What we have here is my 2011 Honda Element.  I have to be honest, I don't want to sell her, but a transfer to Japan is pretty much forcing my hand.  A couple dealer installed options I want to point out, are the roof rack and trailer hitch/towing package.  I have taken great care of this care it's entire life.  She's been dealer maintained and I have all the service receipts to prove it.  Also, she's due for service, so before the new owner picks her up, I'm going to get her serviced so you'll be good to go until the next service interval.  (Yes, I'll have the dealer receipt to prove it!) 

YOU WILL NOT FIND ANOTHER ELEMENT LIKE THIS ONE!!!!  The particular Element is sporting 6000K Xenon headlights, both hi and low beam.  I upgraded the sound system to ensure I had bluetooth connectivity and hands free calling.  Of course, when I upgraded the head unit, I also upgraded everything else...the stock system is a 300 Watt 7 speaker system...pathetic.  Now, this particular Element is sporting a 9 speaker 1100 Watt stereo.  All the speakers are Alpine except the subwoofer are alpine, the amplifier is an Alpine 5 channel unit, and the subwoofer is made by Polk audio...no expense was spared, and yes, the speaker wires were upgraded as well to handle all the extra juice!  I can honestly say I prefer the clarity and depth of sound from this system over the Harmon Kardon system in my wife's Land Rover.  (She won't admit it, but she does too!) For those of you worried about huge speaker boxes being everywhere, don't, all speakers are mounted in their stock locations.  The subwoofer was upgraded from 6" to 8" within the stock unit's enclosure, and the rear door speakers gained a set of component tweeters installed flush in the door instead of plain speakers.  The result is wonderful sound throughout the entire vehicle, bluetooth hands free integration for phone calls, streaming audio, and google maps integration.  Also, to ensure I had 100% stock functionality, I added the sirius/xm radio interface to the radio, as well as the steering wheel control interface.  So, sit back, leave your hands on the wheel because even though the system is aftermarket, all the stock controls work exactly how their supposed to!!  

This car is the best all around vehicle you'll ever own, hands down!  Not only has it been declared the best pet vehicle ever, but it's heavy duty flooring and seat materials make it easy to clean for those of us with kids!  Take it to the beach with the kids and the dogs...it's got the heavy duty rubber floor mats, and the Honda neoprene rear seat covers!  It's got the roof rail system as well so you can strap your surfboards...bikes..kayaks, or whatever you want to the roof and hit the road!  I've taken it camping more times than I can count, and it's absolutely amazing how much stuff you can fit, and worst case if you get to your site and it's raining, the seats all fold down into one another to form to beds inside the car.  

So there's no surprises when you come to drive your new car home, the car does have one small blemish on it.  Someone kissed the driver's side rear fender when they were pulling into or out of a parking place next to me.  I've included a picture of the spot, and I was quoted $250 by a highly reputable shop for a bumper re-spray to get it fixed as it is ONLY paint damage, nothing else...I just haven't had the time to get to it.    

Like I said at the beginning, this is my car, and I love it to death and wish I didn't have to sell it.  I've upgraded it how I've wanted it, and have...or should I say had even bigger plans that what's already on there.  I know she'll make anyone a great vehicle, whether you're a large family, or just someone who likes to hit the beach by themselves after work.  

Don't let this one slip by, 2011 is the last year Honda made these, and given the fact that the Honda dealership calls me at least twice a month asking if they can buy it back from me, these are becoming harder to find every day!  

Feel free to email, or call (Chris: 757-513-7776) if you have any other specific questions I didn't answer here!  

Good luck, and don't wait to make this special car yours!

Honda's Euro Civic hatch getting facelift, too

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Honda's freshening of the Civic line isn't just limited to the North American market, as proven by these images of the Euro-spec model testing on Her Majesty's motorways.
According to our spies, this new Civic boasts a heavily restyled front fascia, with headlights and taillights that draw a quite a bit of inspiration from the Civic Type R Concept from the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
The restyled front fascia has a sportier lean, with more significant lateral intakes and what looks like a slightly larger lower intake. It's more difficult to make out details on the rear of the car, although we can spot a modest little diffuser and a larger integrated spoiler.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.

eBay Find of the Day: 1985 Honda City Turbo II is JDM forbidden fruit you can own

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

It's always fun to cruise different global eBay Motors sites and check out the cars that we never got here. Thankfully, America's 25-year import limit on cars means that some of the rarities from the 80s are finally legal on these shores. This 1985 Honda City Turbo II is a great example of a fun, little car that we never got new but can be made legal here now.
The City was basically the Japanese company's '80s equivalent of today's Fit, albeit significantly smaller. The little urban runabout was so popular in its basic form that Honda decided to take things up a notch and turbocharge it. That car sold enough to warrant an even higher performance version called the Turbo II, which added an intercooler and the flared fenders you see here. The latter helped it earn the nickname "bulldog" for its boxy, aggressive appearance.
Honda claimed at the time that its little 1.2-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder produced 109 horsepower and 118 pound-feet of torque with a five-speed manual. In a car that weight just 1,620 pounds, you can imagine it was a very entertaining little package.
