You are looking at a very clean 2002 Honda Insight (First Generation) that has approximately 125,000 miles (see odometer picture). The body panels are very straight with some rock/debris chips and some paint touch up which is visible to the eye upon close inspection. There is no other noticeable flaws (or known damage). The previous owner replaced the battery pack in 2009 when the car had 98,390 miles. The previous owner also replaced the windshield after a tree branch fell and broke the original windshield a few years ago. We have maintained the car to recommended specifications through a local independent Honda service center. It's a fun car to drive and it's very unique. Freeway performance is very good; gas mileage is outstanding and ranges from approximately 45 around town to 60 plus on the freeways (your results can vary depending on driving style). It 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 will 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 or wire within 5 days following the deposit.

Thanks for looking and please ask if you have any questions.

NOTE added January 27, 2014 - The "Maintenance Required" dash light is constantly lit. The light has been on since purchasing the car in 2011 and the previous owner reported that he had the same problem. This light indicates when it is time for routine maintenance and my mechanic told me that it was not necessary to track down the fault that triggers the light - we have maintained the car according to Honda standards (have all of the records). There are no other dash warning lights illuminated.

Honda integrating Siri into select models

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Honda has partnered up with Apple to bring Siri to the Accord, Acura RDX and ILX. Owners who have an iPhone running iOS 6 will be able to ask the software to perform a number of tasks via voice command using the vehicle's on board microphone and speaker systems. What's more, the tech will put the iPhone into an "eyes free" mode, which turns the screen off to help reduce distraction while driving. Honda says it has reworked its Bluetooth and HandsFreeLink systems to accommodate the Siri functionality. While the tech will only be available on three of the company's models right now, we imagine it won't be long before it shows up elsewhere.
As you may recall, Chevrolet integrated Siri into its products with vehicles like the Spark and Sonic, but Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler have also toyed with the tech to varying degrees. The seamless voice command seems to be light years ahead of the tech manufacturers are currently playing with. Check out the full press release from Honda below for more information.

Bonkers Honda Vezel headlines Mugen's lineup at Tokyo Auto Salon

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Japanese automakers and their tuning divisions have descended upon the Makuhari Messe in Chiba City for the 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon. And for Honda, it's all about Mugen.
Honda's Japanese Domestic Market tuning division brought a series of modified concepts and racing cars to the salon this year, including the CR-Z hybrid touring car it fields in the Super GT series, the SF13 single-seater from the Super Formula series as well as customized versions of the Fit, Odyssey and N-WGN. But the prize for the most outrageous of them all surely goes to the modified Vezel you see above.
Modeled on Honda's new Fit-based crossover, the Mugen Vezel Concept goes further than the versions we've seen until now. It features a bonkers body kit, dual exhaust, brake upgrade, sport suspension, intricate 20-inch alloy wheels and an upgraded interior. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're feeling still interested, you can check it out in the gallery above, along with the announcement below and the specs on Mugen's website.

Honda showcases the letter R in cool new ad campaign

Sun, 02 Nov 2014

Okay Honda, you've won the Internet for the week. This cool "double-sided" video, featuring the new Civic and Civic Type R Concept, is one of the more interesting YouTube spots we've seen.
On the surface, "The Other Side" shows a regular dad, simply going about his day and picking his daughter's up from school. But press the "R" key while watching the video, and it transitions into an alternate video. The dad is now in a Civic Type R Concept, and he's not on the school run. Instead, he's involved in something... a bit more devious.
We won't spoil the ending, but suffice it to say, you'll want to watch this video through to its conclusion. Also, because of the unique nature of this video, we can't embed it here, so you'll need to hop over to Honda's UK YouTube channel.
