This is the Honda Civic - SI I-VTEC DOHC.   At the time I write this, there are no mechanical problems that I am aware of, nor have there been since I bought it.  Only have replaced the battery and brake pads.  The car is just as solid and peppy as the day I drove it off the showroom floor.  It is a great, great car.  I am the original owner.  It has 4 new 94V Wintrac Xtreme XL tires ( 7,000 miles on them) and a new battery within the last year.  The interior is in very good  to excellent condition other than one unfortunate flaw - there is a small cigarette burn on the back seat.  Someone was back there smoking - need I say more.  The SI is noted for having the red stitching throughout the car including the steering wheel - there is no broken stitching anywhere!  The only functional issue to mention is last week the drivers side automatic door lock stopped working (passenger and hatch are fine).  It needs a new actuator put in ($15 part). The outside does have some scratches and small dings as to be expected with a 9 year old car, but there is nothing major!  The scratches and dings are minor - you actually cannot feel them, just see them.  This SI has the sunroof and it does not leak!!!  I have religiously changed the oil every 3,000 miles, and it just passed the Illinois emissions control test in September.  It really is an awesome car.  Please email me with any questions that you might have - I will be 100% honest with you.  Local pick-up or I will work with you if you need to have it shipped (buyer's expense).  I sold my Alfa Romeo on ebay and worked with the buyer to ship it to Pennsylvania.  I require a $500 deposit thru Paypal within 24 hrs with payment in full within 7 days of auction close through Paypal or with a cashier checks or money order.  Car can be picked up or shipped when money has cleared. Thank you for looking.

NOTE:  Someone asked me why I was selling the car and how it was driven for the time that I owned it.  I am selling it because I fell in love with the Hyundai Veloster - Turbo - Red!!  I really had no intention of buying a new car (obviously since I had just spent $800 on new tires), but I saw the Veloster on the showroom floor and it was over.  My Civic SI was driven with respect.  I am a 65 yr. old female, but don't let that fool you.  I love cars and I am a very good driver.  I have always owned sportscars (Porsche, 2 Alfa Romeos).  I bought the SI because it came very close to handling like my Porsche and the shift gear came out of the dash like in my Alfas.  So, to me it was the best of both worlds.  It handled like a sportscar yet I could put things in there from Home Depot!.  So, did I drive it fast, yes at times, but never recklessly.

Another question to answer:  My reserve price is not much more than my starting auction price.

Acura built just 91 examples of the ILX last month, here's why

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

The short life of the Acura ILX has been vexed by one glaringly odd standard equipment choice, mediocre reviews, getting outsold by its competition as it posted slower-than-projected sales and a pledge by Honda to upgrade its supposedly upgraded offering. Therefore, when Automotive News reports that just 91 of the Civic-based Acura sedans were manufactured last month - after a string of production months in double-digits - it would be easy to press the button for the alarm bells.
But that would be hasty, because it is actually the 2013 Honda Civic that is crimping the production pipeline of the ILX. The vastly higher sales numbers of the Honda meant that all three North American plants that produce it needed to crank up output to satisfy dealer inventory needs, including the Greenburg, Indiana plant that makes both the Civic and the ILX. As the classic guns-vs-butter Economy 101 lesson taught us - in which making more of one necessarily means making less of the other - well, the Civic is the gun.
Honda prepared for this eventuality by cranking out the Acuras while it got ready for Civic production. The ILX has held steady at about 500 units shy of company projections every month, and the current inventory represents about 90 days worth of sales. That makes Greenburg's ostensibly low numbers in line with the realities of the ILX, and the situation probably won't change much as Acura gets ready for the improved 2014 ILX.

Chevy Malibu Hybrid wins 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year

Thu, Jan 21 2016

From the Washington Auto Show today, Green Car Journal's Ron Cogan announced three different fuel-efficient vehicle awards. They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year. Speaking of non-winners, the other green SUV finalists were the BMW X1 XDrive28i, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the Year™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.

Comma.ai makes your car semi-autonomous for $999

Wed, Sep 14 2016

At TechCrunch's Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Comma.ai founder George "Geohot" Hotz announced the launch of the Comma One semi-autonomous driving device. Hotz said at the conference that his company has worked on the Comma One for about a year, and it will be available at the end of the year for $999 and a $24 per month subscription fee. But aside from the reasonable price, which TechCrunch points out is possible thanks to off-the-shelf components, the appeal here is that it's an add-on to an existing car that can be installed at home by the car's owner. This gives people with normal cars the opportunity to have semi-autonomous features without having to buy an entire vehicle... that is, if you have a Honda or Acura with lane-keeping assist, since Comma One is currently only compatible with those vehicles. It remains to be seen if the company will add more vehicles to the list over time. The device is roughly the size of a large cell phone or aftermarket navigation system, and it has a screen on the front and a pair of cameras on the back. The computer combines information from the device's cameras and the car's radar sensors to understand what's happening and how to respond. Hotz explained at the conference that this system is similar in capability to the Tesla Autopilot system, and will be able to complete a drive, start to finish, without the driver having to touch anything. He did however emphasize that the driver must still pay attention in the event something goes wrong, comparing the experience to watching a young student driver. Hotz told TechCrunch that the device should start shipping at the end of the year. He also said that owners of compatible Honda products in the San Francisco area are eligible for beta testing, and can get involved by emailing him at george@comma.ai. So if you've been pining for a semi-autonomous vehicle of your own, but couldn't spring for a Tesla, you won't have to wait much longer. We should point out that we don't know yet how well the system works, though we hope to find out soon. Related Video:
