Condition: Extremely clean inside and out. Besides surface rust on some suspension components etc it has a rust free body and even the brake lines running to the rear are still shiny etc.
The car had been lightly backed into and creased the RF fender. It was later scraped on the LF fender and front bumper fascia (also took off a 1/2" chip of paint on the drivers mirror that was touched up). All replacements were with OEM Honda parts and professionally painted with premium paint. The front bumper was very recently replaced with an OEM Honda part and professionally painted with premium paints and clear coats. All other body panels are original paint etc. A few very small dings due to storage damage can be found. See pictures of the small gouges on the rear bumper (drivers side)...they were touched up but are noticeable up close. The carbon fiber hood was painted to match and has hood pins in place for safety (a few very minor cracks were created when installing the hood pins but have not changed in 15 years). The window tinting was just professionally removed. Meticulously maintained! Mobil 1 was used exclusively with either Honda or Mobil 1 oil filters only. Oil level has never dropped between changes. New timing belt, water pump, drive belts installed. Fresh valve adjustment and the K&N air filter has just been cleaned, dried, oiled and re-installed. Motul RBF (Racing Brake Fluid) has been changed regularly. Cam seal had a slight leak and was just repaired. CV boots were replaced 10,000 miles ago. Clutch was replaced 15,000 miles ago. A/C is nice and cold. The factory windshield was replaced 8,000 miles ago. There was one very small rock chip in the middle of the passenger side since but it has been professionally repaired so it will not spread. Suspension is firm but not at all bouncy. Note:The Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 ultra high performance summer tires are showing their age with some cracking(due to being stored so much) and have 1/8" tread life remaining (see pictures).

History: I purchased the vehicle new in 1996 from Bellevue Honda in Bellevue (Omaha), Nebraska. The car was always garaged in the snow belt and rarely driven in winter. I kept the underside washed all the time when/if it was exposed to snow. I then lived in Phoenix, AZ for 5 years (no rust obviously) and finally here in SW Ohio but only drove it a few times in snow here as well. The car was pictured in Sport Compact Car magazine as it was the cover vehicle for the Honda Hybrid web page for a few months in 1998. It has had several upgrades since then as you can tell from the lists above. The engine had just over 33,000 kilometers on it when installed and the car had 40,000 miles. I have never drag raced the car. I did run the car on Laguna Seca with street legal tires and Honda OEM pads. Fast lap was 1 minute 52 seconds and that was prior to limited slip being installed. I also had the pleasure of driving it to and in performance driving schools at Gingerman Raceway, Phoenix International (road course), Buttonwillow, Willow Springs, Second Creek Raceway (no longer exists in Colorado), Brainerd International and the Las Vegas Speedway (road course). On street tires I would average 38MPG at 75MPH. Car comes with it's 2 original keys and an Alpine remote. Unfortunately I have not been be really using this car for the purpose it was built for quite a few years. As you can see, no cheap parts were ever put on this car. I was even married in it! |

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

The Civic Coupe is a striking redesign of an extremely popular and important model for the company. And the restyled Ford Escape looks more like its bigger brother, the Explorer. There's this an much more in our video above. Watch it and let us know what you think – and look for more LA Auto Show coverage coming soon.
2016 Honda Pilot earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ score
Fri, Aug 21 2015The 2016 Honda Pilot earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating after tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The crossover scored the agency's top Good score in all five evaluations, including the often tricky small-overlap frontal crash. The latest results give the 2016 Pilot the highest possible results from both NCAP and IIHS. In the small-overlap frontal crash, there were only four inches of intrusion in the passenger compartment, and the airbags did their job of protecting the dummy's head. Sensors showed a low risk of significant injuries. In comparison, the IIHS gave the 2015 Pilot Good scores in four tests, but the CUV had a Poor rating, the agency's lowest, in the small-overlap test. The optional Honda Sensing suite of safety functions put the Pilot over the top for the + score, and the tech earned a superior rating from the IIHS. The system combines a windshield-mounted camera and radar behind the grille and is available on the EX trim and above. It includes collision mitigating braking, a forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and road departure mitigation.

This IIHS distinction includes a top rating of GOOD in five IIHS crash test modes including a top score of GOOD in the Insurance Institute's stringent small overlap frontal crash test.
