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:) |

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
2016 Honda Pilot earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ score
Fri, Aug 21 2015The 2016 Honda Pilot earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating after tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The crossover scored the agency's top Good score in all five evaluations, including the often tricky small-overlap frontal crash. The latest results give the 2016 Pilot the highest possible results from both NCAP and IIHS. In the small-overlap frontal crash, there were only four inches of intrusion in the passenger compartment, and the airbags did their job of protecting the dummy's head. Sensors showed a low risk of significant injuries. In comparison, the IIHS gave the 2015 Pilot Good scores in four tests, but the CUV had a Poor rating, the agency's lowest, in the small-overlap test. The optional Honda Sensing suite of safety functions put the Pilot over the top for the + score, and the tech earned a superior rating from the IIHS. The system combines a windshield-mounted camera and radar behind the grille and is available on the EX trim and above. It includes collision mitigating braking, a forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and road departure mitigation.

This IIHS distinction includes a top rating of GOOD in five IIHS crash test modes including a top score of GOOD in the Insurance Institute's stringent small overlap frontal crash test.
Honda MC-? prototype
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Honda is less an automaker, it has been said, and more of a motor company that builds vehicles into which to put its engines. That sort of perspective goes a long way towards explaining the mind-boggling diversity of the company's product lineup. The Japanese industrial giant makes lawnmowers, marine engines, robots... even jet aircraft. It's also one of only a handful of companies that makes both cars and motorbikes. We recently had the chance to sample something that falls in between.
It's called MC-β - shorthand for Micro Commuter Beta, which already tells you it's Honda's second stab at the formula. The first Micro Commuter prototype was announced a year prior and, though marginally larger, struck us as a more complete product than its successor. But it'll likely still be a while before the formula is perfected and put into production, and even then it isn't likely to find its way any time soon to Honda's American showrooms - whether those showrooms are selling cars, bikes or ride-on mowers.
