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.  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.  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 the drivers side automatic door lock stopped working (the passenger and hatch locks are fine).  It needs a new actuator put in ($15 part). The outside does have some surface scrapes and small dings as to be expected with a 9 year old car, but there is nothing major!  You cannot feel the scrapes, just see them.  This SI has the sunroof and it does not leak!!!  Also, there is not rust or peeling paint - I tried to get a good shot of the tires as well as the wheel well to show that there is no rust.

I am selling the car 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 my daughter was there looking at Hyundai's and I saw this one sitting on the showroom floor and that was that.  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 sports cars (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 sports car yet I could put things in there from Home Depot!.  So, did I drive it fast, yes at times, but never recklessly.  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. 

This car did sell on ebay last week, but the buyer backed out due to his financing falling through.  PLEASE, PLEASE . . . serious buyers only and those that already HAVE financing in place.  I actually took it to CarMax today because I did not want to deal with another possible negative situation, but as I expected, they were going to give me nothing for it.  I will keep it first!!  If you check on their website, they sell this car for 12,000 (with 107,000 miles) and 14,000 (with 77,000 miles).  Personally, I think that is crazy, but that is what they have 2 of them selling for.  I have their appraisal form with everything passing fine - no negatives at all.  I plan to add that report, but must wait till Monday until I can scan it at work.  

Please email me with any questions that you might have - I will be 100% honest with you.  If you prefer to speak, email me for my phone number.  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 and full payment within 7 days of close of auction.  Payment must be with a cashier checks or money order.  Car can be picked up or shipped when payment has cleared. Low reserve price.  Thank you for looking, and please, again SERIOUS bidders only.

NOTE:  I am adding the appraisal from Carmax as promised.  I spoke with the appraiser afterwards because I was upset about only a "good condition" rating, but he explained that that is the best they give.  Something is either GOOD, or not.  If it isn't, then they state what the problem or issue is.  The same goes for the second page where everything is "OK".  Again, that means that there are no problems or issues, or they would state specifically what the problem or issue is.  Hope this information helps you.

Honda returning to F1 as McLaren partner

Thu, 16 May 2013

Honda must really love Formula One racing, as evidenced by today's announcement that the Japanese automaker is returning to the world's most popular motorsport for the fifth time in its history. Honda has entered into a team partnership with McLaren to develop and manufacture power systems - the engine and energy recovery system - for the 2015 F1 season. McLaren will be in charge of chassis development and running the day-to-day operations of this newly formed team, which will be called McLaren Honda.
Honda says its decision to reenter F1 racing had to do with new regulations for the 2014 season that require cars to be powered by a 1.6-liter direct-injection turbocharged V6 engine paired with an energy recovery system. Apparently the chance to develop this particular powertrain for F1 racing was too enticing for Honda to pass up, which suggests it has bigger plans for the knowledge learned while developing these systems beyond just winning races.
As mentioned, this is Honda's fifth foray into F1 racing, the first being back in 1964 when it participated as its own team through 1968. Its longest stint came from 1983-1992 as an engine supplier, during which time it partnered with many teams, including McLaren, and won six Constructor Championships. Honda then returned from 2000-2005 as an engine supplier for British American Racing (BAR) before buying that team outright and running it as Honda Racing from 2006-2008. Then the global economic crisis hit. Honda's return to the sport will surely be welcomed by fans as its partnership with McLaren should produce a formidable team. It's a strong signal that the company has returned to health after a few tumultuous years, and hopefully its rediscovered motorsports mojo will help yield more passionately engineered street cars.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts

Thu, Sep 17 2015

Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.

Continental Automotive recalls 5 million airbag control units

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Takata isn't the only supplier having airbag problems. Rival manufacturer Continental Automotive Systems announced a recall of 5 million airbag control units fitted to vehicles from Honda, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, Mercedes-Benz, and even a certain Chrysler-based Volkswagen. This sweeping recall has actually been in progress for some time, although the exact scope is only now becoming evident. In October of 2015, Mercedes-Benz recalled 2008 and 2009 model year C- and GLK-Class vehicles because their Continental-made airbag control units could corrode. Such a condition could cause the airbags to deploy without cause or warning, or in the event of a crash, not deploy at all. You can read all about it in our post from last year. Now, Continental's recall is going wide. Alongside the already recalled C and GLK, you've already heard about the 2008 and 2009 Honda Accord airbag recall, which we reported on yesterday. Now, Fiat Chrysler is announcing the recall of the 2009 Dodge Journey, as well as the 2008 and 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, and their rebadged counterpart, the Volkswagen Routan. Yes, one manufacturer is recalling another manufacturer's vehicle. The models listed above only amount to about 580,000 vehicles out of 5 million bad airbag control units. And since Continental will notify manufacturers who will then issue their own recalls, it's extremely likely that more brands and vehicles will be ensnared. Stay tuned.
