feet of cargo space, and with the second row folded as well, this expands to a whopping 115 cubic feet. All through the cabin , workmanship is excellent and the feeling is one of security and quality, with impressive attention to detail. The Buick Enclave is a large crossover SUV that is as well-built as it is roomy, and is as pleasant to drive as it is to ride in. The 2010 Buick Enclave CXL-2 AWD is EPA-rated 16 MPG city/22 highway and has a base price of $43,995. With options including a navigation system , our MSRP came to $50,605. www. buick.com

Scranton Motors hosted the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe Launch, last night here at the dealership.  As guests were able to take a closer look at the new, stylish, sleek CTS Coupe, they enjoyed lobster and cocktails amongst guests.  With roughly 175 people in attendance, it was a great opportunity and evening to see why this vehicle is so special!

Please take a moment and become a fan of our facebook page to see ALL the photos and information from last night!!

Congrats to Sales Consultant of the month, David Baeza!

In today’s episode of the Car Dealer Dirty Trick Free Zone, Jill Merriam visits Key Hyundai of Manchester’s parts department. At both Key Hyundai of Manchester and Key Hyundai of Milford we have parts departments where experts in accessories and car parts work and are available at anytime to answer questions.  Jill thought it was important to share this becuase there are so many accessories out there for cars.

Jill wanted to visit the parts department to find out what some of the most popular accessories that we have in stock are.  John, who works in the parts department in Key Hyundai of Manchester, informed Jill that IPod cables are usually very popular. This cable allows you to plug your IPod in to your car and control it right through your stereo, of course this is only in cars that come with the capability.  

If you would like to know more about what kind of accessories can be purchased to use in your car feel free to email me directly at jillcares@keycars.com. You can also visit our service and parts department on the web at http://keycars.com/. My name is Jill Merriam, owner of Key Hyundai of Manchester and Key Hyundai of Milford, and I am the dealer for the people.

In today’s episode of the Car Dealer Dirty Trick Free Zone I talk about how to make car buying fun. When most people think of car buying  fun is not usually one of the first words to come to mind. Many often think it is a long and aggravating process. So I decided I should share some tips on how to make car buying fun because buying a car is a major purchase and there is no reason those two words can’t go together.

 Usually you would have to spend much of your weekend driving around to different dealers to choose a model you like, see each dealers invetory and choose what options you want. Now, with the internet, the balance of power has shifted to the conusmer and with the power in your hands you can make this process really enjoyable.  So my tip is to do your research before you buy and make it a fun experience. Visit the internet, shop around in your own home and see what cars are out there that you think would work for you.  I also recommend checking out different dealer sites and make sure they are up to date.

Buying a car is a big purchase and I am dedicated to making it fun. If you have any questions or would like more tips on buying a car email me directly at jillcares@keycars.com or visit my site.

In today’s episode of the Car Dealer Dirty Trick Free Zone, I talk about yet another tip for summer driving. Your fluids are a very important part to your car and it is important to check them often. Also important is to be safe and take caution while checking your fluids and some need to be checked when the car is cool.

Although all fluids are important and should be checked, here are some of the fluids I recommend checking before the summer driving season: your engine oil, coolant, if you drive and automatic car you can check your automatic transmission fluid and brake fluid. When you check your engine oil make sure to note if it is lower then it should be becasue that means there is a problem and you should bring the car into the dealer to take a look at it.

Have a great summer driving season and travel carefully. My name is Jill Merriam, owner of Key Hyundai of Manchester and Milford and I am the dealer for the people.

We have several Golf Tournaments coming up in the next few months we would like to keep you posted on.

June 10, 2010-18th Annual Golf Tournament presented by The Tolland Chamber of Commerce at Blackledge Country Club-Hebron, CT

June 14, 2010 2nd Annual Connecticut DeMolay Golf Tournament at Gillette Ridge Golf Course- Bloomfield, CT

The GMC Terrain has made quite a splash in the crossover world.  With so many benefits, consumers are the biggest advocates of the GMC Terrain.  Several key features that make the Terrain so worthwhile:

1.  Your option of a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder.  Let’s face it: some of us need the room of a small suv without compromising gas mileage.  The Terrain gets up to 32 mpg, depending on which engine you select!

2.  Standard Rearview Camera System- With strong B- and C-pillars to supplement rollover safety, the standard Rearview Camera System improves rearward visibility whenever you back up.

3. Multi-Flex Rear Seat- The exclusive Multi-Flex sliding rear seat has almost 8” of fore-and-aft travel.  It provides segment-leading rear leg room and first-class rear-seat accommodations.  The Multi-Flex seat has three positions (straight, 5-degree recline, 10-degree recline) and is split-folding for flexibility.  When moved to the forward position, it gives Terrain additional cargo space-a total of 31.6 cu. ft.

Also some interesting features of the terrain include the rarity of having heated cloth seats!! Also, the ECO button which alters shift patterns in power train configurations on the 2.4L models to provide maximum fuel economy!!

There are so many features of the GMC Terrain and the reasons why this vehicle is so popular and in demand.  We have them for you!!

Scranton Motors also has GMC Terrains pre-owned!!

If you have wanted to take a look at the Terrain, no problem!! We understand that not everyone wants to be pressured!
