Up for sale is my 2000 Honda Insight. I have driven this car since 2004, and have put over 200k miles on the car since then. The odometer says 296xxx miles, but the car actually has somewhat more (50-60k) than that because I replaced the instrument cluster way back in 2005 or so. Nevertheless, the car currently runs and drives well enough to pass PA's rather stringent multipoint inspection just a few weeks ago, and the inspection is good until 10/14. As you can see in the pics, there is some cosmetic damage/scratches on various surfaces, nothing unusual for a car of this age. What you can't see are a few common issues with the Insight: the transmission grinds when downshifting into 2nd or first at anything above 18 or so mph for 2nd, 4 or so mph for first. In addition, I am not sure of the IMA battery condition - I am currently on battery #4, which I replaced a few months ago with a donor from a salvage yard. That battery had about 60k miles on it, but the IMA light came on recently and then went away by itself. I have driven a couple hundred miles since and have not seen the light come back, but I'm not sure of this battery's life expectancy.
The car was apparently in an accident before I purchased it in 04; some kind of collision with an animal I believe in the front. Under my use you can see the rear bumper slightly misaligned because of a low speed impact with a basketball hoop post, but that's it for accidents. The interior shows wear in terms of plastic scratches and some staining on the carpet, but the seats have no holes, and I the car has never been smoked in. As you can imagine I have done regular maintenance to the car to keep it going this long, always doing oil changes with Mobil 1 0w20 when the maintenance light appears. The car also has a new 12v battery, new front brakes, and an aftermarket stereo with 4 speakers. A/c has worked fine for the car's entire life. Power windows work fine; passenger power door lock works sporadically. Lifetime fuel economy is 51.9 mpg. The tires were good enough to pass inspection, but are down to probably 30% or so of their tread. I am selling because I want a bigger car to handle my long commute; in the meantime I continue to drive this car about 150 miles a day, so the mileage will be higher accordingly when you come to see the car. Title is clear and lien-free. I am selling this car as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Deposit of $100 due upon purchase; balance due in cash within 7 days of purchase. Please contact me with questions. |

The cars that won't live to see 2015 [w/video]
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Every year in the fast-paced automotive industry brings new models, but it also spells the end for some that have been less successful. This year will be no exception.
Japan's automakers make up the bulk of the list of discontinued models for the 2015 model year: Acura is replacing the TL and TSX with the new TLX sedan, Honda is bidding farewell to the Fit EV as the new Fit hatchback takes its place, and Nissan is saying goodbye to both the Cube and Murano CrossCabriolet. Both the Nissan Maxima and Mazda2 exit stage left before their upcoming replacements arrive, while Toyota is terminating the RAV4 EV and FJ Cruiser as well as the Scion xD, and Lexus IS C and IS F that are being effectively replaced by the new RC. Meanwhile Infiniti is finally discontinuing the G37 that was already replaced by the newer Q50.
From our own domestic automakers, Cadillac discontinues the CTS-V sedan and wagon as the new CTS rolls in, Chevy is canceling the mild-hybrid Eco versions of the Malibu and Impala sedans, and Chrysler is killing off the 200 convertible as the new 200 sedan arrives.
Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
2015 Honda CR-V performs poorly in Swedish AWD test [w/video]
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Swedish auto magazine Teknikens Värld has never been afraid to call out automakers when a vehicle fails one of its battery of examinations. Its famous Moose Test recently caught the Porsche Macan out, and a few years ago, there was a protracted argument between Teknikens Värld and Jeep over the performance of a Grand Cherokee in that evaluation.
This time, the 2015 Honda CR-V is raising the magazine's hackles, but it has nothing to do with avoiding a giant mammal. Snow is obviously an issue in Sweden, and Teknikens Värld has a test that challenges all-wheel drive systems in low-traction settings. On a slanted surface, the Swedes put the vehicles' front wheels on rollers with no traction and demands the rears accelerate away. The Honda couldn't do it. Teknikens Värld claims that it initially found the same result last year from the European CR-V, but Honda Sweden put out a software upgrade correcting the behavior in the test. This year, the CUV went back to failing.
While that's the magazine's side, Honda Sweden doesn't see the test as fair. In a statement to Teknikens Värld, the company explains the way the CUV's all-wheel drive system works. It also claims that the test isn't simulating a realistic situation. "In real conditions, regardless of the surface, there is a certain amount of friction always available for both front and rear wheels," the announcement says. "A scenario like the roll test with such a high difference in grip between the front and the rear wheels is highly unlikely."
