SELLING MY AWESOME CAR SYLVIA!! Sylvia is a 1996 Honda Civic DX with only 86k original miles. She is a super peppy fun to drive 5 speed manual transmission. I love her very much and will be sad to see her go. WHY I AM SELLING HER: I commute two hours a day 3 to 4 days a week and just wanted something newer and more comfortable. The biggest downside to Sylv is that she has NO A/C. It's not broken, she just never had one because she was born in San Francisco where A/C is not needed and it's kind of a necessity in Louisiana! There is "air" that blows but it's not air conditioning. It's better than nothing:) The heat on the other hand works great. I'll go ahead and tell you everything else about her. PROS: She runs perfectly. I wouldn't hesitate to drive her across country. I have been driving her to and from work (55 miles each way) several days a week with absolutely no issues. She has hardly any miles and Civics are known to run forever too. I have had her for about a year and a half. In that time I have put over 10k miles on her and she has never been in the shop once except to get new tires and an alignment--two new back tires (only a few weeks old!) and the front ones are in fine shape too! She gets amazing gas mileage. It costs $30 to fill the tank and that lasts forever. The back seat folds down and you would not believe how much can fit in there! I've had her oil changed regularly and her Louisiana safety inspection is good through October. She is compact and can easily fit into crazy small parking spaces too:) CONS: No A/C as I mentioned. Also, there is a small dent on a front fender but it's no biggie. Only one of the car speakers works but there is a cord that has come unattached that is probably not a big deal to fix. Someone snapped off her antenna in the the French Quarter but the coat hanger works fine:) There are a couple small spots where the paint has chipped on the hood and some rust has developed so it needs a little touch up there.
I bought Sylvia in New Orleans from a nice guy a year and a half ago. He had driven it from San Fran to use while he went to school at Tulane for a year, but was moving back so didn't need it anymore. It was his uncle's. His uncle had won it in a golf tournament when it was new in 1996 then it stayed in S.F. and was only an occasional driver hence the low miles. The original license plate was "ACE ONE":) She's lucky!! He was all bleary eyed and sad as I drove her away, as I will be when she sells. You will LOVE this car. She is special.

Honda to dub Fit-based as HR-V for North America

Sun, 06 Apr 2014

You may remember it as the Urban SUV (pictured above) from when it debuted in concept form at the Detroit Auto Show last year, or know it as the Vezel as the production version was unveiled for the Japanese Domestic Market at the 2014 Tokyo Motor Show. But when Honda starts exporting its new Fit-based crossover - or better yet, building it in Mexico for North American consumption - it will be called the HR-V.
This news comes courtesy of Honda enthusiast forum Temple of VTEC. When contacted by Autoblog, Honda spokesmen declined to comment on the veracity of the report, saying only that it would "announce the name in the near future," but the handle fits with what we know about Honda's history with compact crossovers. The previous HR-V (which was not available in the States) was a high-riding, squared-off crossover built between 1999 and 2006 and based on the Fit's predecessor, the Honda Logo.
While the HR-V moniker might not have name recognition in North America, it would in Europe where Honda also hopes its new crossover will find eager customers. It will also fit in nicely below the CR-V that will continue on as the HR-V's larger stablemate.

Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says

Fri, Jun 5 2015

The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.

NHTSA Probes Nearly 400,000 Infiniti, Honda Vehicles Over Steering Faults

Tue, Nov 11 2014

As many as 391,000 vehicles from Honda and Infiniti may eventually need to be recalled as a result of two, separately announced Preliminary Evaluations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to ascertain the scope of the potential safety hazards. In one of the queries, NHTSA is looking into 24 reports from drivers of the 2013 Honda Accord who say they had total loss of their power steering or experienced a sudden increase in the necessary effort to turn the wheel. In four cases, the problem may be linked to crashes. According to the claims, 13 people reported seeing a warning message during the failure. Turning off the car and restarting it would fix the issue in some cases. If a recall is necessary, it could affect an estimated 374,000 Accords. The second investigation is much smaller in scope. The safety agency is investigating the 2008 Infiniti EX35 after two complaints of the steering wheel shaft separating and the vehicle losing the ability to steer. Both reports say the steering became loose when driving and then completely failed once the vehicle was stopped. A recall for the problem would affect an estimated 17,000 vehicles.
