For your consideration, here's my 2004 Honda Element EX in excellent condition with very low original miles…… 55,030. Straight, incredibly reliable and regularly maintained by Milex Auto Service Center in Tucson (all service records are included in the sale). I purchased my Element in March 2012 after a long search for one with a manual transmission….. they're hard to find. When I located this gem, it had 48,587 original miles and an AutoCheck score of 95…. one owner, no accidents, no issues, confirmed odometer check. What a find!….. it's been one of the best autos I've ever owned. The 5 speed manual is peppy versus the sluggish automatic version and makes you feel like you're driving the Element rather than it driving you. The engine is strong, the body is straight, interior is clean (no rips in seats like many you see), smooth tranny, 4 Goodyear Integrity tires, 16" alloy wheels, excellent EX version AM/FM/CD audio system……. factory color is Satin Silver Metallic. Because the Element has spent its life in Texas and now Arizona, there's no rust. It comes with the original 2004 Owner's Manual, original shift knob (a replacement is currently installed), two keys and one remote, factory mud guards (front & rear) and factory pin striping. I love this versatile SUV, and the only reason I'm selling it is I've recently restored a 1968 Ford Bronco, thus we now have 3 cars…… my wife has a 2007 Honda Element EX with automatic transmission (she prefers auto to manual, otherwise I'd keep this Element). In the April 2014 Consumer Report (page 96), they gave the 2004 Honda Element their top used car Reliability Rating (along with the 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010 & 2011 Elements). That said, what we have here is a top-rated, regularly maintained, straight, rust-free Honda Element EX with only 55,030 original miles….. how often do these come around?

Okay, now the tedious stuff…… payment must be made via an official bank check or bank wire….. please do not bid if the funds aren't immediately available. The Honda cannot be picked up until the funds have cleared. Insurance and shipping arrangements and fees are the responsibility of the buyer…… I will drive the Element to the trucker if the rig is nearby. The other option is you come to Tucson and drive it home…… the last two vehicles I sold on eBay (a 1965 Mercedes 220 SE and 1995 Jeep Wrangler) were picked up in that way. The Honda must be picked up within 14 days of winning bid unless prior arrangements are made. The Element is sold AS IS with no warranty of any kind. I reserve the right to advertise the Element locally and end the auction early if it sells. If you have questions, please ask them prior to bidding via eBay's mail system or by phone…….. 520-395-0565. If you are in the area and wish to see the Element, that can be arranged. Good luck and happy bidding!

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.

Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000

Tue, 07 May 2013

There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.

Honda CR-V caught wearing facelift in Europe

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

A few years on from its 2011 debut, the current Honda CR-V is preparing to go under the knife for a refresh. Typical of these sort of mid-cycle deals, the changes for Honda's popular CUV are minor.
The front of the car is home to the most dramatic (a relative term here) changes, with revised headlights sporting what looks like a slimmer profile. The three-bar grille has been heavily tweaked and is now a two-bar item, with a larger lower bar and a nose badge that covers both upper and lower sections.
The fascia itself has been modified with what looks like a larger lower intake, while the foglights have gone from the circular pattern of the current car to a rectangular pattern on the facelifted model. It looks like they'll still sport conventional bulbs, although the shape of the lights themselves look like a natural fit for a set of LED running lights (as is the trend).
