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)

Xcar samples the new Honda Civic Type R

Mon, Jun 8 2015

Honda is in the midst of launching the long-awaited new Civic Type R into an increasingly competitive hot-hatch market – in Europe, at least – and naturally had the good sense to invite Xcar to come and drive it. After a lengthy gestation period, Honda finally unveiled the new Type R at the Geneva Motor Show just a few months ago, driving 306 horsepower to the front wheels through an old-school six-speed manual transmission. That's more muscle than you'd get in just about any front-drive hot hatch to date, including the Volkswagen GTI, Seat Leon Cupra, and Renaultsport Megane 275 - not to mention some all-wheel drive machinery like the VW Golf R and Subaru WRX STI (if only by a nose). All of that adds up to a recipe for one heck of a ride if we've ever seen one, and we'll have our own impressions on how it drives soon enough. But if "soon enough" can't come soon enough for you, check out the video above to see what Xcar has to say about it.

Wolff: Honda will emerge as strong F1 force

Sat, Feb 13 2016

Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff has no doubts that Honda will make a success of its Formula 1 return, despite the Japanese manufacturer's disappointing time last year. Honda endured a troubled return to F1 in 2015 as it struggled with reliability and a lack of power from its new turbo V6 hybrid engine. But having made gains over the campaign, and a significant revamp of key elements of its power unit over the winter, Wolff thinks that Honda is on course to deliver. "Honda is a huge organization with lots of resource, and they were the power unit with the most impressive development curve through 2015," Wolff said in an interview with his Mercedes team's YouTube channel. "Even if it was a very difficult year for them, it was still very good what they achieved in terms of how they progressed through the season. I have no doubt they will be a strong competitive in the future." Wolff's comments come despite Mercedes engine chief Andy Cowell saying last week that he was not convinced that Honda's 'size zero' concept was the right approach for the current regulations. Manor step As well as predicting good things for Honda in the future, Wolff has predicted promising results for the Mercedes-powered Manor team in 2016. "Manor will make a big step up and not only because of the engine," said Wolff, who helped secure a drive at the Banbury-based team for Mercedes junior driver Pascal Wehrlein. "There is a good bunch of people coming together: impressive individuals, with the right budget and right attitude, and Pascal in the car. "I have confidence that the car and driver will have highlights and be a solid midfield runner."

2017 Honda Civic Type R mule sports sweet exhaust

Fri, Sep 4 2015

The 2016 Honda Civic might be one the most-spied cars in recent memory, but the wait to actually see the new model is just a few days away on Sept. 16. That big reveal is only for the sedan, but these fresh shots show a sporty variant of the five-door that our spies speculate could preview bits of the next-gen Civic Type R. These photos seem to show the same variant recently spotted in Spain, but there are some notable differences and better angles here. Up front, the styling still shows the same Acura-like design as the patent drawings, but these images make it much easier to spot the narrow mesh in the grilles of the lower air dam. The major change along the side is the new set of big, black wheels with low-profile tires, and this setup fits the style much better than the earlier car. Plus, you can easily spot larger front brake discs and a Brembo logo on the caliper this time. Thankfully, these photos provide a much better look at the earlier example's weird, center-mounted exhaust layout, too. It appears that the larger pipes on the outside each have their own muffler, but there doesn't appear to be one for the smaller outlet in the middle. There's still the possibility this could be a way of testing the single-exit design from the 2016 Civic concept. We know the next-gen Civic will be offered as a sedan, coupe, and five-door. Plus, Si and Type R trims will eventually join the lineup. At the current rate of spy shots, we'll see them all well before their respective reveals. Related Video:
