2001 Honda Insight. The automobile drives perfectly strait down the road.. and runs great.   It is from the Carolina’s. I have been the owner of the car for about 2 years I am guessing.  I needed a car with great fuel economy… great dependability.. and the best one I could find was the Honda insight.. with over 50 mpg. It lives up to its standards.   Being that the car is made out of aluminum, from top to bottom, one will not have to be concerned about the car becoming a rust bucket.   It has new spark plugs. Oil changes are done with the best oil available.  The timing belt is a chain.. so you don’t have to change it like regular Honda auto’s.  When I purchased it.. it had a dent on the car. It looked like a car backed into the area just past the passenger door.. and I had it fixed correctly.  The dealership I purchased the car through.. could not find me a stick shift Honda insight in blue.  They were all on the west coast…and mostly automatic.  I desired one in a stick shift for the better miles per gallon.  I feel the  stick shift is more dependable..  and more fun to drive.  The only problem was the one they did find in the Carolina’s was a salvage title.. because the insurance company did not want to fix the dent for the previous owner. I looked at pictures and decided the damage was so small, that it would be worth fixing. I had it inspected and Honda said I needed a new hybrid battery because it was 11 years old.. even though it drove fine.. so I had it replaced along with an o2 sensor.  The car will now and then get a check engine light code that says the cataletic converter is on its way out. right now the light is not on.. but it will probably come back..  That converter is 200 dollars new on ebay if someone chooses to replace it.  The Honda shifts well. Clutch is great.  There is a smaller check mark shaped scratch on the right rear of the back bumper..noticeable close up. a  couple of  little scratches and some nicks around the car  and some stone chips on the front of the car.. and a little scrape on the front bumper cover's clear coat.. hardly noticeable..  There is one tiny ding on the car that I noticed on the driver’s door.. too small to get a picture of it...  Most of the stuff is only noticeable from a foot away. The car looks great otherwise.. The windshield had a small crack.. so I replaced it.  There is no warranty on the car.  The ABS brakes work fine.. brakes have been checked and have plenty of life in them.. and stop very well.  The tires are good. The electronics inside the vehicle work well.  It still has the original cassette radio in it....  The air conditioning works great.  This car has been more dependable than any car I have had prior, and I would not be selling this car if I could fit more family members into it.  I still get people pointing at.. and complimenting the Honda which tells me that it still looks pretty good. Please stop by and take the car for a ride if you desire.  (440) 759-9683.  I have tried to describe all the little things wrong with the car the best I could.

               

P.S.  I have purchased a hybrid battery grid charger for the vehicle.. and will throw that in with the car if the price of the car goes above $3,500.00… If the charger gets installed.. It just allows someone to plug the car into a wall outlet to keep the hybrid battery at peak performance.  This charger is a permanent part of the car once installed.. and will only fit this style Honda Insight. It has instructions and should be installed by a mechanic facility.  The car doesn't actually need the charger.. the car itself handles charging the battery as it is driven.  Its just an extra item for better miles per gallon and ensuring the hybrid battery lasts as long as possible:)

Honda previews next-gen JDM Odyssey minivan

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Some automakers market the same cars around the world, while others offer different models - even under the same nameplate - for different markets. We're thinking of cars like the Volkswagen Passat or the previous Mazda6. Honda's been known to do so as well, with models like the Accord and Odyssey, which are completely different in North America than they are in other parts of the world.
Now Honda has provided the first glimpse at the Odyssey minivan it offers for the Japanese Domestic Market (as well as Europe and other parts of the world). Though more compact than the US-market version, the new overseas Odyssey appears larger than the model it replaces, with a taller roofline increasing interior space.
Though Honda hasn't released the model's full specifications, power is expected to come from a 2.4-liter inline-four mated to a continuously variable transmission. Beyond that, buyers will likely be able to choose between front- and all-wheel drive, two cabin layouts, two interior colors and seven or more exterior paints. The images also point towards blind-spot and auto-braking systems and an apparent eco mode. Although unconfirmed, we expect to see the new JDM Odyssey make its debut at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show.

Honda motorcycles most stolen, just like Honda autos

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

It comes as no surprise that Honda's Civic and Accord are the most stolen cars in America, but as it turns out, thieves like the company's motorcycles the most too, according to a study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). Out of the 46,061 two-wheelers stolen in 2012, 9,082 of them were Hondas. While that's bad news for Honda motorcycle owners, at least motorcycle theft went down slightly from 2011, which had 46,667 reported thefts. Motorcycle theft recoveries, on the other hand, were just 39 percent.
Yamaha is up next in the theft rankings (7,517), then Suzuki (7,017). The numbers drop a bit for fourth and fifth place, Kawasaki (4,839) and Harley-Davidson (3,755). These five brands are far and away the most stolen motorcycles: sixth place, apparently held by scooter, dirtbike and ATV maker Taotao, dropped to 914 theft reports.
California had the most reported thefts (6,082), followed by Florida (4,110), Texas (3,400), North Carolina (2,574) and Indiana (2,334). By city, New York City had the most reported thefts (903), followed by Las Vegas (757), San Diego (633), Indianapolis (584) and Miami (535.

Honda launches new Fit in Japan, has big expectations for North America

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

Honda has officially launched the Fit sub-compact in its home market, ahead of its eventual arrival in North America. The third-generation Fit is wildly important for Honda, with the company's president, Takanobu Ito, saying, "This is the most important model."
The third-generation Fit is a ground-up reworking of the car that we've come to know. It will pioneer Honda's new design language, Exciting H Design (seriously) and will also be the very first Fit to be manufactured in North America. Thanks to a Mexican factory that is scheduled to open in the spring of 2014, Honda will be able to produce 200,000 Fits for the North American market in North America, saving the brand a huge amount of cash.
As for that Exciting H Design, it's meant to be sleeker and more modern, according to Automotive News. It's not bad looking, but the overall design is far less important than what's under that hood. The vehicle you see above is a Fit RS, which has quite a resemblance to the rumored Fit Mugen. There's not a lot of detail on this model, but based on looks alone, we certainly hope it'll be coming to the North American market - it'd make a great Fit Sport. A hybrid variant will also come to the US market, and that car is returning impressive numbers on the Japanese cycle: 86 miles per gallon so far, thanks to the combination of an 1.5-liter, Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine and a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission. That's a 35-percent improvement over the current, JDM Fit Hybrid.
