Gently Driven Family Owned Car on 2040-cars
Frankford, Delaware, United States
Two owner car. My sister bought it new in Calif., then passed it on to my nephew in Virginia, who has now moved across country.
It's a great little car that gets 30 mpg. The only thing not working is the cruise control. They apparently get water leaked into them and go bad.
The windshield has a long crack across the lower part and must be replaced for inspection. The airbag light is on; there's a factory recall for that fix and also for some front fog light wiring (I think). The chrome "H" on the grill is gone. All lights work as they should.
The paint is in good shape and still pretty shiny, except for the trunk which has scratches on it; probably from strapping a bicycle on it. I haven't tried to wax or buff it. In the photos, there is a reflection showing on the left side of the trunk. The front plastic bumper fascia has a bunch of scrapes and scratches, and one punctured part about the size of a tennis ball. There are some long, light scratches on the sides of the car. It looks good from 15 ft. away, for a 12 yr. old car. Hood has paint chips and looks like a kid sat on it. Dent should pop out. Photo shows a refection, not the hood dent.
I have driven this car from Virginia to Delaware where I live, and it is a fun car to drive. Very peppy engine.

2015 Fit Kit is the perfect DIY car from Honda
Mon, 31 Mar 2014Ah... let the April Fools' Day automotive jokes begin. Honda is kicking things off, following up on last year's Honda Hair joke with a prank video featuring the 2015 Honda Fit.
It's called the Fit Kit, and as you might guess, it's a way to build your own version of the redesigned hatchback. There are 180,000 mechanical parts in the kit - some delivered by drone - but that doesn't seem at all daunting to the pair of obnoxious, self-described tinkerers that star in the Fit Kit ad.
Honestly, the video is pretty entertaining, with some biting satire of the DIY movement and its attendant cadre of mustachioed hipsters. Scroll down and have a look at both the video and the Fit Kit press release from Honda.
Honda Jazz looks like a good fit for Paris
Wed, 17 Sep 2014The quirky, utilitarian little hatchback that we know as the Honda Fit in the US carries the more melodious Jazz name in Europe. And while the newest Fit is already on sale in our market, folks are still waiting for it across the pond. Honda is unveiling its new Jazz Prototype to the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October, and it's nearly identical to what is currently on sale in North America. In fact, it's hard to image Honda changing much from this "prototype" before launching it for Europeans.
The Jazz's design is exactly what you would expect after even a glance at the current North American Fit. Except for a different wing at the rear, a shark fin antenna and a new set of wheels, this Jazz plays the same tune we've heard before.
The one thing keeping the Fit and Jazz from truly being identical siblings is that the European model packs Honda's new 1.3-liter i-VTEC Earth Dreams engine under the hood, rather than the 1.5-liter used in North America. But just like our Fit, the Jazz will be available with a six-speed manual or CVT. The Japanese automaker says that the Jazz goes on sale in the summer of 2015. Scroll down to read the company's announcement for its upcoming hatch.
Honda begins Micro Commuter testing
Fri, 19 Jul 2013Autocar is reporting that Honda is about to start testing prototypes of its Micro Commuter, a petite EV that'll do adorable battle with the Renault Twizy if it reaches production.
Honda first showed the Micro Commuter, a so called super-urban vehicle, in November. Like the Renault, it features a 1+1 setup, meaning there's a central seat up front and a small backseat behind it. Honda has designed the tandem runabout for versatility, featuring a body that can be adapted for everything from child hauling to elderly passengers.
A rear-mounted electric motor draws power from a 15-kilowatt, lithium-ion battery, granting it a top speed of 50 miles per hour. With 37 miles of range, the Micro Commuter could be a neat urban solution. That said, these were figures that were announced in November, so we wouldn't be surprised to see them change as Honda gathers data from its new prototype testing program.
