Update:  I thought I covered all the bases but apparently I missed some rules I assumed someone shopping for a car on eBay would already know. If your spouse is uneasy with you purchasing a vehicle on eBay that is halfway across the country please get permission before bidding. I believe I have done a very thorough job describing and displaying this beautiful gem of a Crx Si for auction. If you have concern about the car please address them before bidding. You will receive the title and a spare key in the mail if you are not local, after payment is received. If you want it overnighted it will probably cost 30-40 bucks, that will be covered by the new owner. The Crx in the pictures below is not a magazine article or brochure I copied and pasted, it really is in great condition! Like I said I cannot believe I need to add these statements but I really don't want to relist a fourth time or it will probably just go into storage until Spring. Hopefully this third time is a charm and the crx high bidder follows through. My auction received a ton of traffic, interests, and emails but after some issues the sale did not go through with the winning bidder. Please understand that no matter what the bidding goes up to, as a buyer YOU are responsible for shipping if you are out of state. The previous winning bidder expected the shipping to be covered. Also the vehicle will not be released under any circumstances until payment is received in full. Not half payment, or a deposit, or whatever. I assumed this was common knowledge but after the previous experience I'm adding this at the beginning. I hope this time around the winning bidder is an enthusiast of these cars and understands bidding here is a binding contract. Thanks and good luck! I read listings all the time saying they are selling something rare or as a survivor and the pictures don't match the description. This 1990 Honda CRX Si is a gorgeous gorgeous car. Is it rare? In this condition and in its 99% original state being this nice, I think so. It has been meticulously well taken care of by the same female owner since 1993 when the current title was issued. It is a pleasure to drive. This CRX Si runs, drives, looks, smells, and feels like much less than the 140 something highway miles its been driven. Check the car fax all the maintenance has been kept up. Timing belt included and this is ready to go another 150k miles. The tires are 195-60-14 dunlops in fair condition. Exhaust is quiet and at some point the chrome si twin tips corroded and they were replaced. Looks very good and as close to oem as I've seen. Remainder of the exhaust components appear original and oem without leaks. Engine runs perfect like a well kept Honda does. Axles are quiet. Interior is amazing. No tears in the fabrics on the seats. Drivers side shows and feels some wear but the pictures show that well. No fading of any kind. Seat si colors are still vivid like when they were sold in 1990. Air conditioning blows ice cold. Temperature controls are not broken or cracked. The radio has been upgraded to an Alpine cda 9820xm. The antenna is missing but cheap to replace. The exterior shows some wear, chips and scratches have been touched up and the paint shines well. Minimal very beginnings of rust blisters are starting to show on the moon roof but its hard to see even in a high resolution picture. Minor miscellaneous parking lot dings but very few. Worst is on the passenger side door edge and in some pictures you can see it. Sun roof works perfectly. This CRX was professionally photographed so you can see in a few pictures there was some effects added, for example cars driving by. Pictures were taken August 16, 2013 two days before this auction begins. The engine bay really is that gorgeous. The interior really is that clean. And the outside, paint, wheels, body lines, and all exterior components really do look as good as the pictures show. Its not flawless, but it is one of the nicest I've seen in a while without low low miles. The winning bidder could pick it up and take it to a local car show immediately. During the picture taking I realized the passenger side tail light lens was replaced at some point. There's an accident reported in 2007, I'm guessing they are related. I can find no other evidence of an accident and all the panels are original on the body. The car drives smooth and straight. If the tail light lens is a bother to you I will include the correct one installed upon pick up. Lastly it has older window tint peeling on some edges. Not hideous, not perfect though. There is no visible body rust beyond the minor moon roof blisters and maybe a tiny blister or two starting in the rear wheel wells. Miscellaneous sap damage here and there that hardened over the years has been touched up. it could probably be wet sanded and buffed to be improved but all in all this CRX is beautiful. It's clean. I hope a CRX lover wins the auction and continues caring for it just like its previous owner. I would keep it but after years of searching I purchased a Green Tahitian Pearl CRX si in similar condition. If its being purchased as a good solid driving car, it'll last you a long long time if its kept up. Feel free to email with any questions. It is unlikely I will end the auction early with a buy it now price but it is listed locally so you never know. Bid to win.


On Sep-20-13 at 20:37:42 PDT, seller added the following information:

I've had several interested buyers ask about the tail light. The light has now been replaced with the correct one, and I took pictures of the tail light panel. It all looked good and straight. If you'd like to see pictures please send me a message and include a number or email to send pictures to. Thanks,

Honda CR-Z carbon-fiber prototype

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

When Honda rolled out the CR-Z a few years ago, it hoped to bridge the gap between those who would save the planet and those who would rather burn all of its resources in a glorious cloud of tire smoke. But enthusiasts recalling the CRX of 1980s vintage balked, imploring Honda to ditch the heavy battery packs and electric motors in favor of a lighter-weight, more conventional powertrain. At this point it seems less likely that Honda would do so at one end of the market than Porsche would ditch the hybrid component of its 918 Spyder at the other. But that doesn't mean Honda isn't still cooking up ways to curb the CR-Z's weight. And it had just one such idea waiting for us when we visited its Japanese R&D center at Tochigi last week.
Nestled in between the JDM hatchbacks, powertrain test mules and new technology prototypes Honda rolled out for us sat the experimental CR-Z you see here. While it may look mostly like the hybrid sport-hatch you can pick up at your local dealer (albeit blacked out), nearly all of this prototype's bodywork has been completely replaced, as have its basic underpinnings, with carbon-fiber reinforced plastic. The exotic material is usually reserved for high-end exotics, but like BMW is democratizing its use in the new i3, so too is Honda researching ways to implement the use of carbon fiber on a mass scale. This one-of-a-kind CR-Z prototype stands, for the time being, as the embodiment of that effort.

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024

Tue, Jan 23 2024

What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.    Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.

Honda marks 20 million vehicles made in the USA

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

Japanese automakers manufacturing in the United States is nothing new. But it was in November of 1982 when the first Honda Accord rolled off the assembly line in Marysville, OH. It was the first Japanese vehicle assembled in the US, and in the nearly 32 years since, Honda has made 10 million Accords here for a total of 20 million cars manufactured in America - enough to span from New York to San Francisco twenty times. It's that double landmark which Honda is now celebrating.
Honda has come a long way in those three decades, keeping that original plant in Marysville on line while expanding to three more - in East Liberty, OH; Lincoln, AL; and Greensburg, IN - with a fifth plant (the Performance Manufacturing Center) opening on the same site in Marysville to build the Acura NSX next year. It also builds engines in Lincoln and in Anna, OH, and automatic transmissions at Russells Point, OH, and Tallapoosa, GA.
Between those seven sites, Honda produces 11 different models, including the Accord, Civic, Crosstour, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey and Ridgeline as well as the Acura ILX, TL, RDX and MDX. Production keeps on ramping up as Honda produced a record 1.3 million vehicles in the US last year, 95 percent of which are sold in the US. Scope out the details in the press release below and click the image above to see it all laid out in a handy infographic.
