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.

McLaren-Honda drops the bling for stealth F1 livery

Wed, May 6 2015

Watch a Formula One grand prix and you can instantly tell which are the McLarens, visible as they are from a mile away with their reflective chrome livery. But that's all about to change as the British team has dropped the chrome in favor of the more subdued livery you see here. Unveiled in time for this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix, the new McLaren livery replaces the bling with a gray so dark that it borders on black. The red accents remain, albeit in a revised pattern. The new livery promises to be less reflective at sunset and flood-lit night races especially, while providing more of a visual break from the Mercedes era now that the team is powered once again by Honda. McLaren first adopted the silver and black livery in 1997 after Marlboro (with its white and red livery) left for Ferrari and the West tobacco brand was brought in instead. The team parted company with West after the ban on tobacco advertising in sports was instituted in Europe in 2005, inserted some red into the livery and replaced the flat silver with chrome. This weekend's race will mark the first time in a decade, then, that McLaren will be racing without the chrome.

Honda making hydrogen from solar power in UK

Mon, Nov 10 2014

Honda is going to launch a hydrogen-powered production vehicle (its second, really) next year, but the all-important H2 infrastructure question hasn't been fully answered yet. One possible solution is being tested over in the United Kingdom, where Honda is turning solar energy and water into hydrogen at its Swindon plant. SHD Logistics says the plant is the UK's "first commercial-scale hydrogen production and refuelling facility powered by solar energy." Despite the presence of an FCX Clarity in some pictures from the ribbon cutting, it's unclear if the station will be able to fuel any passenger cars. SHD Logistics talks about sending the hydrogen from where it is generated on the Honda plant grounds into the plant using 300-meter underground pipes so that hydrogen forklifts can refuel as needed. Two hydrogen fuel cell trucks used by Briggs Equipment UK, Honda's partner in the station, will also refuel at the plant. Honda said earlier this year that it, along with partner GM, would work to reduce the costs of a hydrogen refueling infrastructure. Solar-powered hydrolysis – which is what the Swindon facility uses – doesn't sound cheap to us, but at least it reduces the overall environmental costs, compared to using electricity generated from fossil fuels.
