I purchased this car in July of 2011 from a dealer in Missouri.  After purchasing the car I had my local Honda Dealer go through all of the items that would need to be repaired now or in the near future to ensure that the car would be reliable.  I have all of the receipts from the work I have had done to the car.  All of the parts are Honda Original Equipment and have been installed by the dealer.  The IMA Battery was replaced on 3/14/11 when the car had 70,989 miles on it.  The only reason I am selling the car is because we need something with four doors.  With gas prices approaching $4.00 for Regular Unleaded the car will quickly save you a significant amount of money in fuel.  My best trip was from Austin, TX to Dallas, TX with 72.1 MPG, with around town driving I typically get about 56 MPG.  These are real world numbers.  There are several modifications that can be made to these cars that allow you to get significantly better numbers.  The car has the original OEM Honda Cassette deck but includes upgraded POLK speakers (I also have the original speakers which will be included, and the new speakers were a directly fit with no modifications required to the car) there is also a Blitzsafe Honda adapter which allows you to connect a portable MP3 player or your phone to the radio.  This car also has the leather wrapped steering wheel from an Acura installed.  This car also includes a grid charger which I have only used four times, anytime I am out of town for more than a week I would put the grid charger on a timer.  Title in hand, this car is ready to go!

Pros

Acura RSX Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel Installed

Two recently installed Bridgestone RE92 tires (all tires are Bridgestone RE92) this is the only tire you want on this car

Extra OEM Wheel I have a total of five (5) full size OEM wheels plus the spare, all full size wheels are outfitted with Bridgestone RE92 tires. All 5 are included in the auction.

Upgraded Polk Speakers (perfect OEM fit - no modifications made to the car to install them), Original Speakers also included.

Blitzsafe Honda Adapter for attaching an mp3 player or cell phone

Always serviced by Honda Dealer with Genuine Honda Parts

Rare 5-speed Transmisison

LOW Miles

Hybrid Battery replaced less than 9,000 miles ago

Grid Charger installed

I have removed and cleaned out the EGR Plate (a common problem on the Insight), last year I installed new Honda OEM Spark Plugs (correctly matched for each cylinder), new Cabin and engine Air Filters.

Documented Service History, Clean CarFax

This car has the rear-wiper delete, the original wiper and motor will be included.

All new under-engine cover (Most cars are missing the under engine/under body cover panels, when I bought this car they were missing.  I replaced all of them, it had a noticeable difference on fuel economy)

Cons

There are some scratches on the drivers side wheel cover, I bought another wheel cover but it too would need to be repainted. I will include the additional wheel cover. Because I had planned on either replacing or repainting the wheel cover I also bought the black trim stickers for both sides from Honda, which I will include.

Heat shield on Catalytic Coverter rusted (Strange because the rest of the undercarriage looks great, the heat shield however was made out of steel and has rusted.  It has no impact on the operation of the car and to be clear its just the heat shield that is rusted, not the catalytic converter).

This is a two-seat car

Blemish in passenger seat cover (I bought another perfect seat cover that I am including if the blemish bothers you you can replace the seat cover I also have the pins that are required)

Hole under drivers side carpet.  (Honda no longer sells the drivers side floor mat, so most of these cars end up with a hole in the drivers side floor.  I have another used carpet that I am including if you decide to replace the existing carpet, Honda also no longer sells the carpet for this car.)

I also have one new Honda OEM Oil Filter, and 2.6 Quarts of Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil for your next oil change that I will include. This car only uses 2.6 Quarts of Oil.

Recently Completed Service History

On July 25, 2011 I had First Texas Honda do an Oil Change, Transmission Oil Change, and Coolant Service when they did the Texas State Inspection.  At this time I also asked the dealer if they could inspect the battery and they told me that it was replaced on 3/14/11.  Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-07-25_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On July 26, 2011 I purchased a new passenger floor mat, misc bolts/screws/nuts, and a new EGR. Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-07-25_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On August 22, 2011 Due to a Service Bulletin Honda Installed a New PCM 37820-PCM-HON this was done under warranty http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-08-22_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On October 9, 2011 I ordered a PCV valve, and Air Conditioner/Alternator belt.  Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-10-09_Majestic_Honda_Parts.PDF

On Novermber 12, 2011 I purchased two Bridgestone Original Equipment RE92 tires and had them mounted and balanced by the Honda Dealer, I also had the car aligned at the time.  Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-11-12_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On May 25, 2012 Replaced the motor mount, fixed A/C leak, recharged A/C, fixed rattling heat shield.  http://nptrental.com/Insight/2012-05-25_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

2015 Honda Fit set for Detroit reveal

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

We've got one more debut confirmed for next month's Detroit Auto Show, as Honda has announced that it will be showing off the 2015 Fit in the Motor City. Honda has released a singular image of the new Fit's rear taillight, above.
From the sole image, we can see that the American-spec Fit will share at least its taillights with the Japanese variant, which we've helpfully included an image of to the right. Now, technically, the blue car to the right is the Fit Hybrid, a car we aren't expecting to see in the US market. But the gallery of images we've included below should give those interested in the car a very good idea of what the new Fit will look like when it hits the auto show stage next month.
As for what will be under hood when it debuts in January, Honda is touting its Earth Dreams Technology engine, which we take to mean some sort of four-cylinder, gas-powered mill. Expect excellent fuel economy from the new car, and according to the Japanese brand, "leading-edge connected car technologies."

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

2015 Honda Fit shapes up for America [w/video]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

The Fit may be Honda's smallest (and, starting at $15k, most cost-effective) model, but it has never sold in quantities that even approach those of the brand's larger offerings - at least not in the United States. Where American Honda typically sells hundreds of thousands of Civic and Accord models - even CR-V crossovers and Odyssey minivans - annual sales for the Fit typically amount to tens of thousands. But the Japanese automaker hopes to expand its sales in the segment with the introduction of the new 2015 Honda Fit.
Having launched the all-new model several months ago in the Japanese Domestic Market, Honda is presenting the new Fit to the North American market here at the Detroit Auto Show. By and large, it's the same model that will be sold around the world, having been redesigned with more aggressive styling, a larger footprint on the road and more interior space. Only now it will be built for North American consumption at Honda's new plant in Celaya, Mexico, where the automaker plans to also build its new Vezel crossover (or whatever it'll be called here).
The North American Fit ditches the hybrid setup offered in the JDM model in favor of a new Earthdreams 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with direction injection and i-VTEC valve timing to help it deliver 130 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. That's 13 more horses and 8 more torques than the previous model, and the engine can be paired to either a six-speed manual or Honda's new continuously variable transmission. With the latter, Honda projects the Fit will get 33 miles per gallon in the city, 41 on the highway and 36 on the combined cycle. Lighter and more refined than the outgoing model's powertrain, the new engine sits in a lighter and more rigid frame as well, which Honda expects will earn it top ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
