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.

Design Handbook explains the difference between design and styling

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

It's easy to confuse the terms 'design' and 'style,' but Jim Hall attempts to explain the difference between the two in his latest Design Handbook video column for Autoline. Before relating the terms to cars, Hall first uses other, non-automotive-related examples to prove his point, such as a well-designed glass versus a well-styled glass. Both do their job well as a result of good designs, he claims, but one stands out more because it also was styled.
When he relates his lesson to cars, he uses the 2013 Honda Accord and the new Chevrolet Impala as examples, but you'll have to watch the video below to find out which car he thinks is merely designed and which one has been styled.
We've also included a gallery of the Honda and a gallery of the Chevrolet so you can decide for yourself which one of these vehicles has been designed, and which one has been styled.

Best compact SUVs of 2022

Thu, Oct 20 2022

Compact SUVs are now the go-to choice for family transportation. Actually, considering how popular they are, they have clearly moved beyond only family duty. With such popularity, though, comes an awful lot of competitors, and it can be difficult to figure out which one might be the best compact SUV for you.  It's important to note that by "compact SUV" we're talking about a specific segment. As we describe in our more comprehensive "Best small SUVs" list, there are also subcompact SUVs that vary widely in size amongst themselves, but are clearly smaller than the SUVs below. Frankly, today's segment of compact SUVs isn't exactly compact — some have more cargo space than vehicles that are considered midsize based on their exterior dimensions. They've all grown considerably over the years. While many lists out there just rattle off every vehicle available in a segment, we thought we'd be a bit more helpful and curate your shopping a bit with the top-recommended choices reviewed by Autoblog. We've included both mainstream and compact luxury SUV choices. Best compact SUVs of 2023 and 2024 2024 Honda CR-V Why it stands out: Best-in-class space; excellent hybrid powertrain; sharp interior style; Honda dependabilityCould be better: No lower-price base trim levels; no sporty or off-road niche models; no plug-in hybrid Read our full 2024 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search, and look extra closely at the superb CR-V Hybrid option. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, strong-yet-efficient engines, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features,  and well-regarded reliability. It's easy to see why it continues to be such a best-seller: for the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, it checks every box. That's been the case for many years now, however. The all-new 2023 Honda CR-V changes things up by adding a bit more style and character, particularly in terms of its interior design and how surprisingly enjoyable the Sport and Sport Touring hybrid trim levels are to drive.

Honda pulling plug on slow-selling Insight hybrid

Wed, 26 Feb 2014



Insight hasn't amounted to even a tenth of Prius sales, and well over half of those sold were JDM.
It's been a rough ride for the Honda Insight, and now its journey appears to be at an end - word is that the five-door hybrid hatchback is going out of production.
