Comments:
I purchased this from someone who did not use it much. Many things were missing and I replaced them with new Honda OEM parts. I also replaced the IMA battery with a new 30% increased capacity (cost $3000).
This was fully checked out by Honda Riverside after I purchased the car (May 2014) to fix and/or replace any necessary parts with new ones. 1st and 2nd gears grid a bit ONLY down-shifting, regular up-shifting has no problems. The mechanic at Riverside Honda said this was common for this cars transmission. He guaranteed 70,000 more miles before it needs overhaul. Overhaul is $2800.
I used this for 3 months while I commuted to San Diego (1.5 hr drive) and no longer need the car (I'm moving). Great gas mileage (I got 83 MPG on the freeways!), easy and fun to drive. The grid charger is great, high quality (not like the "computer power-supplies" that most people sell) and required to maintain the battery replacement warranty. I have all documents and receipts, including the title. This car has a clean record, no accidents, just a two minor door dings (passenger door) and scratches (passenger mirror) from its age (see pictures).  Paint is in good condition, a bit weathered, but looks great with 3 new coats of McGuire's Car Wax!  I have put less than 2,000 miles on this car since I purchased it.


Deposit and payment:
Deposit of $500 is due immediately after auction end to our PayPal account. Remainder is due within 3 days. I will not accept PayPal for the remainder, unless you cover the transfer fee. If you require a special agreement for payment, please contact me prior to bidding. Thank you.


BIDDING TERMS: 
If you have a zero feedback score, I ask that you email me PRIOR to bidding to introduce yourself. I do this simply because I have had experiences with less-than-forthright bidders who disappear after the auction is over, which only causes frustration and raises the bid on our real, human bidders with actual intent to complete the sale. I reserve the right to cancel bids on zero feedback bidders that do not follow through with this request.


Title:
You will be supplied with a California title and a bill of sale from me. Title is ready and available to either hand to you for registration in your state or possibly get temporary tags until which time you can register car in your name. Car will come with license plates. All documents are in order for transfer. All other bidders from all other areas, title will be signed over and handed to you, so you can obtain registration in your state.

Questions:
Please, please, PLEASE, read everything here so there are no surprises. I like for our sales to go as smoothly as possible, so ask questions BEFORE you bid. It is unacceptable for a buyer to show up on delivery day and be surprised about something that is clearly listed in the description. I am here to answer questions, so please ask.

2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid vs other hybrid crossovers | How they compare on paper

Thu, Sep 19 2019

The long-anticipated 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid was announced yesterday, and although we don't have every spec available (including the all-important official fuel economy figures), Honda provided enough that we can piece together a comparison of powertrain specs and dimensions. The same can be said of the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, which we just drove for the first time.  Together, they represent a significant increase in the number of compact crossover hybrids, as the current total is one: the 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The old Nissan Rogue Hybrid has been discontinued, leaving the subcompact Kia Niro Hybrid as the only other vehicle in the ballpark. As you'll see below, its size and performance are much different than the others, but its fuel economy and price are superior.  Performance The RAV4 Hybrid is the performance champ of the group, but both it and the new CR-V Hybrid are actually more powerful than their respective gas-only siblings. Although the added weight of its battery pack negates much of that horsepower advantage, the RAV4 Hybrid's subsequent acceleration is indeed a smidge quicker than the gas-only version. It will be interesting to see if that's the case with the CR-V. By contrast, the Ford Escape offers a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo engine, meaning the hybrid variation is most definitely not the Escape's highest-performance offering. Nevertheless, the Hybrid does produce more power than the base 181-horsepower 1.5-liter three-cylinder. The Niro, meanwhile, brings up the rear in terms of performance, but Kia estimates a perfectly acceptable 0-60 time of 8.6 seconds. The others are likely in the mid-7-second range. Fuel economy This is ultimately an open question since we don't have official figures for the CR-V and Escape. Based on Honda's estimate of the CR-V Hybrid being 50% more efficient in the city than the gas-only version, our calculators say it should get 43 mpg in the city. Then, based on information provided on the Escape Hybrid first drive and some more calculation, our best guestimate for it is 40 mpg. Either way, given how mpg is calculated, any potential differences between them in terms of actual fuel burned should be negligible.  On the other hand, most Kia Niros sold get 51 mpg in the city and 49 mpg combined. According to the EPA, that translates to an annual average fuel cost of $750. The RAV4 Hybrid, by contrast, is $900.  FWD vs AWD Note that the CR-V and RAV4 come standard with all-wheel drive.

Consumer Reports' first motorcycle reliability report finds Japanese brands ahead

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its first ever study of motorcycle reliability, and students of its ratings on cars might notice a suspicious similarity - Japanese brands require fewer repairs than the leading American or German brands.
The study analyzed the reliability of 4,680 bikes owned by CR subscribers and found that Yamaha had the best ratings, with just one in ten bikes built between 2009 and 2012 requiring a repair over a four-year period. The makers of the R1 and R6 sport bikes were closely followed by Kawasaki and Honda, while one out of every four of the rumbling bikes from Harley-Davidson experienced an issue. BMW had the worst rating of the brands represented, with one in three bikes having problems.
According to CR, neither Suzuki nor Triumph owners provided enough information for a reliable rating. Based on the responses received, though, Suzuki would have finished with the other Japanese brands and Triumph, being English, would have been one of the less reliable makes.

Acura introduces a sleeker self-driving test car

Wed, May 18 2016

As we creep ever closer to an autonomous-car future, one thing is for certain, most of the driverless cars we see being tested look hideous thanks to all the sensors strapped to the roof. Today Acura introduced its second generation Automated Acura RLX Development Vehicle with updated sensors and a more pleasing aesthetic. Gone is the spinning LIDAR system replaced with a more compact and robust version of the light detection and ranging technology. It's also got updated RADAR, camera, GPS and higher performance GPUs and CPUs as well as what Acura is calling "more intelligent software algorithms to support more complex testing scenarios." Acura and its parent company Honda have been testing autonomous cars at its GoMentum Station in the Bay Area since last year with a specially outfitted RLX (shown in the video above with the spinning LIDAR system). This new car will replace that vehicle. This article by Roberto Baldwin originally ran on Engadget, the definitive guide to this connected life.
