38 MPG highway and 29 MPG city. The fuel milage alone will pay for the car in a few years at todays and tomorrows high gas prices. Family owned since new.
Engine runs perfect, smooth and quiet. Drives excellent with no, squeaks, shimmies, rattles, bumps or anything else. Nothing major is wrong with this car. I unexpectantly got a new car from work and I am just selling this as it is an extra car. This is one of the best quality cars on earth as any consumer report, or any other car guide will show these as highly reliable. I have no doubt that you could get another 200,000 miles on this. It you look at the cost, quality, MPG miles left on this, this is a very smart buy and you will find it very tough to get more miles for your dollar anywhere. Stereo sounds great no blown speakers or anything else wrong. As you can see from my feedback I am a very honest seller and find that when perfectly honest, then everyone is happy. I will go through every thing that I have found wrong with this car. It was bought new, never been in a flood, no major accidents, etc. There is nothing else that I know of that is wrong with this than what is listed below. The miles driven are typically between Birmingham Michigan and Toledo Ohio (many many trips of this trip) and just trips to local stores, school, etc. We drove it to Washington dc about 5 years ago. It was mostly my wifes car so it always got driven a few times a week, and has never sat for more than a week without driving. She has a feather foot and I have never been in the car and experienced here pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor.
1. The most major thing, is the hood release handle in the interior it has had the handle broke off which is very common on this era of Honda's. I have a picture of how it can be opened with a pair of vice grips, which you can store in the glove box. I will include these free of charge. It is actually quite easy to open the hood this way. I also bought a whole new wire and handle at the Honda dealer. I never got around to installing it as my life is very busy. I will include this in the action free. you can either install this yourself, or have someone do it or just use the vice grips to open the hood. No one will know this but you, as it is hidden from view of all other passengers.
2. A few small tree branches fell on the roof. I have taken several pictures of these. The paint is still good, it just has a few smaller indentations. most are on the roof, so you really do not notice them much. I am sure someone could pop these out very cheaply, as these are very small and it looks like the metal would just pop right back.
3. This car was driven in ohio for 5 years of its life and the other 5 years was in Michigan. With a car this old, there is some rust, however, it really is not bad, as no rust has gone to the exterior or any other visible surface of the inside or outside of the car. The trunk and linings around the trunk have no rust that I saw. I have not lifted it up on hoist to view the bottom, however crawling under and taking a quick look, the frame and undercarriage look very sturdy still. from what I saw the undercarriage showed no rust, but like I say, I just looked under the back. The frame some rust, but look structurally safe and sound. The are small spots here and there that are rusty, like screws, some piece in engine compartment etc. I do not think it would be an issue for quite awhile. In fact for the rust to go through the body, I would guess it may be 5 to 10 years before anything would be visible from the outside, and it may even be more as many of the places rust would come through are plastic. It does appear that this was rust proofed when new.
4. Some one backed into this as it was parked. It was at a very low speed impact. It took some paint off the bumper. I took a close up picture of it. I would guess touch up paint would fix this. Since it is plastic, rust will not be an issue and I would think you could just leave it as it is, as it is not really that noticeable.
5. There is a small flaw in the front bumper that I took a picture of. Maybe it is a manufacturing flaw, I am not sure. It is just a small protruding dot that the paint is off. It is a mystery to me and I am just putting it down, so I can include every single thing known by me so that there are no surprises for you. It is in the plastic and not metal.
6. The front driver window has a small stone chip. It is very small and I think insurance companies let you fix this free if you call them as they consider it fixing a safety issue and it will not cost you more in policy. It is out of the line of driver sight and very small so I never spent the time to fix it as it is not growing or anything.
7. The passenger back window does not go up with just the switch. You need to give it a little pull on the top of the window to get it started and then the power will work. Not really a big deal as you will be using air conditioning and rarely if ever even lowing this window.
8. The drivers side door lock key hole does not work well. Usually if you move the key in kind of a weird way it will work. I have on occasion after it not working after 6 tries, gone to the passenger side, which works perfectly and opened the doors from that side. It is rare though and the drivers side will usually work after moving it around maybe flipping the key over and trying it a few times.
9. That is all that I can think of. It is a 10 year old car after all so there will be small wear and tear items that you would expect in any old car like this, like some stains in the carpet, although every thing seems very clean and no burns, tears, etc. You could shampoo the floors and they will look cleaner, although they are pretty good. We have treated this car right, as we were planning on keeping it for a very long time and where not expecting a surprise car through my job. We have changed the oil more than recommended in the manual. We have taken it to the car wash when dirty and gotten the works with protecting wax, undercarriage flush, etc. I have replaced it with top of the line good year tires and my wife also replaced it with tires and I am not sure if they are top of the line or not, but they look pretty good, and all 4 tires are and look relatively new. We have had break pads replaced about a year ago.
You may have this inspected by you or a professional before the auction ends. You can email me to set up a time that is good for both of us. You may also test drive it before auction ends. If you live out of state and wanted to fly, take a train or a bus, I can meet you at the station and then you can just drive it away. I have full faith that this will drive across country with 0 issues and you could probably do this several hundred more times with just like a new car. Bid to win. Enjoy your highly reliable car. Congratulations on being a smart consumer and finding this as this will save you tons of money. Good luck with your bid. All sales final with the expectation that you will examine the car before you buy. I am generally available on Wed-Saturday from dawn to dusk and and Sun-Tuesday only from 8pm-9pm.

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?
Fri, Sep 22 2017Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.

Listen, the Type R and the WRX STI don't look alike. Here's why.
Sun, Oct 2 2016So following the reveal of the new Honda Civic Type R, we've seen quite a few commenters issuing all kinds of accusations about the Type R looking like a WRX STI. And you know what? They're right. Both cars have four wheels, four-passenger doors, big wings, and scoops. In all seriousness, aside from a passing similarity because they're both flashy sport compacts, they really don't look alike. Let's start with the front and the profile. These areas are technically the most similar, since both cars feature high beltlines and have lower fascias defined by large inlets and a deep chin spoiler. And admittedly, the little kick-ups on the lower rear portion of the side windows are reminiscent of each other. But that's where the similarities end. Up front, the grille is by far the clearest indicator that the Honda is most certainly a Honda. The wide "blade" shape that spans the nose from light-to-light is unmistakably from the company that gave us VTEC. After all, just about every Honda today uses some form of that grille. The Subaru, on the other hand, has a traditional grille that is distinctly separated from the lights. It's not a bad thing, Subarus have had rather anonymous designs in the past, and we've still liked them. It's a Subaru thing. Moving to the scoops, we find more differences. For once, the Type R is more restrained, with a small, low-profile inlet far back on the hood. It will not be mistaken for the massive one on the STI, which looks like it could suck up low-flying fowl. View 58 Photos Along the side, the distinctions continue to pile up. The key here is in the fenders. While the STI has proud, pumped-up fenders compared with its distant Impreza cousin, they aren't nearly as pronounced as those on the Type R. The Honda's flares clearly show that they protrude from the standard hatchback's sheetmetal and closely follow the curve of the wheelarches. The STI's fenders proceed along the body's lines more closely and blend in more. Finally, we come to the rear, where no one should ever get these two vehicles confused. Yes, they both have enormous rear wings and diffusers, but that's it. For starters, one car is a hatchback, and the other is a traditional sedan. Not only that, but the Type R's hatch has a distinctive split rear window. I mean, based on the criteria people have used to compare the Type R with the STI, they should've actually been comparing the Honda to a Prius.
Honda, Chevy reveal low-drag speedway aero for Indy 500
Sun, May 3 2015As the two automakers currently participating in the IndyCar Series, both Chevy and Honda were invited this year not only to provide engines to the teams on the starting grid, but to develop their own aerodynamics packages as well. Both revealed their designs for the road-course races a few months ago, but with the Indy 500 approaching at break-neck speed, they've now unleashed their aero approaches for speedways. Both are based on the Dallara DW12 chassis introduced to the series a couple of years ago, but sacrifice some of their downforce at the altar of speed. And you can tell as much from looking at them: both Honda (above) and Chevy (below) have streamlined their designs, with single-plane front wings, lower-profile rear wings and fewer winglets on the body and around the wheels in between. The idea is to allow the cars to reach higher top speeds with less drag, while offering the necessary amount of downforce for the banked turns. With the four opening road-course rounds complete, teams using either automaker's equipment will keep the existing aero kits on their cars for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the infield course next week, then switch to the speedway package for the Indianapolis 500 later this month. Then it'll be back and forth for the rest of the season as the circus switches between road courses and speedways. Honda Unveils 2015 IndyCar Super Speedway Aero Kit Apr 30, 2015 - SPEEDWAY, Indiana - To be used at the Indianapolis 500 - Manufacturer seeking 11th Indianapolis 500 victory since 2004 - First public running to take place Sunday at Indianapolis Honda today debuted the "Super Speedway" aero kit of aerodynamic upgrades and components its teams will use at this year's 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The Honda Super Speedway Aero Kit, produced by Honda Performance Development, Honda's racing arm in North America, includes a variety of individual aerodynamic components fitted to the existing Honda-powered Dallara Indy car chassis. All are intended to give Honda's six Indy car teams – encompassing a potential 17 '500' entrants - the ability to maximize performance at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval and other large ovals ( over one mile in length) on the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule. "We're excited to unveil our Super Speedway aero kit, the newest element in this era of enhanced manufacturer competition in the Verizon IndyCar Series," said Art St. Cyr, president of HPD.
