I used the USAA service. I was happy with it. It does not have relationships with all of the Honda dealers in my area, but the price was right, so I bought from one of the designated dealers, but have the car serviced at my nearby dealer.
Also, before I went Honda shopping, I was shopping for a Volt. I also used the USAA service for that. In the breakdown of costs on the USAA results, it was revealed that ALL the GM dealers (at that time, anyway) that provided quotes back were adding a $1000 surcharge on each Volt. I don't believe I would have found that out any other way so early in the process if it was not listed on the USAA cost sheet. One of the dealers called me up, and I told him the surcharge made me not interested in getting a Volt. He said OK and hung up. Never heard from him again.
