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:)

2014 Honda Accord V6 Touring

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

America's midsize sedan segment is one of the most crowded and fiercely competitive in the business. The Toyota Camry has long been our nation's best seller, while the Honda Accord has dutifully come in second place, like some sort of codependent Cal Naughton Jr. riding Ricky Bobby's back bumper.
There was that one year, 2001, when the Accord briefly broke the Camry's streak, marring what would today have been a 17-year-long run of best-selling car titles. The Accord pulled the opposite move in 2011, letting sales slip far enough to let not only the Toyota by, but the Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion, as well. Aside from those anomalies, the Camry and Accord have been first and second in this segment since before many of you readers could even drive.
It's 2014, and these frenemies have never before faced a threat to their world order as strong as today's class of family sedans. The aforementioned Altima and Fusion are perhaps the most capable challengers, but the Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Volkswagen Passat and Mazda6 are all capable of convincing new buyers to walk their way.

Honda spending $13.8 million on hydrogen infrastructure with FirstElement

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Honda is partnering with FirstElement Fuel to increase the number of hydrogen refueling stations in California. The two have signed a letter of intent to provide $13.8 of financial assistance that, with some state money, could let FirstElement build "at least 12 stations." This is the second OEM that FirstElement is working with to install H2 stations in California. It signed a deal worth an unspecified amount with Toyota to help build 19 stations. State officials in California have said they are willing to spend $100 million to $200 million to build 100 hydrogen stations in the next few years. Honda says that FirstElement could build "at least 31" or them thanks to automaker and government investment. At some point after March 2016, when its new fuel cell car will go on sale in Japan, Honda will start selling the production version of the FCEV in the US. Honda hasn't disclosed a price, but the fuel cell stack has a power density of 3.1kW/L and a range of 300 miles, combined with a refueling time of three to five minutes. The vehicle is Honda's next step to its target of a 30-percent reduction (based on 2000 levels) in CO2 emissions by 2020 from its US vehicles. Earlier this year, FirstElement said that it expects hydrogen stations to become profitable in about five years. Honda Supporting Growth of California Hydrogen Network with Financial Support to FirstElement Fuel Nov 19, 2014 - TORRANCE, Calif. Honda contribution of $13.8 million will further expand and accelerate the network of public hydrogen refueling stations Funding could enable FirstElement to add at least 12 stations to its California hydrogen network Seeking to expand California's public hydrogen refueling station network as a means to support the wider introduction of fuel-cell vehicles, Honda will provide $13.8 million in financial assistance to FirstElement Fuel to build additional hydrogen refueling stations around the state. Additional state grants, combined with the Honda financing, could enable FirstElement to add at least 12 stations to its California hydrogen network. "FirstElement Fuel is providing a vital piece of what is needed for a successful launch of fuel-cell vehicles," said Steven Center, vice president of Honda's Environmental Business Development Office.

2016 Honda HR-V: Long-Term Introduction

Mon, Nov 9 2015

From the moment we first drove Honda's new HR-V, it was clear that this car would be a hit in the now-booming small crossover segment. Through October of this year, Honda moved 33,727 examples of its new HR-V, and last month alone, the CUV outsold its platform-mate Fit nearly three-and-a-half times over. Considering its importance not only for the segment, but for Honda as a brand, we knew a longer test of the cute little HR-V was in order. Enter our latest addition to the Autoblog long-term fleet, a mid-level HR-V EX with all-wheel drive. We chose EX because it's the volume model, representing the majority of the cars out on the road. Even so, it's incredibly well-equipped with 17-inch wheels, heated seats, a seven-inch infotainment system (that lacks navigation on this model), tinted windows, a sunroof, foglamps, a standard array of tech features, Honda's Lane Watch camera system, and more. Adding all-wheel drive was a no-brainer, considering Autoblog's headquarters in snowy metro Detroit, though this meant being forced to live with the continuously variable transmission. (Front-wheel-drive HR-Vs can be had with a pleasant six-speed manual.) Our car features the light cloth interior, and we'll be interested to see how it holds up over the course of a year. All in, the Alabaster Silver Metallic car you see here stickers for $24,115. All in, the Alabaster Silver Metallic car you see here stickers for $24,115, including $900 for destination. That means the HR-V is the least-expensive car we've ever had in the long-term fleet. Every HR-V comes with one powertrain: a 1.8-liter, naturally-aspirated inline-four, good for 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. That's adequate considering the 3,094-pound curb weight, and allows the HR-V to return EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 27 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway. Our car arrived with only 130 miles on the odometer, so we're going to let the engine fully break in before we start tracking our observed fuel economy data. That said, the HR-V has been a hot commodity in the Autoblog fleet ever since its arrival. In its first week on the job alone, the Honda handled a road trip to northern Michigan and helped one of our staffers move. (The Magic Seats and 55.9 cubic-feet of cargo space are fantastic, by the way – more on that in a future update.) "Control layout is a lot simpler than other recent Hondas.
