1997 Honda Civic Del Sol Vtec Coupe 2-door 1.6l on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
Rare, low mileage, late 1997 Honda del Sol with VTEC DOHC engine in
excellent condition. Five-speed manual transmission. Targa top, stows in
the trunk.
Own a sports car without the hassle of high repair bills! I bought the car from its original owner @ 24,000 miles in 2003. It now has 88,000 miles on it. It is extremely unusual to find a Honda del Sol VTEC for sale with low miles, especially one in such good condition. To my knowledge, this car has never been in an accident, nor has it ever been driven outside the state of California. It has been meticulously maintained in full compliance with the Honda recommended maintenance schedule by Robert DiMauro in Goleta California. CarFax shows "title updated" in 2012. That was to remove my ex-husband's name from the title. This car has had only two owners: the original purchaser (1997-2003), and myself (2003 to present). Features: * Cruise control * Driver and passenger air bags * Power windows * Air conditioning * New speakers * Super cool "rear window" that goes up/down behind the seats * Surprisingly spacious trunk for a sports car * Added car alarm with kill switch * Added 6 CD changer * Newer tires The car rides low to the ground, which makes it prone to getting "rock dings" on the front end. I had the front end re-painted last year for this reason. I have an OEM "bra" which I'll give to the successful buyer. This car takes premium fuel only. Gas mileage is mid- to upper-20s or better per gallon, depending on how aggressively you drive it. Good luck with that ;-). |

105-year-old Facebook user gifted new car anonymously
Mon, 26 Aug 2013105-year-old Edythe Kirchmaier is quite a woman. Not only is she California's oldest driver - she just renewed her license this January after passing the test without incident - she has a perfect 86-year driving record without so much as a parking violation. In fact, she's been driving for so long that she learned how on a Ford Model T (how many people alive today have even driven one of those, much less learned on one?). On top of all that, Edythe is a philanthropist; she's been volunteering at Direct Relief, which provides free medications for people in need, for 40 years. You may have even seen her on TV earlier this year spreading the word.
So when Edythe's 1997 minivan began breaking down, an anonymous fan did what any completely selfless person of means would: they gifted her a brand-new 2013 Honda Civic, ensuring that Edythe can continue working for the cause she loves. Check her out on Facebook - she's the social media site's oldest registered user - and scroll down to the press release for more on this heartwarming story.
Honda motorcycles most stolen, just like Honda autos
Tue, 26 Nov 2013It comes as no surprise that Honda's Civic and Accord are the most stolen cars in America, but as it turns out, thieves like the company's motorcycles the most too, according to a study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). Out of the 46,061 two-wheelers stolen in 2012, 9,082 of them were Hondas. While that's bad news for Honda motorcycle owners, at least motorcycle theft went down slightly from 2011, which had 46,667 reported thefts. Motorcycle theft recoveries, on the other hand, were just 39 percent.
Yamaha is up next in the theft rankings (7,517), then Suzuki (7,017). The numbers drop a bit for fourth and fifth place, Kawasaki (4,839) and Harley-Davidson (3,755). These five brands are far and away the most stolen motorcycles: sixth place, apparently held by scooter, dirtbike and ATV maker Taotao, dropped to 914 theft reports.
California had the most reported thefts (6,082), followed by Florida (4,110), Texas (3,400), North Carolina (2,574) and Indiana (2,334). By city, New York City had the most reported thefts (903), followed by Las Vegas (757), San Diego (633), Indianapolis (584) and Miami (535.
Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
