Here it is! Our 2000 Honda Insight Hybrid car! We purchased this from the original owner, an older woman from Oklahoma about 2 years ago. Prior to our purchase, she had the transmission rebuilt, which as all you Insight fanatics know, is a bonus that has eliminated the grind when downshifting from third to second and from second to first. It also had a new battery put in in the last 3-5 years. The upholstery has also been redone. The former owner, as well as current owners…me) was very particular about this car, its upkeep and repair. It really shows! There are NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS on in the dash. Auto stop works correctly. Radio works. A/C IS ICE COLD!!! The battery charges and discharges well. Has a good boost. It is a 5 speed which gives better mileage (in my opinion) than the automatic. The lifetime is 54.9. My wife drove this for the last two years and gets mid 40's. She also loves the A/C, and driving quickly shall we say? On my way home from Oklahoma when I bought this, I was getting 72 mpg!!! This is our third Insight and I took great pride in trying to squeeze out every mile I could. These cars are very mpg sensitive, as you know, depending on use of a/c, wind, temperature, speed, additional passengers and extra weight in the hatchback area.

Here are some things you will want to know. Car will need new tires. Evenly worn, but down to the wear bars. Will need a new windshield. Has a crack in it which I showed in the pics. Only has one hatch lift and it is not quite enough to keep the hatch up. Needs another hatch lift. HEADLIGHTS ARE CLEAR because after the last buffing, the former owner put clear packing tape and they are still clear now.

These are desirable little cars and this one can be purchased at your price! This is a no reserve auction starting at one penny! Lasts only five days. If you have any questions, email me with your number and I can call you and we'l talk. I've been on ebay for 14 years and have sold several vehicles as well as other items with a 100% feedback. Thanks for looking out my listing and good luck in the auction.

2015 Acura NSX burns to the ground at the 'Ring [w/video]

Thu, Jul 24 2014

Assuming all goes to plan, automakers test their vehicles to the breaking point in the months and years leading up to that vehicle's actual release into the public. Which is good, because it's much better for a car to break in glorious fashion in the hands of the company that produces it than in the driveway of an owner who just spent their hard-earned cash to get it. Such was the case with this production-guise Acura NSX prototype that we saw running around the Nurburgring just the other day. We can't be 100-percent certain, but the burned-out carcass is wearing the same number plate as the car that was spotted earlier, so it's likely the very same NSX. We have no idea what was the cause of the blaze that turned this Acura into the car-b-q you see pictured above, but our spy shooters on the ground in Germany say it was not involved in any collision, having caught on fire all on its own with engineers behind the wheel. The good news is that nobody was hurt, though the car is quite clearly a complete loss. We're sure there's another ready to to test in the burned car's place... just as soon as the engineers at Honda figure out exactly what went wrong. Have a look at the smoldering aftermath up above, and feel free to scroll down below to see a video of the car in much better circumstances.

2014 Honda HPD CR-Z

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Honda invited us to its Southern California North American headquarters last week to take a spin in a very special CR-Z - one modified with a full complement of Honda Performance Development (HPD) components. While the company has been racing with HPD parts for years, this is the first time the automaker has offered them for its street-legal vehicles, and it has chosen this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas to be the launch venue. Last year, Honda introduced the HPD Supercharged CR-Z Concept at SEMA - this is the slightly modified production version.
The complete transformation gives the normally placid hybrid hatchback a serious shot of adrenaline thanks to a bolt-on supercharger combined with suspension, tire, brake and exhaust upgrades. In addition to the blower (detailed in a bullet point below), new HPD suspension components lower the car by about half an inch, and firmer spring rates stiffen the ride. Stock 16- or 17-inch wheels are then replaced with HPD 18-inch alloys wrapped in sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (215/40ZR18 at all corners). The clutch is upgraded, a limited-slip differential is installed and new HPD monobloc four-piston calipers are fitted over slotted and ventilated iron rotors up front (the single-pistons over solid discs on the back axle are unchanged). In the rear, the stock hidden single exhaust pipe is replaced by a free-flow twin-tip exhaust that peers out of a new HPD lower diffuser. Other cosmetic enhancements include an HPD front lip spoiler, rear deck lid spoiler and an HPD emblem kit for each side. To say the CR-Z is transformed by the complete HPD package is an understatement.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
