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

Honda to import Euro market Civic hatch to America
Thu, Mar 19 2015If you look at the Civic sedan Honda offers in America and look longingly at the hatchback version it sells in Europe, we've got good news. The latest word has it that the Japanese automaker will start offering the Euro-spec hatch in North America. The reason, however, may surprise you. According to Nikkei Asian Review, Honda wants to start selling the Civic hatchback in America less because it thinks that's the model Americans want, and more because it has excess capacity at its plant in the UK. Bringing it to the US would also give Honda an entry against the Volkswagen Golf and other competitors. Honda's plant in Swindon, England, is its sole assembly location in Europe, where the company's market share has dropped to a reported one percent. That doesn't mean Honda is giving up on the European market and its strong currencies, but with models like the HR-V to be manufactured in Mexico and the new Fit/Jazz to be imported from Japan, the Swindon plant doesn't have enough vehicles to produce to make use of its annual capacity of 250,000 vehicles. Producing 30,000-40,000 Civic hatchbacks each year for North America would help pick up some of the slack, but not all of it. It would also only represent a small fraction of the number of Civic sedans Honda moves here. Last year Honda sold over 325,000 Civics in America and over 336,000 the year before, making the Civic its second- or third-most popular model here after the Accord and closely positioned with the CR-V crossover. The reported number of Civic hatchbacks it would sell here wouldn't even keep up with the smaller Fit, but would far overshadow the CR-Z hybrid hatchback. The bigger question that performance enthusiasts will be asking is: What does this mean for the prospects of getting the new Type R hot hatch over here? Revealed in production form at the Geneva show earlier this month, the new Civic Type R is based on the European hatchback in question. Prior to the emergence of this report, the official line was that we wouldn't get the new performance model because its bodystyle isn't offered here altogether, and that our version would more likely be based on the sedan. If the five-door model makes its way here, though, we can't help but wonder if the Type R might not follow close behind. Reached for comment, Honda's US office didn't have anything official to add, but we'll be watching this development closely to see how it plays out. Related Video:
Honda Civic Tourer to debut at Frankfurt
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Honda will be bringing its new Civic Tourer to next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, just as we predicted in our spy shots of the new MPV from back in April. The new model, which will arrive in European dealers in 2014, will be built alongside Honda's Euro-spec Civic hatchback, Jazz (Honda Fit) and CR-V in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK.
Honda first hinted at the Civic Tourer with a concept at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, which is set to do battle with the Toyota Auris and Volkswagen Golf in the European market. The production Civic Tourer will also be shown alongside a refreshed Civic hatchback, yet another NSX Concept variant, a McLaren MP4/4 Formula One car, and Honda's World Touring Car Championship Civic.
Is Honda working on airbags for smartphones?
Wed, 04 Dec 2013Smartphones are expensive yet delicate - a single impact on a hard surface can shatter their touchscreens, often damaging them beyond repair. Fitting a case offers only so much protection, but what about an airbag? Honda has explored the concept with the airbag-equipped Case N and even made a video about it. But alas, it isn't real.
For some reason, we really want it to be. Honda has a knack for surprising us with nearly unbelievable inventions designed to improve mankind's quality of life, contraptions like the Walking Assist Device and the UNI-CUB personal mobility devices, so the Case N isn't as far-fetched an idea for the company as you might think.
Head below to watch the video, where you can see the Case N concept in action. You'll also see its generous proportions, which is one reason why it's just a case of Honda humor - not (yet) a market reality.
