What can I say about Jane Honda? She’s been my stalwart companion for the past 7 years.

I purchased Jane in 2006, at which point she had only 62,500 miles. The previous owner had, in fact, been the quintessential “little old lady that only drove it on Sundays.” I bought it from the woman’s son who couldn’t keep it because he worked for a Ford dealer in Kansas City.

Since then, I’ve put almost 165,000 miles on her, mostly on the highways in and around the Kansas City, KS, and, more recently, Houston, TX, areas. The bulk of these were racked up between 2008 and 2012 when I worked as a same-day delivery courier for a pharmacy in Lawrence, KS, making runs to Kansas City (~100 miles roundtrip) and driving an average of about 35,000 miles per year.

Because that was my livelihood at the time, I was obsessive about maintenance, getting the oil changed at the dealership every 5,000 miles or so.

Maintenance history:

The following is the maintenance history for which I have records – there are a few gaps (in 2007-2008, 2010-2011, and 2012).

·         Clarion FB275BT Bluetooth stereo head unit installed in 2008 and still working great for connecting mp3 players via the aux input jack and iPhones, etc, via Bluetooth. This head unit does NOT have a CD player.

Jane Honda still serves as my daily commuter, runs great, and doesn’t burn a drop of oil. Since replacing the head cover gasket, even the slight seep around the head cover has ceased. But I need a newer car with four doors for my work, and I don’t have a garage where I can keep Jane as a backup.

For someone with reasonable equipment and inclination to work on her, Jane’s still got a lot of life left in her. I could easily imagine someone getting 400k+ miles out of her if the maintenance is kept up.

Transaction details:

Jane is being sold AS IS, without warranty of any kind. The current Kansas title includes a bill of sale on the back that will be signed over to the buyer upon receipt of payment. From there, you can proceed with registration.

I’ll be sorry to part ways with her, but glad to see her go to a good home.

Thanks for looking.

Honda Civic Tourer images arrive early on web

Sun, 03 Mar 2013

Honda provided a teaser sketch of its Civic Tourer concept wagon about a month ago (right), but today, just a couple days before its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show, we've found these official pics of the car in question from WhatCar?
The Civic Tourer concept adds a little length and height to the current Civic hatchback sold in Europe, stretching the shape every which way to make a new wagon model that will compete with cars like the new Volkswagen Golf Variant, which is also making its debut in Geneva this week.
As we mentioned when Honda released the teaser sketch last month, the European Civic is different from the Civic sold here in the US, so the production version of this concept, which should debut in the fall, will never see the inside of a dealership in the States. Do you care, or does the smaller Fit fill that role well enough for Americans?

Watch the latest Civic Type R hit the track in Japan

Wed, Mar 30 2016

The latest Honda Civic Type R is very sweet forbidden fruit because the launch of the new generation Civic in the US suggests that the 306-horsepower turbocharged hot hatch might not arrive on this continent in its current form. However, the next one should come here and could have an even more powerful version of the Ohio-made 2.0-liter engine. While North American buyers wait, Best Motoring host Keiichi Tsuchiya slips behind the Type R's wheel in this video to show us what we're missing. After the Drift King's drive, the CTR looks a little rotten. Tsuchiya seems to fight understeer from the moment he hits the first corner of the very tight Nikko Circuit, and it doesn't appear to let up over his couple of laps. Unfortunately, this clip doesn't have English subtitles, so we can only draw conclusions from Tsuchiya's driving – unless you understand Japanese. There could be a few explanations for the Civic Type R's performance in this video. There's still snow on the ground, so the performance tires could have trouble with grip in the cold. The track's layout also doesn't provide much opportunity to open the throttle. The tight corners really tax a vehicle's handling, and the hot hatch's front-wheel drive lap record at the Nurburgring suggests the Type R might prefer a quicker track. We also remarked on understeer during our First Drive, but it wasn't this bad. If you're unfamiliar with Best Motoring and Tsuchiya, you're missing out. The show puts racing drivers into mostly Japanese performance cars and lets them offer their driving impressions. Tsuchiya is the star and quite an accomplished racer, one of the drivers who took a class win in a Honda NSX in the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. If you've missed out on these clips, prepare to waste a weekend watching the series on its YouTube channel. Related Video:

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal

Tue, Aug 18 2020

WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well."Â
