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.

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.
Honda to power new Formula Lites open-wheel racing series
Sun, 18 May 2014Open-wheel racing is almost always incredibly exciting to watch, whether it's the constant passing of the Indy 500 on an oval or the technological tour-de-force from Formula 1. However, both of those disciplines are essentially impossible for a normal person to enter. Of course, there are already cheaper, more amateur-friendly open-wheel competitions, like Formula Vee. A new SCCA Pro Racing series called Formula Lites aims to be a step in the ladder between those, offering a development opportunity to young drivers who want to be professionals.
The series already has some impressive backers. One of the biggest needs is now filled, as Honda has signed on as the engine supplier. All of the cars in Formula Lites will use the company's K24 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. The automaker didn't specify power output for the competition engine, but in production models the K24 has made in the neighborhood of 190-200 horsepower in many applications. That should make the racers plenty potent.
All of the cars are using the new carbon fiber FL15 chassis from Crawford Composites, and Pirelli is the series' tire supplier. The organizers' goal for the cars is to keep racing costs down, while offering a reliable platform. Formula Lites plans to start racing with a few events later in 2014, and the full calendar begins in 2015. Scroll down to read the full announcement about Honda's involvement.
Honda Fit EV lease drops to $199 a month, but there's a catch
Mon, Mar 23 2015The Honda Fit EV just became a much better deal. When it first launched, Honda offered the car (in California and Oregon only) in 2012, the monthly price was $399. In 2013, the official lease price dropped to $259. Today, Honda announced that the fun little runabout will cost you just $199. The catch? For new customers, this price is only good on used Fit EVs. You can also take advantage of this deal If you're a current Fit EV lessee by extending your time with your car by two years for the new, lower $199-a-month price. The other limitations of the Fit EV lease – the fact that there's no purchase option at the end of the lease and that the car itself is still only available in "designated market regions" – remain, which means that getting this particular electric car is a better deal than it used to be, but it's still not a good Fit for everyone.

Two-year Fit EV lease extension offered to existing lessees New, two-year used Fit EV lease offered to prospective customers Price reduced to $199 a month; no down payment and unlimited mileage, routine maintenance and collision coverage included Honda is extending the reach of its efficient and fun-to-drive all-electric Fit EV (http://automobiles.honda.com/fit-ev/) through new lease programs for both existing and prospective Fit EV customers. For current, eligible Fit EV customers, Honda is offering a two-year lease extension that includes a lower $199 monthly payment1 (previously $259) and extends the unlimited mileage, routine maintenance and collision coverage1 that were included in the original lease. The reduced lease price and matching two-year terms1 will also be available to new customers interested in driving a used Honda Fit EV. Honda shared the news to a group of Fit EV drivers at an event hosted at the Honda Smart Home US (http://www.hondasmarthome.com/) in Davis, CA on Saturday, March 21. "Most Fit EV drivers tell us they love their vehicles, and many have requested lease extensions and this extended lease program is intended to meet their needs," said Steve Center, vice president of the Environmental Business Development Office, American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
