1996 Honda Civic Ex Coupe 5 Speed Great Commuter - Great Mileage - Runs Great on 2040-cars
Brentwood, California, United States
1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe 5 Speed - Great Commuter For sale is my trusty 1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe... I've had this car since 10/2006, so 8 years of its 18 year life. It's was my reliable commute partner for years before I got another high mileage newer car... I no longer need this car and, thanks to Christmas, the bills don't pay themselves.... I got this car so I wouldn't have to drive the truck I owned at the time back and forth to work. The car gets phenomenal gas mileage and has never let me down... Be it going to work or driving down to LA, over the grapevine no less, this car has always been rock solid reliable. I have personally maintained it ever since I've owned it and given it regular services (Oil, fluids, filters), "maintenance items" (Timing belt, hoses, brake pads, ignition system), as well as those necessary things when they come up (CV shafts, Bearings). It indicates 169,XXX miles, and for all intents and purposes I usually just refer to what the odometer says... But in reality the car has about 11k less miles than what is indicated... Way back at 80k miles the speedometer cluster died. I sourced a replacement from a tow/junkyard but it had 11k more miles on it... That has been the cluster ever since and I've put another 80k miles on it without any problems. The vast majority of those miles are highway miles, easy for a honda civic to gobble up. I love this little car but registration and insurance on a car I don't use anymore is just another thing making my money disappear.... I JUST SMOGGED AND REGISTERED THE CAR TODAY (1/6/14). The car passed, as it always has... With smog and reg you're good to go! I have the clean title in my hands, no fees etc... ISSUES: Appearance inside and out:
Mechanical Issues:
Good Things:
I'm sure I'm missing something in the good column... I've been good to this car for the last 8 years since it's been so good to me, and addressed any problems or maintenance needs. She's not the prettiest girl on the block when it comes to exterior appearance, but she's solid and has never let me down... If you need something to eat the miles up and commute in while not burning a ton of gas, this is the car for you... Thanks for looking! |

eBay Find of the Day: Ayrton Senna's 1993 Honda NSX
Fri, 09 Aug 2013It's not often that things owned by the late Ayrton Senna come up for sale, but the seller of this black-on-black 1993 Honda NSX (aka, Acura NSX) eBay find claims it was once owned by the Formula One legend, and that he left a footprint on the factory carpet that can still be seen today. (Footprint, or vacuum lines?...)
NSX no. T000999 was given to Senna as a gift from his mentor and sponsor, Antonio de Almeida Braga, the seller claims, and it was stored at a palace near the Estoril F1 circuit in Portugal. He also was known to drive two other NSXs, a black one and a red one - the latter in which he was seen often.
The seller claims to have owned T000999, which is still in Portugal, for 17 years, and the 31,000-mile odometer indicates it was driven about 1,500 miles per year on average. Thankfully the car has been kept stock, so whoever buys it can enjoy driving it just as Senna did - that is, if the car actually is what it's claimed to be. If the story checks out, then this is one valuable NSX, which is reflected in the high minimum starting bid of 47,500 pounds ($73,620). There have been no bids at time of writing, but with nine days left in the auction, we'll be keeping our eyes on this one.
Honda recalls 2012-13 Fit Sport models over stability control issue
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Honda is recalling 43,782 examples of the 2012 and 2013 Fit Sport in the US and close to 2,000 more in Canada. During federal compliance testing it was discovered that the software for the Vehicle Stability Assist allows an excessive tilt angle before applying the brakes to prevent a crash. The issue only affects Fit Sports equipped with a certain kind of tire.
Honda will notify owners in mid-May, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers to have the stability control software updated free of charge. There's a press release from Honda below with more details.
2015 Honda Fit
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The last time we left our subcompact hero, the plucky Honda Fit was getting a bit long in the tooth. But the second-generation model was still holding its own rather well, and for the enthusiast on a tight budget who wanted it all, it remained the car of record in its class. If you desired an endlessly practical and reliable little hatch that was fun to drive, it didn't get much better than the Fit. Even with nearly every competitor having been fully freshened since the model's introduction in 2009, the Honda managed to fight off also-ran status simply because of how incredibly functional and great to drive it was. Long story short: we loved this car.
Of course, there were a few caveats to the Fit's superhero status. It wasn't particularly fuel efficient, only mustering up, at best, 33 miles per gallon on the highway in a segment where 40-mpg quickly became the new benchmark. What's more, its onboard technology and infotainment was seriously showing its age. While we'd praise the Fit's behind-the-wheel goodness all day long, this shining beacon of great steering and suspension tuning never proved to be all that wonderful for long-distance highway cruising.
Now, say hello to the 2015 Fit, hitting dealerships this spring. Worry not - it's still clever as ever from a packaging standpoint, and comes fitted with lots of newness both inside and out. It's a far more competitive vehicle than its predecessor, and has everything it takes to fight even the toughest of classmates. But just as before, our recommendation doesn't come without a few caveats.
