This 2003 two owner S2000 is in fantastic condition and is complimented by great performance. The $6,290(plus installation) Vortech Supercharger increases the horsepower “by 49%” to give you “358” as stated by Vortech on its webpage. The body is a 9.5/10 and the interior is a 9.9/10 as you might expect from mostly a one owner car with only 7,389 miles as shown on the odometer and documented in the clean Carfax. I bought it last September and have put about 500 miles on it. As you can see the underside is as unbelievably clean as the topside. When have you last seen a car’s underside this clean? Obviously it has not been driven in bad weather. The aftermarket exhaust is by MW and there is a MW badge on the trunk. I had a pre-purchase inspection performed by a Honda dealer before I bought it passed with flying colors. Compression in each of three cylinders was 220# and in the fourth was 230#. The wheels are all scratch and curb rash free and are as new and the one pictured is representative of the other ones. Tires are original and the fronts have 7/10” and the rear 4/10”. Due to their age 4 brand new tires, rated better than the competitor tires in a Tire Rack comparative test, are included with the sale as well as a nice car cover. There is an aftermarket amp in the trunk. The top with the heated rear glass window is very nice. There are no tears in the seats or scrapes and the original mats are nice. The 9000 rpm redline takes some getting used to as your natural inclination is to want to shift at about 6500 as most cars require. The sound is fantastic. The V-tech cam lets you know around 7200 RPM that it has arrived. The next year S2000 lowered the rev limit, a shame. Handling is superb. I have had 6 different Porsches on the race track at Mid Ohio including a Boxster S and I can say without qualification that this car handles very well. I have not tracked this car. If you can find the Mid Ohio Track Video showing an instructor in one you will see how well they handle. So good was this year and S200 that Car and Driver picked it in a comparison test over a Borsche Boxster, Z4 BMW, a 270Z and an Audi TT. It shows no paint work and the clean Carfax shows no accident history. The AC blows cold..The stock items removed for the Vortech installation are included with the car. I had the local Honda Dealer change the oil, brake fluid and anti-freeze right after I got it last fall. I have the record of this fluid change as well as the pre-purchase inspection invoice. Check out the completed listings and you will see that one with a few thousand less miles just sold for $23,000 and because it was for the latter series it is not as desirable in my opinion. And more importantly, it is missing the Vortech fun factor costing over $7500, counting installation. I have purchased several Porsches and Audi’s from Ebay or Autotrader without seeing them and this is the best car purchased on line in terms of condition. I will not entertain bids or offers from people with no ebay rating.

Honda Accord Hybrid Falls Well Short Of 47 MPG, Says Consumer Reports

Thu, May 29 2014

Do not poke Consumer Reports with the hybrid fuel economy stick. That seems to be the lesson illustrated here yet again. The Honda Accord Hybrid is the latest to arouse the ratings bear, returning "just" 40 combined mpg in CR testing. Even so, that makes it "a class leader for fuel economy among midsized sedans," besting even the Civic Hybrid in CR testing, but that's still a lucky roll of the dice short of its EPA rating of 47 mpg. Remember, it was back in December 2012 that CR knocked the Ford Fusion and C-Max hybrid models for the exact same failing: certified with an EPA-rated 47 mpg but delivering "just" 40 mpg. Beyond that, while the Accord Hybrid earned a lower overall score than the traditional gasoline Accord because of its ride, handling and refinement issues, it gets unqualified applause from the institute for its "very impressive hybrid system." It will be interesting to see if CR's findings will negatively impact the model's sales, which to this point have been impressive enough that demand is outstripping supply. In the meantime, you can check out CR's brief video review of the Accord Hybrid below, and check out the magazine's press release chiding its mpg rating. This content is hosted by a third party.

Honda Accord Hybrid Delivers Class-Leading Fuel Economy, But Falls Well Short Of EPA's 47 MPG Estimate Jeep Grand Cherokee and BMW 328d diesels shine, Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid underwhelms YONKERS, N.Y., May 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Consumer Reports fuel economy tests found the Honda Accord Hybrid delivered impressive overall fuel-economy, tying the smaller Honda Civic Hybrid and just below the top-performing Toyota Prius hatchback. The Accord Hybrid's 40-mpg performance on Consumer Reports combined city and highway tests make it a class leader for fuel economy among midsized sedans. Testers found the Accord Hybrid has a very impressive hybrid system that smoothly transitions between battery and engine power. To save fuel, even at highway speeds, the engine willingly shuts off as soon as drivers lift their foot off the gas pedal. But Consumer Reports' engineers caution that buyers expecting their car to the EPA's figure of 47 mpg posted on the window sticker might be disappointed. "We've found that the EPA tests often exaggerate the fuel-economy of hybrids," said Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing at Consumer Reports.

Honda not ready to give up on CR-Z, Civic Hybrid in US just yet

Thu, Feb 5 2015

Honda has already killed off the CR-Z in Europe, so news that the car is no longer going to be sold in Australia isn't exactly a surprise. In fact, Car Advice says that both the CR-Z and the Civic Hybrid are coming to the end of the line Down Under following disappointing sales. Honda sold only 370 CR-Zs in Australia in 2012 and then 58 in 2013 and 86 in 2014. These cancellations got us thinking: what does the future look like for these vehicles in the US? Well, stateside, CR-Z sales dropped almost 20 percent in 2014, compared to 2013, to 3,562 units. The Civic Hybrid sold just 5,070 units, a drop of almost 35 percent. Both of these vehicles use the aging Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) mild hybrid system, which the company's other hybrids (like the Accord) do not. Does that mean Honda hybrid fans will soon no longer be able to buy a CR-Z or Civic Hybrid? Not so fast, says Angie Nucci, Honda PR's senior environment and safety specialist. "The 2015 CR-Z went on-sale in early October and the 2015 Civic Hybrid went on-sale the following month in November," Nucci said. "Since these vehicles went on-sale fairly recently, it is simply too early to discuss future models at this time." Still, in Australia, the CR-Z and Civic Hybrid are both officially leaving the line-up. The company say that three new "Hybrid Sport" models will be coming at some point, starting with the Accord Hybrid later this year. The next one will be the NSX and then the Jazz Hybrid. The Jazz is another name for the Fit, which we do not get in a hybrid version in the US.

Boston woman's car finally free from 100 inches of snow

Thu, Mar 19 2015

It's a car owner's worst winter nightmare: Snowfall so heavy that you can't dig your vehicle out of it. That's exactly what happened to Jillian Tenen, whose 2007 Honda Civic was buried in the snow in Boston for seven weeks after historic winter storms. Tenen's car was initially stuck after a snowfall in late January, but she didn't dig it out because she had the flu. "I'm 5' 2," and it was all ice, an iceberg on top of my car," she told the Boston Globe. "I couldn't reach it. I couldn't lift it. And even if I could, there was nowhere to put it. I just didn't know what to do," she said. Tenen reached out for help to the city, her insurance company and a tow truck company, but they refused to help her. Finally when the weather warmed up, Tenen used an ice chopper to get into her car. The windshield was damaged, however, the car started on its own. "If I had to do it again, I would definitely do one thing differently... I would not park on the corner," Tenen said.
