Manual Transmission shifts as it should. Strong clutch with little play. No visible rust. Car has some door dings and scratches that may not be visible in pics. Interior in great shape with no rips or tears except small patched area about a half inch on drivers seat. Some lights on buttons/controls do not light up (such as cruise control light)however, everything including cruise control works as it should. Some front suspension rattling from what I suspect to be front struts, especially noticeable first few miles car is driven. Suspect car could use front struts/shocks. Tires could use replacing in next year or 12000 miles +/-. Volume control knob for stereo finicky but works. Car just flew through Virginia Safety Inspection and Emissions as is with no trouble at all. Drivers side door lock will not work with key or remote. Easy fix. Until resolved, must be manually locked/unlocked inside."

 The Good:  Good Condition. Runs great. Full Power. Engine smooth - does not burn or blow smoke. Manual Transmission shifts as it should. Strong clutch with little to no play. No visible rust. Ice Cold Air Conditioning. Cruise Control. I have averaged 27 MPG. Looks good/great. Everyone thinks this Element is newer than it is! Interior looks fantastic, probably as nice as it gets for this year.

The Bad (all minor). Tires, Front struts/shocks at end of useful life cycle. Some control knobs do not light up on dash at night, but all work. Some door dings/scratches.

Up for Auction is a well running Honda Element EX with 5-Speed manual transmission. This FWD Manual is probably the most reliable cost-efficient combination. Upgrades include Factory Installed Sub-Woofer for nicer sound. Power front windows/mirrors. Ice Cold Air, Heat Defrost, all comfort controls work as they should. Extra's include roof rack and small hitch for bicycle rack, etc (I do not have a bicycle rack for it) and nice side rails.

The engine runs smooth. Does not burn or blow smoke. Engine seems to have full power. Great little vehicle. Was my daily driver until I accepted a job requiring a long commute in stop and go traffic, so I purchased a new sub-compact and don't have room to store extra cars. If you're looking for a great Honda Element at a low price - this is your opportunity allowing you to get the vehicle now and improve it later with new tires/front struts, etc.

Check my rating. Bid with confidence. I have sold numerous cars over the years on Ebay and never had a dissatisfied buyer.

Honda recalling 1,400 units of 2016 Pilot to adjust seatbelts

Thu, Jul 16 2015

Just as the new model starts arriving at dealers, Honda is already recalling the 2016 Pilot in order to adjust the third-row seatbelt positioning in some of them. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports this campaign covers 1,358 vehicles. However, Honda asserts that only a tiny number of owners actually need to bring their crossover into their dealerships for repair. Honda discovered during quality checks at the factory that the third-row seatbelt could be trapped between the seat and the side of the vehicle. This could pose a safety issue to passengers back there. The affected examples have build dates between May 4, 2015, and June 5, 2015. Because the 2016 Pilots were just launching when this problem was discovered most of them were still at the factory, in transit, or at dealers. According to Honda, only 269 of the affected examples actually made it to owners. The automaker got in contact with these customers to reposition the seatbelt. There are still 20 left that need to be checked, and this issue isn't responsible for any reported crashes or injuries. RECALL Subject : Rear Seatbelt May Be Trapped Report Receipt Date: JUL 06, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V424000 Component(s): SEAT BELTS Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,358 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) HONDA PILOT 2016 Details Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) SUMMARY: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2016 Honda Pilot vehicles manufactured May 4, 2015, to June 5, 2015. Due to an assembly issue, the third row seatbelt may be trapped between the rear seat and the rear sideliner. CONSEQUENCE: If the third row seatbelt is trapped, the occupants may not be restrained properly, increasing the risk of injury. REMEDY: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the rear third row seat belt, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on August 6, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-310-783-2000. Honda's number for this recall is JS7. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Honda Civic Type R Concept to hatch in Geneva

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

As if the Geneva Motor Show isn't exciting enough, now we have word that a new version of a certain iconic Japanese hot hatch will make an appearance there in a few weeks time. Honda has announced that its Civic Type R Concept will be revealed during the show's media days, which take place March 4 and 5.
Since this is Honda we're talking about, we should point out that the "Concept" part of the Civic Type R's name is usually a bit of a misnomer. For the past few years, the Japanese automaker has made a habit of attaching "Concept" to the end of several near-production models in the name of drumming up auto show excitement (see Exhibits A, B, C, D and E). So really, this is almost certainly the next Civic Type R, a car we've kind of already driven.
The latter car was a "development" model, but we aren't expecting a lot to change between it and the production model. As previously reported, a 2.0-liter, turbocharged engine should deliver north of 280 horsepower to the front wheels via a six-speed gearbox. Have a look up top at the sole image of the hot Civic released by Honda, and then scroll down for the official press release.

2020 Ford Explorer vs 3-row crossover rivals: How they compare on paper

Thu, Jan 10 2019

The 2020 Ford Explorer has finally landed, and if history serves as an indicator, it should be bigger than sliced bread. And people sure love themselves some sliced bread. This new Explorer may look familiar on the outside, but beneath the skin is a radically new rear-drive platform related to the Ford Mustang (as opposed to a front-drive platform related to the Ford Taurus and a Volvo from the 1990s). Turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines now exclusively rest under its hood, which as you'll see below, both better anything its competitors offer. Ah, but if you're curious to know how the new 2020 Explorer compares to its various three-row family crossover rivals, take a look at the chart below where we stack it up against the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse, 2019 Honda Pilot, 2020 Hyundai Palisade, 2019 Subaru Ascent and 2019 Toyota Highlander. There are others of course (Mazda CX-9, Dodge Durango, GMC Acadia, VW Atlas), but we only had so much room on the chart, and these were the newest and/or most likely to be cross-shopped with the new Explorer. Engine specs and towing Although the Traverse's V6 just nips it on horsepower, the 2020 Explorer's base 2.3-liter "EcoBoost" turbocharged four-cylinder engine smokes it on torque. Therefore, "best-in-class" power seems like a fair claim from Ford. That there's also a 365-horsepower turbo V6 available, plus a hybrid and even-more powerful ST model on the way shows that Ford isn't kidding around under the hood. Curb weight also seems competitive for the segment. In terms of drivetrain, the Explorer is the only member of this particular group to come standard with rear-wheel drive (2.3-liter only). The Durango is the only other three-row, non-luxury crossover to do so. This is significant for two reasons: First, you could potentially do a power slide in an Explorer. Second, and more important, those in the Snowbelt will have to opt for all-wheel drive (it comes standard with the 3.0-liter). By contrast, a set of winter tires will probably do the job just fine if you want to save some money and gas by sticking with its rivals' standard front-wheel drive. Well, except for the Subaru Ascent — that's standard with AWD. In terms of towing, the Explorer takes the cake with as much as 5,300 pounds for the four-cylinder and 5,600 pounds for the V6. Everything else tops out at 5,000, though again, the Durango is capable of besting them all thanks to its Hemi V8 engine option.
