2012 - Honda Accord on 2040-cars
Jennerstown, Pennsylvania, United States
2012 Honda Accord EX-L Coupe 2-Door 3.5L 6 Speed Manual Trans w/Leather Additional photographs at the bottom of the listing. This coupe is practically, as new, it still has the new car smell and in like new mechanical condition. Purchased in August 2012, it is my go south car for the winter. It has never seen snow and always garaged and covered with the included Honda Accord Full Car cover. Mechanically she is flawless. Mobil 1 ever since the first oil change at around 1K Miles. Oil is usually time change with 80-90% oil life remaining and I only use OEM Honda Parts. Oil service due this month and tire rotation will be accomplished before buyer takes delivery. Brakes are excellent and flawless. All interior comfort features function. The independently controlled heat and cooling work flawlessly. The fuel economy is exceptional for a car this size, she has only had 16 stops at the gas station averaging around 34MPG at legal highway speeds and gets around 29MPG around town using Sunoco 93 Octane fuel(not required but always used). It actually does better than my 07' Civic Si. You will not find a more stunning example of this car anywhere on eBay. Full description of factory equipment at the end of this listing. The full Honda bumper to bumper warranty is in effect till 09/2015. That's 36 Months or 36,000 Miles, whichever comes first. When this Accord Coupe was purchased, several options, I felt necessary, were installed. Suspension and Tires: Having owned a 2009 Coupe, always appreciated the fine mix of comfort and performance but for serious highway cruising I always felt the suspension was lacking. Toss the Accord coupe around and it will push into corners, which is to be expected from a front-wheel driver weighing in at 3,400 pounds and the factory installed all-season tires don't help. The Honda Factory Performance (HFP) Suspension Package. Before taking delivery, the dealer installed the HFP struts, revised springs and rear control arms. Mated to the new suspension were new wheels and shoes. Not only are the HFP wheels attractive, especially with the coupe's Polished Metal Metallic paint, but functionally permitted the installation of aggressive low profile 245/40ZR19s Michelin's Pilot Super Sport Max Performance Summer Tires. I can't say enough about these tires but have included a short Michelin propaganda note at the bottom of the listing. This alone with an expert 4 wheel laser alignment (Specs Included) was $5,012.10 and is the best performance enhancement you can make to this coupe. Coupled with the last year of the Double Wishbone Front Suspension(12' last year, no longer available) and the Multi-Link Rear Suspension turns this coupe into a drama free highway cruiser comfortable at any speed. Most stunning Accord Coupe anywhere, a conversation piece no matter where I stop. Appearance: This 2012 Accord Coupe has a more aerodynamic front fascia. The fog lights are set into deeper scallops and a larger lower air intake and a bolder grill. At the rear, the taillights are more chiseled, their sides getting a protruding ridge that follow the body character line. Even though the updates enhance this coupes' handsomeness, I had the dealer install appearance package that really brings out her character. You just can not beat the Honda Factory upgrade components, The Body Side Molding, Molded Side Spoilers, Front Under Spoiler and Rear Under Spoiler establish a unique and aggressive appearance package all color matched to the beautiful factory Polished Metal Metallic paint. Well worth the investment of $2,752.14 and all components are warranted for the same factory period. Overall Driving Experience: This coupe is an absolute joy to drive. The heated front buckets are firm, logging several 12 hour days in the coupe were effortless. There's a surprising amount of room in the back seat for two average-size adults. The added Honda Interior Illumination Kit (Blue) makes driving through the night very comfortable. The Hands Free Bluetooth interface works flawlessly allowing you to conduct a conversation while on the highway. The engine spools quickly and the throttle response is immediate from just about anywhere in the RPM band. As the tachometer needle passes 4,900 rpm, the VTEC transitions to a high-lift, long-duration intake-cam profile for exceptional power at high-rpm. No wonder Honda’s 3.5L V-6 earned its fourth Ward’s 10 Best Engines trophy since 2005. The motor is coupled to the Honda Close-Ratio ultra slick 6-Speed Manual transmission. Going up and down the gears is a cinch with the hydraulically assisted clutch. The upgraded suspension lowers the entire car and with the Michelin Super Sport rubber provides unrivaled handling performance for a car in this class. She feels decidedly comfortable at any speed without the hint of floating or diving. Quiet, sleek, fast, powerful, beautiful are just some of the adjectives that come to mind. You will not be disappointed.

NHTSA gives okay for three automakers to skirt tire-related recalls
Thu, 25 Jul 2013BMW, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz are all going to avoid small recalls, after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued petitions for "findings of inconsequential noncompliance" to the three manufacturers, according to Tire Business. Basically, the petitions allow the brands to avoid recalls for some very, very minor issues.
BMW had tire placards on 364 X6 M CUVs that stated the car could only handle four passengers, when in reality it had room for three in the back. Actual plausibility of fitting three real humans in the slope-roofed Bimmer aside, the Munich-based manufacturer argued it was inconsequential, as the placards were correct regardless of the number of passengers.
Honda's case focused on 212 2011 and 2012 Acura TSX sedans equipped with 18-inch wheels. The TPMS systems on these cars were set for 17-inch wheels, rather than the larger hoops, but even with the lower settings, the tires maintain adequate load capacity.
Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe
Thu, Oct 16 2014BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
Honda Expands Takata Airbag Recall To 5.4M Units In The US
Tue, Dec 9 2014While Honda already announced plans to take its front driver's side Takata airbag inflator recall nationwide, the automaker has now officially reported on the number of affected vehicles and the specific models in need of repair. The expanded campaign covers an estimated 5.4 million units across the US, including those already being fixed under the previous regional actions. That number is an expansion of the five million units initially reported by NHTSA. The affected models under the nationwide recall are the 2001-2007 Accord with a four-cylinder engine, 2001-2002 Accord V6, 2001-2005 Civic, 2002-2006 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2007 Pilot, 2006 Ridegline, 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2002-2003 TL and 2002 CL. For customers who expressed concern about their vehicle's safety, Honda had already been replacing the inflators nationwide. It's possible for the inflators in these vehicles to rupture when inflating the airbag, spraying metal fragments at occupants. This problem has been blamed for at least five deaths worldwide and at least 139 reported injuries. In its statement, Honda said that it worked with Takata to test the recalled inflators in the original high-humidity recall regions, and there were no abnormal deployments in these evaluations. Honda will begin notifying owners by "over time," according to its statement. Priority will be put on the geographic areas with the highest risk of ruptures. Those in the original recall region were contacted in September. Earlier in December, Honda partnered with Autoliv to supply the automaker with replacement inflators for this campaign. Autoliv predicted it would take six months for deliveries to start. Takata also increased its production of substitute components. Scroll down to read the company's announcement of this nationwide expansion. Statement by American Honda Regarding National Safety Improvement Campaign: Driver's Front Airbag Inflator Supplied by Takata Dec 8, 2014 - TORRANCE, Calif. Honda will voluntarily expand a regional Safety Improvement Campaign initiated in June 2014 (NHTSA No. 14V-351) into a national Safety Improvement Campaign affecting certain 2001 through 2011 Honda and Acura vehicles in the United States to replace the driver frontal airbag inflator, free of charge. Honda is expanding this Safety Improvement Campaign to address concerns raised by its customers whose vehicles were not included in the regional campaign.
