We have long dreaded this day. Eight and a half years ago, we flew to Iowa to pick up this car after buying it on EBay. We have driven it over 90,000 miles. It has been superb, and has saved us a fortune in gasoline costs. Yes, we really do get 55 mpg or better on the highway. Obviously, driving styles will bring different results, but on the interstate we routinely get 56 mpg, with a personal best-tank of 59.75 mpg! In daily local commuting, we normally get 42 unless I am trying, in which case we get about 46 mpg. Our worst tank ever, in the dead of winter, was 38 mpg.

So, let’s start with the bad stuff – it is rusting out. This is the only reason we are selling. It still runs great and is very dependable, but the rust is progressing. I found that there is rust around two of the bolts that mount the rear axle. So, for that reason, I AM ADVERTISING THIS AS A PARTS CAR. We drove it to work today, and it still goes down the road fine, but that will be at your risk. I believe that you could readily drive it home to anywhere, but that is your decision, and my opinion should not be considered. I am also not liable for your decisions.

The driver’s seat has some tears (in typical Civic fashion), and the carpet is worn out on the driver’s side. The dome light does not work reliably, and never has.

In 2010, a highway department plow-truck backed into the back of the car, breaking the back window and lightly damaging the window frame. This was repaired, and new rear fenders were welded in, which explains the difference in the paint color at the back. This did not affect the drivability of the car.

How about some good stuff? Well, it runs great and gets great gas mileage. The VX model has a special engine with unique camshaft lobes that allow for very frugal fuel consumption below 2500 rpm. Since 2000 rpm in 5^th gear is 65 mph, it is easy to save fuel.

The engine has over 248,000 miles, but still doesn’t need oil added between oil changes. The 5-speed transmission growls a bit at idle, but shifts smoothly, and had a new clutch last year. The distributor was replaced a few years ago, and the starter was new in 2013.

All the glass is intact, although the windshield is somewhat pitted. There are lots of usable parts – the hood, both doors, and front fenders appear to be pretty much rust-free. The car has the original alloy wheels, and all the center medallions are intact.

Inside, the dash console all works. There are aftermarket cruise control and stereo. The stereo display does not light up, but it works fine otherwise, and has an aux input jack. The air conditioning works great.

The tires are good – two of them were new last year. You will also receive the owner’s manual, and a CD version of the shop manual. The title is clear, and you will receive a bill of sale for the actual amount of the sale. I don’t play games.

We have loved this car and have taken good care of it. We are non-smokers, and the interior is pretty clean. I have attempted to describe the car thoroughly, and to provide clear pictures that represent the condition. Your bid is a legally binding contract, so I STRONGLY recommend that you or a friend look this car over before bidding. Bid intending to buy.

I expect to receive a deposit of $300 within 72 hours of the auction end, with the balance paid within 10 days. The deposit may be via PayPal, but any amount over $300 should be in cash. Sorry, no personal checks or money orders.

McLaren confirms Alonso, keeps Button

Thu, Dec 11 2014

Every year a big game of musical chairs breaks out in the Formula One paddock, as some drivers try to hold on to their seats, some try to grab new ones and others are left without a seat for the following season. McLaren has been extremely reluctant to announce who would be sitting in its carbon-fiber seats next season, but it's finally spilled the beans. McLaren was strongly rumored to have hired Fernando Alonso for next season, speculation over which was all but confirmed when the two-time world champion announced his departure from Ferrari. He's now been officially confirmed to be returning to Woking for next season. But the bigger question over who would be his wingman has now been answered as well, as the team has decided to keep Jenson Button on board for at least one more season. Long regarded as a top driver, Button started out with Williams back in 2000, then spent a couple of seasons in Enstone with Renault before switching to Honda in 2003, finally winning the championship in 2009 when the team went out on its own as Brawn GP (now Mercedes). He switched to McLaren in 2010 to form a dream team with Lewis Hamilton (who in turn left for Mercedes last year), but though Jenson has been unable to rack up another world title, he's remained a favorite especially of Honda's, which returns to F1 next season to rekindle its once-dominant engine-supply partnership with McLaren. Alonso, meanwhile, made his grand prix debut with Minardi (now Toro Rosso) just one year after Button, then switched to Renault first as a test driver and then got the race seat, winning back-to-back world championships in 2005 and 2006. He subsequently spent one tumultuous season alongside Hamilton at McLaren before going back to Renault and then to Ferrari, which which he spent five years, scoring eleven checkered flags to finish in second place in the standings, three times. Alonso's signing and Button's retention spell bad news for Kevin Magnussen, the young Danish driver who got his start with McLaren earlier this season after winning the Formula Renault 3.5 Series title last year. With all the other seats already spoken for, Magnussen was left with no choice but to accept a test-driver role with McLaren in the hope that he might be promoted back again in the future. McLaren-Honda prepares for 2015: laying the foundations for future domination McLaren-Honda is delighted to announce its new driver line-up for 2015: Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button.

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

Acura NSX GT3 non-hybrid racecar on sale soon

Thu, Jul 27 2017

Just over a year ago, Acura debuted the NSX GT3, the FIA GT3-spec racecar based on the automaker's latest and greatest. While it took years for the road car to hit the streets, the NSX GT3 was developed in a relatively short amount of time. This year, the car competed in several races under the factory banner, racking up 50,000 miles and two race victories. Today, Honda and Acura announced the NSX GT3 will go on sale for private teams. Think of the NSX GT3 as a stripped out version of the standard NSX sans hybrid system. The 3.5-liter twin-turbo remains, but, since there are no electric motors up front, all the power is sent to the rear wheels through a XTRAC semi-automatic 6-speed sequential transmission. The chassis is built in Ohio right alongside the regular NSX. The same goes for the engines. The block, heads, valve train, crankshaft, pistons, and dry-sump lubrication system are the same specification as the production car. Final assembly is completed in Italy. This past year, the NSX GT3 competed under the Acura banner in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD class and the Pirelli World Challenge GT category. In addition to those series, the car is built to compete in the Blancpain GT Series and 24 Hours Nurburgring in Europe, the Super GT GT300 class in Japan, as well as other GT3-spec race series. Different divisions of Honda will be handling global sales, with HPD responsible for the North American market. US pricing hasn't been announced, but converting the European models start at about $545,000. Now we just want to see a lightened, non-hybrid version of the NSX on the street.
