We are listing our very clean 2002 Honda Insight (First Generation) that has approximately 71,930 miles (see odometer picture).  The body panels are very straight with some rock/debris chips, which is visible to the eye upon close inspection.  This Insight has never been in an accident or had any touch-up done to the original factory finish. We are the original owners, purchased new in 2002 in Monrovia CA. The only major work done to the car since new was to have the IMA battery replaced by Honda, last done on 9-28-2010, when the car had 52,693 miles. The same Honda dealer we purchased the car from has performed all regular oil changes and service checks.

 

The car is a joy to drive and as you can see in the pictures has averaged 45.1 MPG for the life of the car. We are confident this number would be higher if we did not live at the base of the foothills. At times we have seen average trip MPG calculations in the high 60’s.

 

A Kenwood stereo replaces the original radio so you can connect your iPhone or iPod to the car.  The original factory radio is also included with the car.

 

All systems work, including the factory A/C that will keep the occupants cool on the hottest day. As you can see in the pictures the underside of the car is very clean thanks to the warm and dry climate the car has spent its entire existence in. Even the exhaust system is rust free and looks and performs like new despite being 12 years old now. The spare tire has never been used.

 

The car is being sold as-is, where-is - the car is located in Southern California and buyer will assume all responsibility for pick-up and shipping.  We can assist you in your efforts to have it shipped anywhere in the Continental US.  Payment criteria is a $500.00 deposit upon winning the auction (within 2 days) via PayPal with the balance to be paid by certified bank check within 7 days following the deposit. ??Thanks for your interest and please ask if you have any questions. ??

2015 Honda CR-V performs poorly in Swedish AWD test [w/video]

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Swedish auto magazine Teknikens Värld has never been afraid to call out automakers when a vehicle fails one of its battery of examinations. Its famous Moose Test recently caught the Porsche Macan out, and a few years ago, there was a protracted argument between Teknikens Värld and Jeep over the performance of a Grand Cherokee in that evaluation.
This time, the 2015 Honda CR-V is raising the magazine's hackles, but it has nothing to do with avoiding a giant mammal. Snow is obviously an issue in Sweden, and Teknikens Värld has a test that challenges all-wheel drive systems in low-traction settings. On a slanted surface, the Swedes put the vehicles' front wheels on rollers with no traction and demands the rears accelerate away. The Honda couldn't do it. Teknikens Värld claims that it initially found the same result last year from the European CR-V, but Honda Sweden put out a software upgrade correcting the behavior in the test. This year, the CUV went back to failing.
While that's the magazine's side, Honda Sweden doesn't see the test as fair. In a statement to Teknikens Värld, the company explains the way the CUV's all-wheel drive system works. It also claims that the test isn't simulating a realistic situation. "In real conditions, regardless of the surface, there is a certain amount of friction always available for both front and rear wheels," the announcement says. "A scenario like the roll test with such a high difference in grip between the front and the rear wheels is highly unlikely."

Honda slaps Legend name on JDM Acura RLX

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

It's been eighteen years since we last saw the Legend nameplate in Acura showrooms here in the US, but in Japan it's still very much alive as Honda's flagship sedan. And now the Japanese automaker has revealed the latest generation.
Set to go on sale across Japan on January 22 - 30 years since the nameplate was introduced - the new Honda Legend is essentially the same model we already know in the States as the new Acura RLX. Only by "essentially," we mean exactly. It is the RLX, only with Honda badges instead of Acura ones. The manufacturer hasn't even changed the grille or the wheels.
Although the RLX is being offered Stateside in two forms, the new JDM Honda Legend will only come in one form, equivalent to our Sport Hybrid, with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and a hybrid powertrain pairing a 3.5-liter V6 to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission with integrated electric motor. For the privilege of owning the most luxurious car Honda makes, Japanese customers will have to pony up ¥6,800,000 - which about adds up to $59,950 we'd pay for an RLX Sport Hybrid.

Honda's new City hints in India at US-bound Fit sedan [w/videos]

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

While car buyers on these shores may think of the Civic or Accord as the prototypical Honda sedan, in the Asia and Oceania regions, it all comes down to the City. Based on the Honda Fit, the City is a compact sedan that's currently sold in 55 countries around the world, and now Honda has revealed the newest version.
Standing essentially as a Fit sedan (much as the Vezel debuted as a Fit crossover), the new fourth-generation Honda City is as wide as the hatchback on which it's based, but stretches longer on a lengthened wheelbase and sits lower. Power comes from a 1.5-liter inline four in either gasoline or diesel form, mated to an unspecified transmission that we'd have to assume is either a manual or a CVT.
Styling looks familiarly Honda, and while it may be hard to tell from the few stock, detail and live reveal images the Japanese automaker has provided us with thus far, it appears slicker form than other compact hatchback-based sedans like the Ford Fiesta or Mazda2. Fortunately IndianAutosBlog has uploaded a couple of videos from the reveal, which we've included below along with the press release.
