2000 Honda Insight Hybrid 5 Speed Manual on 2040-cars
Seward, Alaska, United States
You are looking at a 2000 Honda Insight Hybrid in excellent mechanical
condition. I purchased this vehicle in August of 2012 with 145,000
miles. The original owner drove it until 2011 and kept all maintenance
records since it was brand new. I purchased this vehicle from my dad
who typically owns two or three of these at a time; he was the second
owner. He had a new clutch put in during the short time that he owned
it. Throughout the two years that I've owned it, the only repair I've
had done is a brand new radiator, which was installed about six months
ago. I have also kept all maintenance records since I started driving
it.
I have absolutely no complaints about this vehicle. I did not intend to keep it as long as I did. But it was hard to get rid of a vehicle that gets 50 to 65 MPG. The worst city mileage I've gotten is 45. That was because I was using studded winter tires at the time. The best highway mileage I've gotten is 73 while using low rolling resistance tires. The mileage shown next to the odometer (53.3), is the lifetime mileage since the vehicle was brand new. Another unique thing about this car is its aluminum body panels. Overall, the vehicle is in good condition inside and out. The exterior shows typical wear for a vehicle of its age. The only major cosmetic issue is the weather stripping on the driver's side door. This only seems to be happening on the driver's side; the passenger side shows no evidence of wear at all. There are no rips or tears in the fabric. The interior dash and door panels are in great shape as well. Now that I am living in Alaska, I have decided to upgrade to a 4-wheel drive vehicle. I've considered keeping this as a summer vehicle, but I would prefer not to pay for insurance and maintenance on two vehicles. If you do not know much about these cars or hybrids in general, I would encourage you to do a bit of research. A good resource to check out is insightcentral.net. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 907-491-1557. Due to the fact that I do not have any transactions in my feedback history, I will not require a deposit. Thanks for looking. On Aug-28-14 at 12:42:53 PDT, seller added the following information: There are a few other things I would like to mention: -The hybrid battery is performing perfectly. I have never had any issues with the battery charging or holding its charge. And it always seems to provide enough additional horsepower to get around with ease. The only person I wouldn't recommend this vehicle to is someone who is continuously driving through the mountains. It tends to struggle going up steep hills but downshifting has always helped here. I've also noticed that the fuel economy is not as great while driving through mountains. -All four tires were installed 9,000 miles ago. ***If you win the auction and decide you do not want the vehicle after seeing it in person and driving it, I will NOT require you to go through with the purchase. No negative feedback will be left. I will either relist it or offer it to the next highest bidder.*** |

Honda Odyssey hybrid under consideration in Japan, but not US
Thu, Feb 13 2014"Over time you can expect to see broader application of our two motor hybrid system" - Sage Marie The idea of a hybrid minivan is not new, at least in Japan. Toyota sells the Estima - the world's first hybrid minivan, it has been available since 2001 - and the Aphard hybrids there. The US is not immune to the dream - in 2011, Chrysler said it was going to make a hybrid minivan in 2013 (didn't happen) - but there has never been a gas-electric minivan sold from a major automaker in the US. And, despite new rumors of a Honda Odyssey hybrid for Japan, the chances that the US will get one in the near future remain roughly at zero. A new report says Honda is considering a hybrid version of the fifth-generation Odyssey in Japan, and such a gas-electric powertrain could reduce fuel use by up to 50 percent. Honda powertrain assistant large project leader Takashi Shinchi told CarAdvice that the hybrid (not a plug-in version) is "under consideration," given the hybrid minivan competition in Japan. Such consideration is not happening in the US, at least not in any serious way. Sage Marie, senior manager of public relations for Honda North America, told AutoblogGreen, "The only thing the Japanese Odyssey and the US Odyssey have in common is the name. There are no current plans for a US Odyssey hybrid, but I will tell you that over time you can expect to see broader application of our industry-leading two motor hybrid system." The standard, gas-powered 2014 Odyssey gets 22 miles per gallon, combined (19 city and 28 highway).

Honda adds 1.39 million more vehicles to Takata recall to fix Civic and Accord
Tue, Jun 16 2015Honda is already recalling millions of vehicles in the US to replace their driver's side Takata airbag inflators, and now the company is adding 1.39 million more to repair that part on the passenger's side, as well. This expansion covers the 2001-2005 Civic and the 2003-2007 Accord with a four-cylinder engine. According to the documentation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the broadening of this campaign brings the total number of cars from Honda in need of the fix on the passenger's side to 2.3 million. Honda had previously believed that the issue with Takata passenger's side was only a regional problem for high-humidity areas. However, NHTSA determined that the components were in need of a national recall, like their driver's side counterparts. The same problem affects these as the other Takata parts where prolonged exposure to moisture could cause the propellant to ignite too quickly. This can make shrapnel shoot at occupants in an airbag deployment. Up to seven fatalities have been linked globally to this happening. Honda owners affected by the company's latest expansion to its Takata recall will be notified by mail in the next 60 days.

Nationwide recall of passenger front airbag inflators in 2001-2005 Civic and 2003-2007 Accord will add approximately 1.39 million inflators not previously subject to recall or safety improvement campaign No change to national recall of driver front airbag inflators announced on May 28 Honda today announced that it will initiate a national recall to replace, free of charge, Takata passenger front airbag inflators installed in certain 2001-2005 Civic and 2003-2007 Accord models sold in the United States following a recently announced defect determination by Takata. The recall will add 1.39 million passenger front airbag inflators not previously subject to either a recall or safety improvement campaign. In its preliminary announcement on May 28, Honda stated that it would recall a more limited population of vehicles. That announcement, which was based on the specific regional nature of the defect determination made by Takata, indicated that approximately 350,000 additional passenger front airbag inflators would be added to inflators included in an earlier regional action (14V-700).
Honda updates Takata airbag recall status for some models
Fri, 07 Nov 2014The net enveloping vehicles in the Takata airbag inflator recall just seems to keep widening. Honda is now updating its previous campaign to revise the status for even more models that were ever registered in (or originally sold in) 13 high-humidity US states and territories.
All of these vehicles were included in the company's earlier repairs. However, at the time this fix was titled "a safety improvement campaign." This latest action upgrades that condition to "a formal recall," according to Honda's official statement. The models include: the 2003-2005 Honda Accord, 2001-2005 Civic (pictured above), 2002-2005 CR-V, 2003-2004 Element, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2005 Pilot, 2006 Ridgeline, 2003-2005 Acura MDX and the 2005 Acura RL. All of these need to have their passenger-side, front airbag inflator replaced, and the recall affects Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Saipan, Guam and American Samoa.
As with the rest of these affected vehicles, it's possible in a collision for the inflator to rupture spraying metal shrapnel at occupants. There are at least 139 injuries attributed to this problem from a variety of automakers so far. Among this latest population of vehicles, Honda says there have been no confirmed injuries or fatalities related to these exploding inflators.
