2001 Honda Insight Base Hatchback 3-door 1.0l on 2040-cars
North Ridgeville, Ohio, United States
2001 Honda Insight. The automobile drives perfectly strait
down the road.. and runs great. It is
from the Carolina’s. I have been the owner of the car for about 2 years I am
guessing. I needed a car with great fuel
economy… great dependability.. and the best one I could find was the Honda insight..
with over 50 mpg. It lives up to its standards. Being that the car is made out of
aluminum, from top to bottom, one will not have to be concerned about the car becoming
a rust bucket. It has new spark plugs. Oil
changes are done with the best oil available. The timing belt is a chain.. so you don’t have
to change it like regular Honda auto’s.
When I purchased it.. it had a dent on the car. It looked like a car
backed into the area just past the passenger door.. and I had it fixed
correctly. The dealership I purchased
the car through.. could not find me a stick shift Honda insight in blue. They were all on the west coast…and mostly
automatic. I desired one in a stick
shift for the better miles per gallon. I
feel the stick shift is more dependable..
and more fun to drive. The only problem was the one they did find in
the Carolina’s was a salvage title.. because the insurance company did not want
to fix the dent for the previous owner. I looked at pictures and decided the
damage was so small, that it would be worth fixing. I had it inspected and
Honda said I needed a new hybrid battery because it was 11 years old.. even
though it drove fine.. so I had it replaced along with an o2 sensor. The car will now and then get a check engine
light code that says the cataletic converter is on its way out. right now the light is not on.. but it will probably come back.. That converter is 200 dollars new on ebay if
someone chooses to replace it. The Honda shifts well. Clutch is
great. There is a smaller check mark shaped scratch on the right rear of the back bumper..noticeable close up. a couple
of little scratches and some nicks
around the car and some stone chips on the front of the car.. and a little scrape on the front bumper cover's clear coat.. hardly noticeable.. There
is one tiny ding on the car that I noticed on the driver’s door.. too small to
get a picture of it... Most of the stuff is only noticeable from a foot away.
The car looks great otherwise.. The windshield had a small crack.. so I replaced
it. There is no warranty on the car. The ABS brakes work fine.. brakes have been
checked and have plenty of life in them.. and stop very well. The tires are good. The electronics inside
the vehicle work well. It still has the
original cassette radio in it.... The air conditioning works great. This car has been more dependable than any car
I have had prior, and I would not be selling this car if I could fit more
family members into it. I still get
people pointing at.. and complimenting the Honda which tells me that it still
looks pretty good. Please stop by and take the car for a ride if you
desire. (440) 759-9683. I have tried to describe all the little things wrong with the car the best I could.
P.S. I have purchased
a hybrid battery grid charger for the vehicle.. and will throw that in with the
car if the price of the car goes above $3,500.00… If the charger gets installed.. It just allows someone to plug the car into a wall
outlet to keep the hybrid battery at peak performance. This charger is a permanent part of the car once installed..
and will only fit this style Honda Insight. It has instructions and should be installed by a mechanic facility. The car doesn't actually need the charger.. the car itself handles charging the battery as it is driven. Its just an extra item for better miles per gallon and ensuring the hybrid battery lasts as long as possible:) |

Race recap: 2015 British Grand Prix is a testament to timing
Mon, Jul 6 2015In front of his home crowd, Lewis Hamilton actually had to work for pole position at the British Formula One Grand Prix. The World Champion couldn't get on top of the setup for his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on Friday, lapping behind teammate Nico Rosberg and the two Ferraris. Come Saturday, after a few alterations and a whole lot of wing to clamp down on understeer, Hamilton returned to his regular program at the front, taking pole position by just over a tenth of a second from his teammate. Williams, thought to be headed for another stretch in the weeds a few races ago, showed its best strength all year. The Grove team got both cars on the second row and in front of the Ferraris, Felipe Massa qualifying ahead of teammate Valtteri Bottas, but they were eight and nine tenths behind the Mercedes'. Kimi Raikkonen out-qualified Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel for the second time this year, and only the first time in a straight-up battle with two healthy cars. But more than a second behind the two cars at the front, and with two nearly-impossible-to-pass Williams' in front, neither the Finn nor the German is happy with where they are. Daniil Kvyat claimed seventh, his side of the garage at Infiniti Red Bull Racing having got through the weekend to that point without a single complaint about their Renault power unit. Carlos Sainz, Jr. put a single Toro Rosso inside the top ten in eighth position, ahead of Nico Hulkenberg who did the same for Sahara Force India by slotting in ninth. The second Infiniti Red Bull driven by Daniel Ricciardo did have an unspecified engine complaint – his car kept "bleeding power" on the straights – but even so he managed to qualify tenth with his second-fastest lap. The stewards deleted his best lap because he ran three centimeters outside the track limits at Copse, an infraction that stung a few other drivers as well. Up in front, what would sting the Mercedes-AMG Petronas drivers the most was the start. That's when a dearth of grip struck both Hamilton and Rosberg, allowing Massa and Bottas to slide right up the middle between them and take the first two places. The leapfrogging was so surprising that it looked like the Mercedes drivers were giving the Williams drivers a head start. They diced through the first corners, Hamilton sliding past Bottas into second place halfway through the lap. And then the safety car reported for duty.
Acura ILX Type S could get 300-hp turbo four
Wed, Feb 11 2015There's good news and bad news when it comes to the new Honda Civic Type R. The good news is that after more than a year of prototypes and concepts, the Japanese automaker's new hot hatch is about to make its production debut next month. The bad news is that it's not coming here, but there is a silver lining in even that dark rain cloud – namely, that Honda plans on slotting its 2.0-liter VTEC turbo four into something that it will actually offer Stateside. Earlier rumors suggested the US donor vehicle would also be a Civic, but the latest intel indicates it could be something different, albeit related. According to Car and Driver, which spoke recently with Acura product planning manager Gary Robinson, Honda's luxury division could be gearing up to shoehorn the engine into the recently updated ILX – which itself is based on the Civic. "Acura is always going to get the best engines Honda makes," said Robinson. "Obviously a 2.0-liter turbo is more of a must-have in the luxury world than it is in the mainstream" market, suggesting that an ILX Type S could be in the works with upwards of 300 horsepower. Getting it to fit, though, could prove a rather large challenge – and could mean the engine swap would have to wait until the next-generation model comes around. Considering that the ILX was just updated for 2016, C/D doesn't expect the full redesign to come until 2018 at the earliest. Here's hoping that if it takes that long, Honda will slot the engine into something else for US showrooms in the meantime. The revival of the Type S badge in and of itself, however, makes for an enticing prospect. The last time we saw it used was on the larger TL sedan, which upgraded the 3.2-liter V6 from the 225 horsepower to 260. Before that, the RSX jumped from 160 horsepower in the base model to 200 in the first Type S, 210 in the second and 217 in the ultimate Type R. As it stands, the new ILX (after dropping the hybrid and base 2.0 models, is powered exclusively by a 2.4-liter inline four with 201 hp on tap.
Honda bringing LMP2 racer to Pikes Peak
Thu, Jun 18 2015Pikes Peak always brings out an array of interesting entries. Honda has fielded quite a few of its own, but will take the unusual step this year of entering a Le Mans prototype. The new ARX-04b is the latest in a line of prototypes which Honda Performance Development and Wirth Research developed to compete in the LMP2 class in series like the FIA World Endurance Championship, the United SportsCar Series and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Though it's designed to race on closed circuits, Honda has announced that it'll be taking on the 156 turns and 12.42 miles of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this year. Driving duties will be handled by Justin Wilson, an accomplished British circuit racer who's competed in Formula One and won races in the IndyCar Series and in Champ Cars before it. He's also tried his hand at Formula E and competed in Le Mans prototypes before as well. Though it will be entered in the Unlimited class, it won't be gunning directly for the record set by Sebastien Loeb two years ago in the Peugeot 208 T16. At least not just yet. "This is an exploratory effort," said HPD chief Art St. Cyr, "to learn as much as we can in advance of a possible future assault on the outright record." We're looking forward to seeing what she'll do when the event takes place later this month. Honda-Powered HPD ARX-04b to tackle Pikes Peak Jun 17, 2015 - TORRANCE, Calif. - Indy car veteran, race winner Justin Wilson to pilot LMP2 machine - New coupe design debuted at 24 Hours of Daytona - Utilizes production-based 3.5 liter Honda V6 engine A number of different types of Honda and Acura vehicles have taken part in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in recent years, ranging from the Acura NSX to the Honda Fit, and even a high-speed Honda Odyssey, but Honda Performance Development has upped the ante this year by entering one its newest sports cars in the race up the 14,110-foot mountain. The new Honda-powered HPD ARX-04b LMP2 coupe that competed in this year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona has been entered in the 2015 Pikes Peak event, and will be driven by Verizon IndyCar Series race winner and former Formula 1 driver Justin Wilson. The ARX-04b will be the first full-carbon monocoque vehicle ever sanctioned for PPIHC entry and will be fitted with a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbocharged engine. The ARX-04b will compete in the Unlimited class, which features highly-modified cars that can navigate the 156 turns of the 12.42-mile course in under 10 minutes.
