If you want a very well cared for, one owner (prior to myself,) original, true survivor, 5-speed Honda Insight, read on! I have owned many First Gen Honda Insights over the last 6 years or so. I am not a dealer. I am an obsessed insight fanatic (private owner.) This particular Insight has spent it's whole life in Massachusetts (except for me over the last 10 months.) It is a very clean example! This is further evidenced by it's super clean carfax report. I have done a ton of work to get this car where it is today. Mechanically: here's just some of the list (using all honda parts:) high voltage battery pack (6 months ago,) new egr valve, transmission rebuilt, new upper and lower o2 sensors, catalytic converter and exhaust gaskets, new windshield, new brake rotors and ceramic pads, both drive axles, both hubs/bearings, new spark plugs, cleaned egr plate, transmission mount, new fuel injectors, new wipers and wiper arms, trip meter button, new trunk actuator, hatch struts, new window switches (including operable auto-down,) grid charger harness, clutch interrupt circuit, regenerative braking circuit, throttle smoothing circuit, etc, etc. Cosmetically: rear view mirror, heater knob, antenna, A-pillar trim clips, pedal covers, steering wheel, rear hatch carpeting, rear net, both driver's and passenger's seats (bottoms and backs,) wipers and arms, new door to window outside trims (both left and right sides,) floor mats, middle mat netting, interior door handles, correct 165/65/14 Bridgestone re92 low rolling resistance tires, all 3 front underbody panels, all new decals, etc, etc. This car is equipped with the rare 4-speaker stereo option, and sounds great! I totally steam cleaned the car's interior (as I do all my insights, but it hardly needed it.) All the rubber is perfect, (around the doors, rear hatch, hood, etc.) The battery pack charges, discharges, and performs flawlessly. I recently replaced the HV battery pack and it performs exactly as it should (in March.) While replacing it, I wired the HV pack for my digital grid charger (as I do all my insights,) and cycle the pack regularly. For those not in the know, grid charging the pack peaks and equalizes the cells within the pack. This is extremely good for the battery, and prolongs it's life and health greatly. To read more about my grid chargers, see my ebay item # 301253131748. The car has the factory owner's manual, key and the remote. Transmission-wise, it shifts perfectly with no synchro grind or bearing noise issues whatsoever (rebuilt 7k miles ago.) The clutch and slave cylinder are perfect too. I recently did a full oil and filter change with the correct Mobil1 0w-20 oil, and a full transmission fluid change, as well. Accessory-wise, everything works exactly as it should; ice cold a/c, heater, blower fan, power windows and switches, power locks and switches, turn signals, every bulb inside and out, all the dash including the trip meter, horn, turn signals, stock Honda am/fm/cassette stereo, (rare 4 speaker option, with great sound,) rear trunk release actuator, rear trunk lock, hatch struts, wipers, squirters, etc, etc. Super clear, non-fogged headlights, etc, etc. There are only small cosmetic imperfections (as would be expected on any car.) Nothing major. No check engine lights at all! I recently had the car fully New York State inspected (includes all safety equipment, lights, brakes, emissions, computer, etc.) It passed all with no problems whatsoever. I have brand new floor mats for the car too! This car is a super nice example, with all the highly desirable mods (clutch interupt, regenerative braking, throttle smoothing circruits, and I'm including one of my brand new digital grid chargers with the car, too! (A $700 value!) All jack equipment and spare tire are in place and nice. I have the clean and clear transferable title, with no liens, in my name. I have done a lot of work to this car to get it exactly where it should be, and as you see it now. It has been my daily driver for the last 10 months, and I planned to keep it. I am only selling it because my wife likes the color of our blue one better! I know these fist gen Honda Insights like the back of my hand, have owned 33 of them now, and do all my own work on them (over 30 years of automotive schooling and experience,) and do not scrimp, always using correct factory Honda parts, right down to the last correct Honda screw. There in nothing missing or inoperable, and NO surprises with this car! You can drive it from N.Y. to CA. 10 times over if you want; it is that reliable. So, if you want the best first gen 5-speed for your money, look no further. Can you buy an insight cheaper? Yup. But what you save in initial costs, you'll put back into the car fixing the stuff it needs, both mechanically and cosmetically (believe me, I know!) This is where the old saying, "You get what you pay for" holds quite true! Any questions at all, feel free to call me directly at 716-946-6070. Thanks for your time and consideration! Respectfully, Chris in Gasport, N.Y. (14067) PS: I also have a couple other very rare first gen 5-speed Honda Insights I'll be selling as well, if you're looking for a true collector/investment insight: 2000 Citrus Metallic 5-speed w/80k original miles, fully redone inside and out, new paint, wired for grid charger, new battery, and new matching citrus & grey seats. Tons of work (like the above listed) to get it as perfect as can be! I build and offer other extremely useful mods for these 2000-06 first gen Honda Insights cars, as well. Some of which include: Honda Insight Grid Charger / New Internal LED Meter w/ Lifetime Warranty & Free Installation (see ebay item # 301253131748.) Clutch Interrupt Circuit (see ebay item #301232998985.) Regenerative Braking Circuit (see ebay item # 301232999246.) Brand New OEM Honda Insight Citrus & Grey Seat Covers (see ebay item # 300932249369.) Stainless Steel Dead Pedal / Footrest (see ebay item # 291039568254.) Honda Insight Spun Aluminum Moon Disc Set (see ebay item # 301222697523.) Throttle Smoothing Circuit for 2000-06 5-speeds (see ebay item # 301232999136.) And soon to come: Brand New OEM Honda Insight Aqua & Grey Seat Covers Brand New OEM Honda Insight Orange & Grey Seat Covers NOTE: I can add any of these options to the car that you'd like prior to pick up!

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6. Cars Acura NSX Alfa Romeo Giulia Audi A4 Audi R8 Bentley Mulsanne Buick Cascada Buick LaCrosse Cadillac CT6 Chevrolet Bolt Chevrolet Cruze Fiat 124 Genesis G90 Hyundai Elantra Infiniti Q60 Jaguar XE Kia Cadenza Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Mercedes-Benz S550 Maybach Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class Mini Clubman Mitsubishi Mirage/G4 Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman Rolls-Royce Dawn Toyota Prius Prime Volvo S90 SUVs Audi Q7 Bentley Bentayga Buick Envision Cadillac XT5 Chrysler Pacifica GMC Acadia Infiniti QX30 Kia Sportage Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class Jaguar F-Pace Mazda CX-9 Nissan Armada Trucks Ford F-Series Super Duty pickups Ford F-150 Raptor Honda Ridgeline Nissan Titan half-ton Related Video: Featured Gallery Bentley Bentayga View 23 Photos News Source: Automotive News - sub.
Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
Mid-engine Honda sports car surfaces in EU patent drawings
Wed, Jul 19 2017Based on new patent drawings, Honda clearly isn't done with sports cars. The design you see above was registered and published by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and was first reported by AutoGuide. The drawings show a rakish, angular sports car design that is very clearly mid-engine. It could almost pass for a Lamborghini. But the name on the design is Honda Motor Company, and aside from the name, it bares a strikingly similar appearance to a mid-engine design found in a Honda patent two years ago. In fact, the only major difference between this car and the older one (seen below) is the lack of a windshield and top. The shape of the lights and the grille, as well as the front fender vent and character lines running from it, are reminiscent of the S660 kei roadster for Japan. The large, angular intakes look more related to the Acura NSX, though. View 6 Photos Unlike the previous patent renderings of the car, this one has an interior, and the inclusion of it may be why the top and windshield are absent. The interior also leads us to believe that this design is for an upcoming concept. The steering wheel is a small, rectangular piece similar to what you would find in an F1 car or Indy car. The seats also look like thin buckets designed to be as sporty and light as possible. A production version would probably have a bit more cushioning and a round wheel. It does look like there is a pushbutton transmission setup in the center console like current Acuras, though. So what does this mean? Honda is clearly still working on this design, and based on some of the more radical design choices for the interior, we're likely looking at a concept car that will show up in the next couple of years. Whether a concept will lead to a production car is tough to say. There's definitely room in Honda's global sports car roster between the S660 and NSX for something in between, and Honda has reported that it's getting pressure from dealers for sporty cars. The exterior design isn't so extreme it couldn't be tweaked for production, either. There have also been rumors that Honda is preparing a mid-engine hybrid sports car with the Type R's turbocharged four-cylinder. Honda also holds a trademark for the name "ZSX," which fits the naming scheme of the NSX and old RSX, but at least in Europe, Honda has held the trademark since 2009. We'll just have to wait and see what Honda does.
