2001 Honda Hybrid Insight.

I am the third owner.  I purchased from a local teacher and she purchased from a local teacher who purchased it from the Honda dealership new.

I absolutely love this car!  I am selling it because it needs to be driven and I am not driving it enough. 

The IMA battery (the electric battery) was replaced on 7/19/12 for the second time.  

The new battery is waranteed by the Honda dealership for three years from the time of installation.

All servicing while I have owned the vehicle has been done by the Honda Tony dealership in Waipahu.

The first time the battery was replaced they said I wasn't driving the car enough.  I have only driven this car 5,510 miles in 16 months.  It needs to be driven much more than I do to keep the IMA battery in shape.

This also happened the second time it was replaced.  So, I am selling it because this car needs to be owned by someone who will drive it.  PERFECT commuter car.  It gets up to 70mpg!

Aluminum body won't rust in the tropical humidity!

These cars were produced to be driven on the freeways as commuter cars.

The gas mileage is phenomenal on this vehicle.  You will be very happy.

This vehicle has been in one minor collision.  I was on my way to hula practice and some little old lady bumped into the back.  The insurance fixed to new status.

There is a scrape and please view the photos on the front driver's side quarter panel.  This was done when it was parked while I was surfing here on the North Shore.  Only cosmetic as the most important aspects are the IMA battery which is basically new and also the impeccable servicing which was all done at the dealership.

Extras include WET OKOLE custom car neoprene seat covers (see photos) and also custom window tinting on all windows except of course the front windshield.

Driver's side window has some minor issues when trying to raise it.  It raises but slowly sometimes.

Car is VERY clean inside and out.  I take very good care of my cars.  I am NOT a smoker and never allowed any smokers in the car.  I also know this to be true with the first two owners as well.

I do own a yellow lab and he rode with me infrequently in the car.  I do keep it vacuumed and clean carpets frequently.

Please contact me with any other questions you might have.  I am NOT a dealer, so I am representing this vehicle as honestly and fairly as possible.

She is a great little car and gets the WOW factor when you drive her around the island.  She looks like a little space capsule !  If you want attention while driving it, you will get it with this car.

I get stares while driving all the time.  I just wave and honk!

Aloha and thank you for looking at this listing.

Former NHTSA chief may lead automaker-backed Takata investigation

Fri, Feb 6 2015

An automaker-led effort may see the former head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration take on the probe into the Takata airbag inflator disaster. A coalition of at least ten automakers is in talks with former NHTSA administrator David Kelly, with unnamed sources familiar with the discussions telling The Wall Street Journal he is "among those we are considering to coordinate" the investigation.The Detroit News, meanwhile, is reporting he could be hired "in the coming days." Takata, the Japanese seatbelt and airbag manufacturer, has been the center of a defect scandal since last year. Takata is under fire for air bag inflators that can explode, shooting out metal and plastic pieces. At least five deaths and dozens of injuries have been linked to the problem worldwide. Earlier this year, Honda Motor Co., the automaker with the biggest exposure to the defective Takata air bags, was fined $70 million in the U.S. for not reporting to regulators some 1,729 complaints that its vehicles caused deaths and injuries, and for not reporting warranty claims. It was the largest civil penalty levied against an automaker. Should he take the role, Kelly would be at the fore of an investigation being assembled by an alliance of ten automakers, which includes the Detroit Three and Honda. Toyota first suggested a joint investigation back in December, The Journal reports. Kelly's goals, meanwhile, will be many. The Detroit News reports that questions abound regarding not only the recalled airbag inflators and the conditions that cause them to fail, but the whether the replacement units will have similar problems in the future. The automaker committee is far from the only one analyzing the airbag issue. Takata has assembled its own panel, led by former Secretary of Transportation Samuel Skinner, while NHTSA's deputy administrator, David Friedman, has brought in an outside engineering firm to investigate the inflators, The Detroit News reports. Separately, on Friday Takata Corp., the Japanese seatbelt and air-bag maker at the center of a defect scandal, is expecting more red ink for the fiscal year through March. It is projecting a 31 billion yen ($264 million) loss, worse than the previous forecast for a 25 billion yen ($214 million) loss, despite higher sales expected for the fiscal year. Ten automakers have recalled about 12 million vehicles in the U.S. and about 19 million globally for problems with the air bags.

Honda production knocked offline by ransomware cyberattack

Tue, Jun 9 2020

Honda has suspended automobile and motorcycle production at several facilities around the globe due to a suspected ransomware cyberattack. According to reports in Japan, domestic production is back online and shipments are flowing out of its Japanese plants. Facilities in Ohio, where popular models like the Accord and CR-V are produced along with the Acura ILX, TSX and NSX, as well as those in Turkey, India and Brazil are reportedly still offline. "On Sunday, June 7, Honda experienced a disruption in its computer network that has caused a loss of connectivity, thus impacting our business operations," Honda said in a statement. "Our information technology team is working quickly to assess the situation." The suspected attack affected Honda’s production globally starting on Monday, forcing some plants to stop operations as the company needed to ensure that its quality control systems were not compromised. In addition, the automaker confirmed via Twitter that its Customer Service and Financial Services are currently unavailable. At this time Honda Customer Service and Honda Financial Services are experiencing technical difficulties and are unavailable. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding. — Honda Automobile Customer Service (@HondaCustSvc) June 8, 2020 The Telegraph (subscription required) in the UK reports that Honda's servers were infected with the EKANS (that's snake spelled backwards) malware, which encrypts data until payment is made to the attackers, who then provide the decryption key.

New Honda ad has Senna, Type R, Asimo, and astronauts

Mon, Aug 17 2015

Now that Honda is back into the guts-and-performance game, automotively speaking, the Japanese company has hit the throttle on hardcore imagery. Its latest is in an ad for the company itself highlighting a small selection of its ample range of products, from motorcycles to an airplane and the coming Acura NSX, branded Honda in other markets. Called "Ignition," Wieden+Kennedy created the 90-second spot for Honda Motor Europe, with the tagline "Dare to do what others only dream of." The theme is a space launch, to give that "feeling of daring and human endeavor," perfectly supported by the print artwork with Asimo the robot up front and fabulously complicated hybrid V6 power units spewing flames from the Formula 1 cars in back. Then there's the family in the HR-V in the middle, defying gravity and sipping from juice boxes, because space is for everyone. Ayrton Senna makes a cameo again, and a Stanley Kubrick aesthetic hangs all over the production. You can check out the ad in the video above.
