2001 Honda Hybrid Insight.

I am the third owner. I purchased from a local teacher and she purchased from a local teacher who purchased it from the Honda dealership new.

I absolutely love this car! I am selling it because it needs to be driven and I am not driving it enough.

The IMA battery (the electric battery) was replaced on 7/19/12 for the second time.

The new battery is waranteed by the Honda dealership for three years from the time of installation.

All servicing while I have owned the vehicle has been done by the Honda Tony dealership in Waipahu.

The first time the battery was replaced they said I wasn't driving the car enough. I have only driven this car 5,510 miles in 16 months. It needs to be driven much more than I do to keep the IMA battery in shape.

This also happened the second time it was replaced. So, I am selling it because this car needs to be owned by someone who will drive it. PERFECT commuter car. It gets up to 70mpg!

Aluminum body won't rust in the tropical humidity!

These cars were produced to be driven on the freeways as commuter cars.

The gas mileage is phenomenal on this vehicle. You will be very happy.

This vehicle has been in one minor collision. I was on my way to hula practice and some little old lady bumped into the back. The insurance fixed to new status.

There is a scrape and please view the photos on the front driver's side quarter panel. This was done when it was parked while I was surfing here on the North Shore. Only cosmetic as the most important aspects are the IMA battery which is basically new and also the impeccable servicing which was all done at the dealership.

Extras include WET OKOLE custom car neoprene seat covers (see photos) and also custom window tinting on all windows except of course the front windshield.

Driver's side window has some minor issues when trying to raise it. It raises but slowly sometimes.

Car is VERY clean inside and out. I take very good care of my cars. I am NOT a smoker and never allowed any smokers in the car. I also know this to be true with the first two owners as well.

I do own a yellow lab and he rode with me infrequently in the car. I do keep it vacuumed and clean carpets frequently.

Please contact me with any other questions you might have. I am NOT a dealer, so I am representing this vehicle as honestly and fairly as possible.

She is a great little car and gets the WOW factor when you drive her around the island. She looks like a little space capsule ! If you want attention while driving it, you will get it with this car.

I get stares while driving all the time. I just wave and honk!

Aloha and thank you for looking at this listing.

Bonkers Honda Vezel headlines Mugen's lineup at Tokyo Auto Salon

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Japanese automakers and their tuning divisions have descended upon the Makuhari Messe in Chiba City for the 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon. And for Honda, it's all about Mugen.
Honda's Japanese Domestic Market tuning division brought a series of modified concepts and racing cars to the salon this year, including the CR-Z hybrid touring car it fields in the Super GT series, the SF13 single-seater from the Super Formula series as well as customized versions of the Fit, Odyssey and N-WGN. But the prize for the most outrageous of them all surely goes to the modified Vezel you see above.
Modeled on Honda's new Fit-based crossover, the Mugen Vezel Concept goes further than the versions we've seen until now. It features a bonkers body kit, dual exhaust, brake upgrade, sport suspension, intricate 20-inch alloy wheels and an upgraded interior. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're feeling still interested, you can check it out in the gallery above, along with the announcement below and the specs on Mugen's website.

Honda recalls nearly 350k Odyssey minivans over unintended braking

Sun, 03 Nov 2013

A problem reported with the Vehicle Safety Assist System has prompted Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for Odyssey minivans from the 2007 and 2008 model years.
The issue revolves around a combination of parts and software that have been reported to cause the vehicle to brake hard and unexpectedly, without illuminating the brake lights. Imagine driving behind one of these vehicles when the malfunction occurs and you can easily understand how an unexpected rear-end collision could ensue.
Unfortunately, Honda won't be able to fix the problem until next spring, at which point the manufacturer will call in the 344,187 units affected into their local dealership for a fix. In the meantime, Honda will instruct owners on how to avoid the situation. For further details, see the full recall notice below.

Senna's McLaren drives Honda up the wall

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

Honda is getting excited for its imminent return to Formula One with McLaren. So excited, in fact, that it got its new/old friends from Woking to loan it one of its old F1 cars. But not just any old F1 car...
On display at the Honda stand in Frankfurt this year is the 1988 McLaren MP4-4 in which the legendary Ayrton Senna drove to fifteen out of sixteen grands prix that season to take the championship in spectacular style.
Honda provided the engine for that car, a 1.5-liter turbo V6 with upwards of 600 horsepower to propel less than 1,200 lbs. Of course this being a static display car, it's likely been stripped of its engine, gearbox and most other internal mechanical components. But that doesn't make the sight of it any less memorable.
