2004 Honda Insight, 5-Speed Manual Transmission with 196,314 miles
- I purchased this car on July 8th of 2012. Since then, I have experienced some issues with the car as noted in detail below in the Detailed History and Known Issues section.
- I am the third owner of this vehicle and have a clear title issued by the state of Virginia.
- The car currently has 196,314 miles.
- I am selling it because my daily commute to and from work decreased significantly, and more importantly, I plan on moving soon and will not be able to take this and my other car with me.
- Vehicle Number: JHMZE13744T000366
- Engine Number: ECA1-1040367
- Color, Exterior / Interior: Silverstone Metallic / Beige
- 5-Speed Manual Transmission
- A/C (works great)
- CD player (I also added an iPod connection)
- Non-smoker / smoke-free
- 2012, July 8th: Car purchased from second owner. Approximately, 190,300 miles on the odometer. I have the CARFAX Vehicle History Report from back then if you are interested.
- 2012, July 9th ~ 13th: 190,639 miles. During the first week of ownership the Check Engine Light came on. I took it to the local Honda dealership (Williamsburg Honda) and they told me that the check engine light was due to Code P2000 ("Oxides of Nitrogen Trap Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1"). So, the car will need a new catalytic converter (expensive fix!) at some point in the future. At this time I had them do a 5K mile service which included: an oil change (0W20 Mobil), replacement of the transmission fluid, new air filter, new cabin filter, and new spark plugs were installed. The front wiper inserts were replaced as well. They also told me that the left rear shock was leaking, though they didn't note this as an issue on subsequent visits.
- 2012, August 9th: 191,952 miles. New 12V battery installed by Williamsburg Honda.
- 2012, August 24th: The dreaded IMA Light came on... Kept driving the car around with just the gasoline engine with no electric motor assist.
- 2013, February 4th: 196,040 miles. Oil and filter change, and state safety inspection at Williamsburg Honda.
- 2013, April 25th: The car was towed to Williamsburg Honda after it stopped running while I was driving home... Couldn't get it to start-up. First the CD-player quit, then the lights of the dash dimmed and flickered, then the engine quit when I stopped at a stop-light.
- 2013, April 26th: 196,280 miles. The car is now up and running again after being serviced at Williamsburg Honda. During this last service visit, Williamsburg Honda also noted that the valves are noisy and that they possibly need adjusting. They could not duplicate the problem that I had the night before, but, did find "Code 58 in IMA System". Also, they noted, "Tested all was good except 12 volt battery so charged with GR-8 then tested good. Possible temporary failure at this time." Not very helpful... After this "reset" the car is running fine; the IMA Light is now off and the electric motor is assisting the gasoline engine once again. The AUTO idle STOP function is once again working and the check engine light has managed to remain off as well, and it's running like the day I bought it almost a year ago.
- 2004 Honda Insight with approximately 196,400 miles (as described in detail above).
- Original window sticker.
- All service records since I took ownership.
- Clean Title
- CARFAX report (from last year when I bought the car)
- Virginia State Safety Inspection Certificate (good through February 2014)
- Owner's Manual / Warranties Booklet / Quick Start Guide
- 2 Keys and 1 Remote
- Grid Charger kit from Hybrid Automotive (new, uninstalled)
- Replacement "H" emblem sticker for rear hatch (new, uninstalled)
- Bottle of BlueMagic Headlight Lens Restorer and Sealer (partially used)

Honda, Hyundai and Kia get best word-of-mouth recommendations in US
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Forget advertising, incentives and, yes, even our excellently crafted vehicle reviews, sometimes the best way for automakers to sell cars is still good ol' fashioned word of mouth. In an attempt to measure this "word of mouth" power, The Boston Consulting Group, a management consulting firm, has created a new study called the Brand Advocacy Index (BAI). The index takes a look at how various industries perform from person to person. Those industries include automotive, smartphones, grocery, mobile telecommunications and banking.
The study polled more than 32,000 individuals across Europe and in the US to come up with the top 55 brands in these various industries. On the automotive side of things, the top brands in the US were Honda, Hyundai and Kia, all tied at 63 percent. On a global scale, Volkswagen and Toyota scored the highest with a 65-percent BAI rating (both in France). The average BAI for auto industry players tallied 50 percent.
As for companies in other industries, Apple's iPhone was the index's top-rated smartphone, Trader Joe's was the highest recommended grocery store, Virgin was sat atop the mobile telecom industry and USAA was the top retail bank. Scroll down for the full press release on the new study.
Honda celebrates the life of Ayrton Senna the best way it knows how
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Honda is returning to Formula One in 2015 with McLaren, and when that engine maker and that F1 constructor are mentioned together, two other words are never far behind: Ayrton Senna. There are engine suppliers, constructors and drivers that have bigger numbers, but those three form a triumvirate that came close to defining F1 in the eighties.
Honda Japan has produced a commercial called Sound of Honda that celebrates Senna at a race that turned out to be one of the most momentous of his career for good and bad reasons: the 1989 grand prix at Suzuka where he won, then was stripped of, the driver's championship.
The commercial has a terrifically simple premise - there's no CG, no old footage of Senna, no one says a word, it's just sound. And it's pretty damn good. Check it out below.
