2005 Honda Insight Dx 5-spd From Va./ 1 Owner / No Accidents / All Original ! on 2040-cars
Gasport, New York, United States
If you want a very well cared for Southern, one owner, original mile, untampered with, true survivor, 5-speed Honda Insight, with no accidents and/or repainted or repaired body panels, read on! I have owned 32 First Gen Honda Insights over the last 6 years or so. I am not a dealer. I am an obsessed insight fanatic (private owner.) The improved upon later 2004-06 insights were only made in very limited quantities (production numbers only in the hundreds each year, and most were automatics :P) These later insights were updated from the factory with new sport seats, more plush interior fabric, and an in-dash am/fm/cd player.) This particular car is from Virginia. You could eat off the underside of this car; it is literally that clean! The body has no dents at all! Every body panel has the correct VIN tag on it (both front fenders, hood, both doors, both quarter panels, rear hatch, front and back bumper covers.) No panels have ever been replaced. The car has never been in any kind of major accident, or this would be appearent with replacement panels lacking the correct vin numbers. This is further evidenced by it's super clean carfax report. There are no signs of any repaint on any of the panels either. The usual trim items that get sun baked are not (rear wing, steering wheel, headlights, exterior moldings, emblems, decals, etc, etc.) Interior-wise, again, the car is real nice. The seats are great and not worn through (in fact they show very little wear at all,) the steering wheel, headliner, door panels, floor carpeting, etc have no stains at all, and are all nice. I totally steam cleaned the car's interior (as I do all my insights, but it hardly needed it.) The carpet is super nice too, showing next to no wear at all. All the rubber is perfect, (around the doors, rear hatch, hood, etc. It has the correct brand (Bridgestone re92's) low rolling resistance tires, with at least 80% tread remaining.) The car runs, drives, and shifts perfectly. It is a super smooth rider. The battery pack charges, discharges, and performs flawlessly. I've wired the car for my digital grid charger (again, as I do all my insights,) and cycle the pack regularly (considering the car is stored and not being driven.) For those not in the know, grid charging the pack peaks and equalizes the cells within the pack. This is extremely good for the battery, and prolongs it's life and health greatly. I WILL INCLUDE A BRAND NEW GRID CHARGER WITH THE CAR, FREE OF CHARGE; (A $700 VALUE!) To read more about my grid chargers, see my ebay item # 301002355166. The car has all the manuals, key and remote, and stereo cd code too. Transmission-wise, it shifts perfectly with no synchro grind or bearing noise issues whatsoever. The clutch and slave cylinder are pefect too. I also just did the full oil and filter change with the correct Mobil1 0w-20 oil, as well. Accessory-wise, everything works exactly as it should; heater, blower fan, power windows and switches, power locks and switches, turn signals, every bulb inside and out, all the dash including the trip meter, horn, turn signals, stock Honda am/fm/cd stereo, (rare 4 speaker option, with great sound,) rear trunk release actuator, rear trunk lock, hatch struts, wipers, squirters, etc, etc. Super clear, non-fogged headlights, etc, etc. The only small cosmetic imperfections are a light stain on the rear trunk mat, and some scratches on the top of the rear bumper cover (looks like from loading something into the car at one point.) No check engine lights at all, and (now) perfectly tuned for stupid (70+) mpg's on the highway! I recently had the car fully New York State inspected, as required by law (includes all safety equipment, lights, brakes, emissions, computer, etc.) It passed all with no problems whatsoever. I have brand new floor mats for the car too (not shown in the pics, as I removed them to shoot the pics to show how nice the floor carpeting is!) This car is the nicest example. All underbody panels are in place and nice, too. Zero rust. All jack equipment and spare tire are in place and nice. I have the clean and clear transferrable title, with no liens, in my name. I have done a lot of work to this car to get it exactly where it should be, and as you see it now. I do all my own work (over 30 years of automotive schooling and experience,) and do not scrimp, always using correct factory Honda parts, right down to the last correct Honda screw. NO surprises with this car! So, if you want the best first gen 5-speed for your money, look no further. Can you buy an insight cheaper? Yup. But what you save in initial costs, you'll put back into the car fixing the stuff it needs, both mechanically and cosmetically (believe me, I know; I've done 32 of them now!) This is where the old saying, "You get what you pay for" holds quite true! Just look at the pics....Any questions at all, feel free to call me directly at 716-946-6070. Thanks for your time and consideration! Respectfully, Chris in Gasport, N.Y. (14067) PS: I also have a couple other first gen 5-speed Honda Insights I'll be selling as well, if this one does not suit your exact wants: 2000 Citrus 5-speed w/80k original miles @ $11,995 w/grid charger. I build and offer other extremely useful mods for these 2000-06 first gen Honda Insights cars, as well. Some of which include: Clutch Interrupt Circuit (see ebay item # 291126724231.) Regenerative Braking Circuit (see ebay item # 301192602272.) Brand New OEM Honda Insight Citrus & Grey Seat Covers (see ebay item # 300932249369.) Stainless Steel Dead Pedal / Footrest (see ebay item # 291039568254.) Honda Insight Spun Aluminum Moon Disc Set (see ebay item # 301202833181.) Throttle Smoothing Circuit for 2000-06 5-speeds (see ebay item # 291154867492.) Thanks again! Chris

Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range
Thu, Mar 19 2015Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.
First production HondaJet nearly completed
Tue, 20 May 2014We may mention Honda around here mostly for its cars, but the Japanese industrial giant makes a whole lot more than that. The company builds motorcycles, ATVs, marine engines, power equipment and - soon enough - jet airplanes.
Honda has been working on its first private jet since before 2006, and after a good eight years or so of prototype testing, began building its first production version a bit over a year ago. And now it's almost ready for delivery.
The first production HondaJet is nearing completion and has had its GE Honda HF120 jet engines installed, after which it will conduct initial ground tests before taking its first flight this summer. The jet is painted in a new shade of pearl green with a gold stripe, added to the color catalog alongside the silver, red, yellow and blue options.
Honda sketches boxy crossover concept for Shanghai
Tue, Mar 31 2015In America we may be gearing up for the New York Auto Show, but elsewhere in the world there are other shows on the horizon. Like the Shanghai Motor Show, which will kick off later in April. That's where Honda plans to unveil a new crossover concept. The Japanese automaker isn't saying much about what's new with this concept, except to say that it's been designed specifically for the Chinese market. From this teaser image we can already see that the concept looks decidedly more straight-edged and boxy than the Pilot and CR-V we get over here, striking a form that almost begins to resemble a Kia Soul, but not so much that we'd characterize it at this early stage as a potential successor to the Element. We'll just have to sit tight to find out more, but with the doors in Shanghai set to open to the press on April 20, it won't be too long now. Honda to Exhibit World Premiere of All-new Concept Model at the Auto Shanghai 2015 - Overview of Honda Exhibit - BEIJING, China, March 31, 2015 – Honda Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned Honda subsidiary in China, today announced plans to exhibit the world premiere of an all-new concept model as well as other all-new Honda models at Auto Shanghai 2015 (The 16th International Automobile & Manufacturing Technology Exhibition, press days: April 20-21, 2015, public days: April 22-29, 2015). ?Overview of Honda exhibit Jointly with Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd., Honda will exhibit the world premiere of a concept model for a new SUV exclusively developed for the Chinese market.
