Gently Driven Family Owned Car on 2040-cars
Frankford, Delaware, United States
Two owner car. My sister bought it new in Calif., then passed it on to my nephew in Virginia, who has now moved across country.
It's a great little car that gets 30 mpg. The only thing not working is the cruise control. They apparently get water leaked into them and go bad.
The windshield has a long crack across the lower part and must be replaced for inspection. The airbag light is on; there's a factory recall for that fix and also for some front fog light wiring (I think). The chrome "H" on the grill is gone. All lights work as they should.
The paint is in good shape and still pretty shiny, except for the trunk which has scratches on it; probably from strapping a bicycle on it. I haven't tried to wax or buff it. In the photos, there is a reflection showing on the left side of the trunk. The front plastic bumper fascia has a bunch of scrapes and scratches, and one punctured part about the size of a tennis ball. There are some long, light scratches on the sides of the car. It looks good from 15 ft. away, for a 12 yr. old car. Hood has paint chips and looks like a kid sat on it. Dent should pop out. Photo shows a refection, not the hood dent.
I have driven this car from Virginia to Delaware where I live, and it is a fun car to drive. Very peppy engine.

2014 Honda Odyssey gets some tidy tweaks [w/video]
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Here in New York, Honda is offering up a refreshed version of its well-liked Odyssey minivan, bringing with it a slew of updates including the segment's first in-car vacuum. It looks to be a neat little feature, one that families will no doubt get a lot of use out of. Kids are spill-machines, after all.
On the outside, the Odyssey gets a revised front end with dark headlamp surrounds, shiny cross-bars in the grille, and an aluminum hood and bumper. We think the blacked-out grille trim looks fine on this charcoal model, but question how smart it will look on models with lighter paint tones. Out back, there are new LED taillamps, and it looks like a new wheel design will be on offer, too.
Other changes for the 2014 Odyssey include some structural reinforcements for improved safety and some new available nannies like lane-departure warning and forward collision warning. Inside, buyers will find new finishes inside the cabin, a redesigned center stack and pushbutton start. Scroll down for the full details in an official video and in Honda's press release, and have a look at new images live from the show floor in the gallery above.
McLaren pondering Honda-powered 911 killer?
Tue, 21 May 2013As one of the premier sports cars in the world, the Porsche 911 is always driving around with a target on its rear-engined backside. If a new report is to be believed, the latest automaker with plans to build a 911-fighting sports coupe could be McLaren. Motor Trend is reporting that the recent news that Honda and McLaren are teaming up to build Formula One racecars could bear road-going fruit as well.
According to the article, the unnamed entry-level McLaren coupe may be powered by a Honda-sourced engine, but a detuned version of the 3.8-liter V8 from the MP4-12C is said to be more likely. All in, though, there is no solid information on the car just yet. As a reminder, M/T points out that the last time McLaren partnered up with a mainstream automaker, the world was introduced to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
Honda Gear concept explored at Montreal Auto Show
Fri, 18 Jan 2013Our friends at Autoblog Canada have just come away with a closer look at Honda's surprise Gear Concept at the Montreal Auto Show. The little three-door hatchback is arguably the automaker's first real shot at the North American city car market (the Gear is much smaller than the Fit) and may be an indication that Honda is getting serious about going after Scion on this side of the world after the CR-Z hybrid failed to deliver. Honda says the Gear Concept takes its inspiration from the fixed-gear bicycle scene, and should allow buyers an unprecedented level of customization. Designers also wanted to show that a car can be both fun and practical.
We're all for a compact stylish three door with functional room inside, but given Honda's propensity for draining the personality from its concepts on the way to production (at least the ones that don't look showroom ready), we don't hold much hope for the Gear. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
