 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.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Honda finds new Green Path to reduce CO2 emissions

Fri, Sep 25 2015

In the wake of the Volkswagen diesel scandal, it's impossible to hear an automaker talk about its overall environmental efforts and not think to yourself, "for real?" Still, we're willing to listen. And Honda representatives gave it their best shot yesterday in Marysville, OH as they introduced a small group of journalist to the company's expanded initiative aimed at cutting CO2 emissions and the total life-cycle environmental impact of Honda products. Called Green Path, the initiative now includes a $210-million expansion at Honda's Marysville, OH manufacturing plant to install a better, cleaner paint shop. Speaking at the facility yesterday, Honda representatives said that the plant room is not only better for the environment (it uses limestone dust instead of water to capture paint particles, for example, reducing water usage by about 2 million gallons annually. Overall, the new paint shop will have 60 percent less VOC emissions and reduce CO2 emissions by 18 percent), it also makes the cars look better. That's whey the two-step temperature curing process will initially only be used on Acuras to differentiate them from the competition. Honda will fire up trials in late 2017. There's more to Green Path than the new paint show, of course. The company wants to reduce - in some cases eliminate - what it calls substances of concern (SOCs), things like lead and mercury. There are also new wind turbines in Ohio to supply power to Honda plants, the Environmental Leadership Program for independent dealerships to make their own green moves, and swapping out fluorescent light bulbs for LEDs, among other efforts. In the Marysville Auto Plant, for example, the Assembly department has over 10,000 task light bulbs. The fluorescent ones used to need to be replaced every three years, but the new LEDs have a life span of 16 years. Honda says that calculating up the impact of all of these little changes will remove an average of 3.822 kilograms of CO2 from the production tally of each car it makes. The company's stated goal is to reduce its total greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent (compared to 2000 levels) by 2050. You can find out more in Honda's press release and video, below.

2016 Honda HR-V officially finds its fit in Los Angeles

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Honda's extended tease for the 2016 HR-V compact crossover is finally over. The CUV debuted in Japan late, last year, and the company has trotted various versions to shows around the world since then. The time has finally come for all of the details about the US version to be revealed at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show.
Honda has been keeping the HR-V's powertrain a closely guarded secret - until now. All of them get a 1.8-liter four-cylinder that makes 138 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque with the choice of either a six-speed manual or CVT. Either front- or all-wheel drive is available, but the six-speed is only available on front-driving models.
Based on the same platform as the Fit, the HR-V actually doesn't seem to share much with its smaller sibling in terms of looks and instead borrows more cues from its big brother - the latest 2015 CR-V. Bits of Honda's larger crossover peek out in the grille and roof shape, but the HR-V reinterprets the design in its own funky way. Hiding the rear door handles near the rear pillar is an especially clever touch. The compact's wheelbase is 102.8 inches, just 0.3 inches shorter than its larger sibling. However, overall length for the new model is 169.1 inches, about 10 inches shorter than the CR-V.
