Condition

- Engine:  Excellent running condition, typical MPG is 33-34 combined city/hwy.  Hwy only can reach 38 MPG depending on how fast you drive.  City only you should expect 30 mpg.  Oil changed regularly @ 6k intervals on dino or 9k intervals on synthetic.  Currently running Mobil 1 synthetic and due for an oil change and new spark plugs in approx 2000 miles.  Right rear disc brake works but shows some uneven wear.  New tires w/ 40k tread life.  A/C blows cold.  Slight engine rust as one would expect for an 8 year old car.
- Exterior: Two front bumper scratches visible in pictures.  Some small dings on hood and sides, typical for an 8-year old used car.  One rock chip in windshield. Replaced rear bumper for cosmetic reasons after brushing a post--damage was cosmetic to the bumper only.  Left rear wheel rim has some scratches from the most recent tire change.
- Interior: Shows signs of use but no major damage. Small tear on right rear seat, see pictures.   Driver side visor works but requires caution lifting back "up" due to a manufacturing defect - Honda has issued a TSB on this problem.  If  you squeeze the visor while lifting, it's fine--however, if fixing this is essential to you, a new visor costs ~$60 at typical online parts websites and is an easy fix. 
- Electronics: Good working condition.  No 'Check Engine' or other status messages light up.  Only flaw is approximately 3-4 times per year,on starting car, the stereo plays a loud buzzing tone.  Restarting the car resets this.  Only repair to electronics is in ~2009 after a status light came on, the dealer repaired a cut airbag system wire that detects if someone is sitting in the seat.  All 4 power windows work, both power mirrors work, power locks work, moonroof works.  Cruise control works.

Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.

Boston woman's car finally free from 100 inches of snow

Thu, Mar 19 2015

It's a car owner's worst winter nightmare: Snowfall so heavy that you can't dig your vehicle out of it. That's exactly what happened to Jillian Tenen, whose 2007 Honda Civic was buried in the snow in Boston for seven weeks after historic winter storms. Tenen's car was initially stuck after a snowfall in late January, but she didn't dig it out because she had the flu. "I'm 5' 2," and it was all ice, an iceberg on top of my car," she told the Boston Globe. "I couldn't reach it. I couldn't lift it. And even if I could, there was nowhere to put it. I just didn't know what to do," she said. Tenen reached out for help to the city, her insurance company and a tow truck company, but they refused to help her. Finally when the weather warmed up, Tenen used an ice chopper to get into her car. The windshield was damaged, however, the car started on its own. "If I had to do it again, I would definitely do one thing differently... I would not park on the corner," Tenen said.

Honda fixes Fit flaw, improves performance on key crash test [w/video]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014



The Fit's grade on the small-front overlap test improved from "marginal" to "acceptable."
Back in March, safety engineers at Honda were disappointed when the much-anticipated 2015 Fit received a substandard grade on an important crash test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
