1995 Honda Civic Vx Hatchback 3-door 1.5l - 55 Mpg!!!! on 2040-cars
Warsaw, Indiana, United States
We have long dreaded
this day. Eight and a half years ago, we
flew to
So, let’s start with
the bad stuff – it is rusting out. This
is the only reason we are selling. It
still runs great and is very dependable, but the rust is progressing. I found that there is rust around two of the
bolts that mount the rear axle. So, for
that reason, I AM ADVERTISING THIS AS A
PARTS CAR. We drove it to work
today, and it still goes down the road fine, but that will be at your
risk. I believe that you could readily
drive it home to anywhere, but that is your decision, and my opinion should not
be considered. I am also not liable for
your decisions.
The driver’s seat
has some tears (in typical Civic fashion), and the carpet is worn out on the
driver’s side. The dome light does not
work reliably, and never has.
In 2010, a highway
department plow-truck backed into the back of the car, breaking the back window
and lightly damaging the window frame.
This was repaired, and new rear fenders were welded in, which explains the difference in the paint color at
the back. This did not affect the
drivability of the car.
How about some good
stuff? Well, it runs great and gets
great gas mileage. The VX model has a
special engine with unique camshaft lobes that allow for very frugal fuel
consumption below 2500 rpm. Since 2000
rpm in 5th gear is 65 mph, it is easy to save fuel.
The engine has over 248,000
miles, but still doesn’t need oil added between oil changes. The 5-speed transmission growls a bit at
idle, but shifts smoothly, and had a new clutch last year. The distributor was replaced a few years ago,
and the starter was new in 2013.
All the glass is
intact, although the windshield is somewhat pitted. There are lots of usable parts – the hood,
both doors, and front fenders appear to be pretty much rust-free. The car has the original alloy wheels, and
all the center medallions are intact.
Inside, the dash
console all works. There are aftermarket
cruise control and stereo. The stereo
display does not light up, but it works fine otherwise, and has an aux input
jack. The air conditioning works
great.
The tires are good –
two of them were new last year. You will
also receive the owner’s manual, and a CD version of the shop manual. The title is clear, and you will receive a
bill of sale for the actual amount of the sale.
I don’t play games.
We have loved this
car and have taken good care of it. We
are non-smokers, and the interior is pretty clean. I have attempted to describe the car
thoroughly, and to provide clear pictures that represent the condition. Your bid is a legally binding contract, so I
STRONGLY recommend that you or a friend look this car over before bidding. Bid intending to buy.
I expect to receive
a deposit of $300 within 72 hours of the auction end, with the balance paid
within 10 days. The deposit may be via
PayPal, but any amount over $300 should be in cash. Sorry, no personal checks or money orders. |

These were our favorite cars of 2022
Tue, Dec 20 2022Favorite cars is different than best cars. The idea of "best" can speak to value and overall competitiveness in a given vehicle segment. There's lots of objectivity involved and to do a "best" list right, one really must be very thorough and as scientific as possible. This is not that list. This is about our favorites, so objectivity be damned. If we liked a Challenger Hellcat because it made loud noises or a Honda Odyssey because it made for a particularly special family vacation, fair game. These were the cars that most spoke to our collection of editors and the ones that stayed in our minds and hung in our hearts long after they left our driveway. — Senior Editor James Riswick 2022 GMC Hummer EV Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder: I didn't particularly expect to like the new Hummer. I wasn't a fan of the Hummer H2 or H3, so I wasn't automatically enthusiastic about this electric reboot. Fast EVs aren't hard to come by — and, in fact, may be too easy to come by — so its performance specs weren't enough to win me over. Despite videos to the contrary, pickups aren't my favorite vehicular format. And its excessive size and weight turned me off ... until I finally got behind the wheel. This thing is wildly entertaining to drive. Watts to Freedom launch control is a neat party trick, sure, but the novelty wears off quickly. The novelty of Crab Walk, however, has staying power. The rear-wheel steering makes this behemoth feel much smaller than it is — the maneuverability is incredible, and useful. The air suspension provides tons of clearance, including a ridiculously high-riding Extract mode. I can't wait for lesser versions of the Hummer to make their way to market. Give me less power (for less money), but keep the off-road tricks onboard, and I'll be a happy camper. Senior Editor, Consumer, Jeremy Korzeniewski: If I could afford to put one of these in my driveway, I would. Sadly, I can't, so I won't (What's that, Janet? I got the lyric wrong?). Still, I love the dumb thing. Thankfully, I have another choice down below. 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Associate Editor Byron Hurd: Yeah, duh, Porsches are good. But there's good, and then there's GT3. This is the feeling every performance-oriented RWD tuner is trying to replicate. This is hard, precise, surgical and immensely satisfying. To begin to explore this car on a public road is by itself an admission that you believe yourself to be above the rules as they apply to normal drivers.
Honda Accord, Civic are America's most stolen cars
Tue, 20 Aug 2013The National Insurance Crime Bureau has released its latest Hot Wheels study on the most popular stolen cars and trucks for 2012. The study has changed a bit from past years, with the new findings listing only the make and model of each vehicle, while taking into account all model years in its totals. Previous iterations only focused on the most stolen vehicles of a particular model year, with that make and model not appearing anywhere else on the list so as not to appear to call out a particular car. Confusing, eh? Said another way, in previous studies, if the three most stolen vehicles were the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Belchfire Turbo from Fictitious Motors, only the model year with the highest number of thefts would make the list.
The new study takes all model years into consideration while breaking down the number of vehicles stolen per model year in a full, in-depth report. Separately, the NICB is also listing the top 25 new vehicles stolen in 2012. That list is limited exclusively to model year 2012 entries.
Honda took the top two spots in the most stolen vehicles list, with 58,596 Accord models stolen and 47,037 Civic models stolen. The study is interesting, though, in that the most recent model year for the Accord is 1997, while the most recent the Civic is 2000. In fact, Hondas from 1990 to 2000 make up 16 of the top 20 cars stolen in 2012, according to the NICB. Compare that with the MY2012 list, where Honda's vehicles are eleventh and fifteenth, and it looks like the Japanese brand has been beefing up its theft control.
Honda speeds down memory lane with its first F1 car
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Though most Formula One teams are based in the UK, they hail from places all around the world. There are teams from Russia, India and Malaysia, but in the 1960s, the idea of an F1 team coming from as far away as Japan was unthinkable in what was a predominantly European racing series. That's just the notion that Honda aimed to upset when it entered the car you see here in the 1964 Formula One World Championship.
With a 1.5-liter V12 dispensing 220 horsepower through a six-speed manual (its shifter necessitating the steering wheel mounted left-of-center), the 1964 Honda RA271 was built around an aluminum monocoque in a package that looks like a Formula Vee car you could erect in your garage, but it state-of-the-art when it was built. Speaking of which, Honda only built one, and today it's part of the Honda Collection Hall at Motegi, but the priceless racer made the trip down to Japan's capital so we could check it out at the Tokyo Motor Show. Awfully nice of Honda, we'd say. Check it out in our gallery of live shots from the show floor above.
