I BOUGHT THIS CAR WHEN I WAS COMMUTING 60 MILES A DAY I DROVE IT SEVERAL YEARS , IT WAS A GOOD CAR THAT SERVED ME WELL . I AM RETIRED NOW AND DON'T COMMUTE ANYMORE SO I WILL PASS IT ALONG TO SOMEONE ELSE WANTING TO GET EXTRAORDINARY GAS MILEAGE .
THE GOOD :
CAR RUNS GREAT IMA HYBRID SYSTEM WORKS PERFECTLY COLD AC FACTORY HONDA RADIO / CD UPGRADE NICE INTERIOR WINDOWS , HEATER , WIPERS , LOCKS & MIRRORS ALL WORK PROPERLY WIRED FOR IMA GRID CHARGER AND THE CHARGER ITSELF IS INCLUDED PRE WIRED 100w INCANDESCENT DISCHARGE BULB SPARE WHEEL PLUS A SPARE , SPARE . YES , THERE's TWO OF THEM ! EXTRA NEW UNMOUNTED HONDA RECOMMENDED BRIDGESTONE POTENZA TIRE CONSISTENT 60+mpg SERVICE RECORDS GOOD BRAKES AND TIRES . 2 KEYS WITH REMOTE
THE BAD :
IT HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS . 3rd AND 5th GEAR SYNCROS ARE GONE . IT CAN BE DRIVEN ANYWHERE IF YOU TREAT IT LIKE A 3 SPEED USING 1st , 2nd & 4th . NO PROBLEM TO GO HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN 4th AND IT STILL WILL STILL EXCEED 60mpg . I JUST TOOK A NEARLY 400 MILE TRIP RUNNING 75+ ON THE INTERSTATE AND GOT NEARLY 61mpg .
THE UGLY :
CLEAR COAT IS PEELING ON THE DRIVER's SIDE AS SHOWN IN PICTURE
THIS AMAZING PIECE OF ENGINEERING WILL BE SOLD FOR NO RESERVE AND A ONE CENT OPENING BID ! CAR IS LOCATED IN WAKE FOREST IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA .
