 You are bidding on a 2006 Honda Civic 4-door sedan EX in very good condition and with with low miles.  I'm the original owner, and this is my 4th Honda Civic since 1977.  Whether you buy my car or someone else's, I recommend Honda Civics highly, and I personally guarantee you will be very satisfied with this one---if not, feel free to walk away, no harm, no foul.  It's a fantastic car with no known defects. I do not smoke, allow pets, or eat in my car, so the inside is like new without any odd smells.  Although the paint is not perfect, it's been garage-kept and still shines up nicely.  All maintenance is up-to-date (records available), and the battery is brand new.  The car handles well, is fun to drive, and the seats are really comfortable for long trips.  There is no hump in the back floor, a nice feature for times when you need to transport 5 people. I normally drive the car to maximize fuel economy (folks call that 'hyper-miling' because the goal is to get better-than-EPA estimated mileage), and as a result, the car has not been abused in any way.  I've been averaging about 34 miles per gallon of mostly suburban driving.  Driving on the highway even at 70+ MPH, the car gets about 37 miles per gallon thanks to it's aerodynamic body.  If your view of performance differs from mine, you'll probably appreciate the 130 horse-power engine, 5-speed manual transmission, excellent suspension, moon-roof, and alloy wheels.  It's also got all the convenience features you expect including a jack for your iPod or other audio device. It's a safe, solid car for you and your loved ones.  In 2006, the Honda Civic was Motor Trend's Car of the Year for many reasons.  

Why am I selling?  Well, my wife makes do with just 1 vehicle, a Honda CRV.  Somehow, I have 5 vehicles at the moment, so this one should go to a new home.  Oddly, if I could have only 1, this would be it, but since I can have more, I have a bunch of special-purpose vehicles.  This Civic is the most cost-effective of any of our vehicles (75% of them are Hondas), and it does a lot of things very well.

If you're interested in this car and are in the Northern Virginia/Washington DC area, I'd be happy to arrange to show it to you.  The Buy-It-Now price is set at $500 below the Kelly Blue Book value, but of course that price will not be available after the reserve price is met---then the car will sell to the highest bidder.  If the car does not sell initially, I'll re-list it in June after I return from overseas.  Please do not bid if you do not have sufficient funds.  I have the title in hand, so let's have a smooth transaction.

Average new-car fuel economy figures continue record pace

Sat, 13 Jul 2013

Manufacturers are making more efficient cars and trucks; we've known that to be true for some time. Nearly every new car has some sort of trick to eke a few extra miles out of every gallon of fuel. Whether that be turbocharging, active aerodynamics or hybrid technology/electrified powertrains, the fact is that our vehicles are more efficient than ever before.
Thanks to a recent study by TrueCar, we've got fresh quantitative data to support the above statements. For the fourth month in a row, we've seen an improvement in national fleet fuel economy. We Americans are 0.7 miles per gallon more efficient than we were last month, and our cars are 1.6-mpg better than at this time last year. That said, we're still down on 2013's high, which was set back in January at 24.5 mpg.
Not only does this reflect the improved technologies in our vehicles, but it demonstrates a changing mindset among consumers, who are purchasing more efficient vehicles despite the relative stabilization of fuel prices. Every fuel-efficient model sold drives its manufacturers fleet average up.

Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
