   If you want one of the lowest original mile, first gen 5-speed insights in the country, read on!  I have owned many First Gen Honda Insights over the last 6 years or so.  This is the lowest original mile insight I've been able to find!  It is from Ohio it's whole life, and I keep it in my garage.  And it shows!  The body is very nice, and the paint shines!  The usual items that get sun baked are not (rear wing, a-pillar trims, steering wheel, side mirrors, headlights, exterior moldings, door handles, emblems, roof pinch weld moldings, etc, etc.)  The usual items that get corroded due to salt exposure are not (brake lines, brackets, nuts, bolts, trim pieces, suspension pieces, underhood items, etc.)  Interior-wise, again, the car is very nice.  Neither the seats nor the rug are worn through (both normal for these cars,) the steering wheel, dash, headliner, door panels, trunk carpeting, etc have no rips or heavy wear.  All the rubber is intact, with no rips (around the doors, rear hatch, hood, etc.)  It has the correct Bridgestone RE92 tires with a very good amount of tread remaining (they look newer and ride great!)   Mechanically, everything works on the car.  It performs flawlessly, gets into and holds lean burn perfectly, does not leak or burn any fluids at all, and is a super smooth rider.  IMA-wise, the battery charges and discharges exactly as it should.  It assists and regens exactly as it should.  I've wired the car for my digital grid charger (again, as I do all my insights,) and cycle the pack regularly (considering the car is stored in my garage and not being driven.)  For those not in the know, grid charging the pack peaks and equalizes the cells within the pack.  This is extremely good for the battery, and prolongs it's life and health.  The car has the owners manual, both keys and a remote, too.  Transmission-wise, it shifts perfectly with no synchro grind or issues whatsoever.  The clutch and slave cylinder are perfect too.  Accessory-wise, again, everything works exactly as it should; heater, ice cold air conditioning, blower fan, power windows and switches, power locks and switches, turn signals, every bulb inside and out, all the dash including the trip meter, horn, turn signals, stock Honda am/fm/cassette stereo, speakers, rear trunk release actuator, rear trunk lock, hatch struts, etc, etc.  This car is as nice as they come.  All jack equipment and spare tire are in place and in good shape, too.  It drives extremely tight with no rattles or squeaks, (as should be expected from such a low mile vehicle.)  I have the clean and clear transferable title, with no liens, in my name.  So, if you want the best car for your money, look no further.  Can you buy an insight cheaper?  Yup.  But what you save in initial costs, you'll put back into the car fixing the stuff it needs.  And you still won't have nearly as nice a car!  These first gen 5-speeds are extremely fun to drive, and even more fun when you realise you only go thru about 10 gallons of gas, every 700+ miles or so!  This is where the old saying, "You get what you pay for" holds quite true!  I encourage you to come look at and drive the car yourslf, or have a 3rd party come check it out on your behalf!  Any questions; call me directly at 716-946-6070.

Thanks for your time and consideration!

Respectfully,

Chris in Gasport, N.Y. (14067)

PS:  I also have an all original Citrus-colored 2000 5-speed from Florida with only 88k miles, that I'll be listing within the next few weeks; feel free to inquire. 

Also, on any of my insights, I can add any of the desirable modifications (grid charger, clutch interrupt circuit, brake regen circuit, throttle smoothing circuit) all of which I build, sell and regularly install myself on my daily drivers and other's insights, at cost. If you do purchase an insight from me, I always offer the buyer one of my grid chargers at a discounted price.  If you want to read up any of these mods, near the top right of your ebay home page, hit the "see other items" button.  You can read up on these extremely versatile and widely used mods among the insight owners community.

Honda Civic Tourer to debut at Frankfurt

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Honda will be bringing its new Civic Tourer to next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, just as we predicted in our spy shots of the new MPV from back in April. The new model, which will arrive in European dealers in 2014, will be built alongside Honda's Euro-spec Civic hatchback, Jazz (Honda Fit) and CR-V in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK.
Honda first hinted at the Civic Tourer with a concept at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, which is set to do battle with the Toyota Auris and Volkswagen Golf in the European market. The production Civic Tourer will also be shown alongside a refreshed Civic hatchback, yet another NSX Concept variant, a McLaren MP4/4 Formula One car, and Honda's World Touring Car Championship Civic.

NHTSA expands new Takata probe to 4 more automakers

Thu, Dec 19 2019

DETROIT — The U.S. government's highway safety agency has launched an investigation into four additional automakers that have a potentially deadly type of Takata air bag inflator in their vehicles but have yet to recall them. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in documents posted Thursday that it is investigating Audi, Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi in connection with a Takata recall involving 1.4 million inflators. This brings the total number of manufacturers potentially impacted to five, as BMW was connected to the issue when it was brought to light earlier in December. The inflators made by the now-bankrupt Takata have a distinct and separate problem that can cause them to blow apart a metal canister and spew shrapnel into people's faces and bodies. The problem killed a driver in Australia who was in an older 3-Series BMW, which has already recalled more than 116,000 vehicles. The problem is so dangerous that in some cases BMW has told drivers to park their vehicles until repairs can be made. The safety agency says in documents that Takata didn't provide details on the affected makes, models or model years of vehicles with the defective inflators. So it is telling the companies to recall them promptly. The agency says that based on when the faulty inflators were produced, it's likely that the vehicles to be recalled came from the 1995 through 2000 model years. In letters to all four automakers, NHTSA says they have five business days to notify the agency after finding out about a safety defect. “If your company has not yet gathered enough evidence to make a determination that the subject air bag inflators present an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety, reply with a detailed work plan including the benchmark dates required to make the determination,” the agency wrote in letters to all four automakers dated Wednesday. A Honda spokesman said Thursday it hasn't determined yet whether its vehicles are affected, but a decision should be made soon. Audi, Mitsubishi and Toyota said they are still investigating. NHTSA has told the companies to respond by Jan. 17. On Dec. 4, NHTSA posted documents from Takata and BMW detailing the problems. The documents said the Australian driver was killed, while another Australian driver and a driver in Cyprus were injured. Unlike previous recalls, the Takata non-azide inflators do not use volatile ammonium nitrate to fill the air bags in a crash.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
