This 2008 civic hybrid is in great shape and drives perfectly.  It has a clean california title.  It was a well maintained 1 owner vehicle with lots of highway miles when we bought, and we sought it out because my fiance needed a reliable vehicle for her sales job with high MPG.  Its been great for us, but unfortunately she needs a slightly larger vehicle for work.  We just had it serviced with new brakes front and back (including reconditioning and replacement of rotors), serpentine belt(s?), engine and cabin air filter, and an oil change.  

As mentioned in the condition section, it does has a few small scraps and dings that you might expect from a vehicle with higher mileage.  also has one longer scrape along the passenger side which is hard to notice (almost impossible to see in the pictures), but does cause the passenger door to catch a bit when opening it, and the side mirror mount was knocked loose.  we reattached the mirror, which was not cracked or chipped at all, and it is pretty secure.  The mirror controls still work perfectly, and the mirror is perfect, but the whole piece no longer bends in (like you might do for a tight parking spot).

The IMA/engine light comes on and off(IMA is honda's hybrid Integrated Motor Assist), and sometimes the battery charge will go from full to zero then slowly recharge, but wether the light is on or off we've still gotten close to 45 mpg on highway trips. (see the pictures for shots of the trip and MPG during a drive down to san diego when the light was on, then turned off)

(for california residents:  this car requires NO SMOG, and is registered until dec 2014, with zero DMV fees owed.  I don't know if other states require emissions/smog from hybrid vehicles)

This is a really terrific and reliable car, and has honda's unbeatable reputation and resale value.
The auction is pick up only, but i wouldn't hesitate to drive this car across the country and can arrange delivery with a service like uship, or possibly even deliver it myself for a fee.
Feel free to ask any questions!

Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000

Tue, 07 May 2013

There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.

Honda takes us through 50 years of automobiles in 60 seconds

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Honda's wonderfully simple, fun ads are not in short supply right now. We showed you Hands, the followup to 2003's The Cog, last week. If you haven't had a chance to look at those two great videos, we strongly encourage you to head over that way and give them a watch.
The latest minute-long commercial is a bit more dear, though. And while it may be in Japanese, it's still a cool look back at Honda and its car-building history.
This is also a great video if you're a fan of odd, vintage Japanese vehicles. Honda's T360 and a few old Civics are featured heavily, although we can't help but notice that a few very big names are missing. Where's the NSX or the S2000? How about the original Insight, a car so revolutionary it still has a cult following today? Honda has made some great cars, we just wish it'd show off more of them. Check out the video below.

Honda ditching Takata for next Accord's airbags

Sat, Jan 24 2015

Today brings unsurprising news that Honda will move away from Takata and source airbags for the next-generation Accord, among other models, from one of the embattled company's competitors. Both companies have been in headlines of late after the former recalled millions of vehicles that were fitted with the latter's airbag inflators, which had the unpleasant tendency to spew shrapnel at consumers. The move, as Reuters explains it, is particularly devastating for Takata. Honda is the company's largest customer, and the Accord represents its biggest product, accounting for over a quarter of the company's sales last year. It gets worse, though, as a confidential source with knowledge of the situation is reporting to Reuters that both the 2016 CR-V and Odyssey will source their airbags from Toyoda Gosei. If true, that'd mean that Takata will be losing out on more than half the cars Honda sells in the US market. At this point, Takata, Honda and Toyoda Gosei have all passed on opportunities to comment to Reuters.
