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.

Honda issues bizarre non-recall on Odyssey over badge placement

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Without looking under the hood or at a vehicle history report, one of the easiest way to tell if a car has had body work done is to check the location and placement of the exterior badges. A crooked, misplaced or missing badge can be a telltale sign that there has been some sort of body or paint work. For this reason, Honda is suggesting that some owners of the 2014 Odyssey take their vans into the dealership for a little rebadging.
The topic was brought to light after Consumer Reports received a notice from Honda saying that the "Odyssey" badge on its test vehicle was incorrectly installed at the factory. The badge is supposed to go on the driver's side of the liftgate (as shown above), but the customer vehicles had it placed on the passenger side of the car. Not a huge deal unless an owner is trying to sell the vehicle and the improperly installed badge leads potential owners into believing the vehicle may have been damaged in some way. Here's what Honda said in its letter:
On some 2013 Odyssey vehicles, the Odyssey emblem was incorrectly installed on the passenger's side of the rear tailgate. The emblem should be installed on the drivers' side of the rear tailgate. American Honda Motor Company highly recommends that you participate in this Product Update. The placement of the emblem may indicate that the vehicle has had repairs performed that are consistent with it being in a crash. This could affect the resale value of the vehicle.

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US Â– with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) Â– Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the YearÂ® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the YearÂ® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the YearÂ® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.

Honda builds custom Civic Si based on Forza Motorsport design contest

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Forza Motorsport games are known for a few things, one of which is the extensive range of customization options available for each car. Gamers have complete control over the look and size of wheels, window tints, paints and decals, as well as various different finishes. For Forza Motorsport 5, players even have access to carbon fiber, gold, chrome, brass and camouflaged finishes.
To celebrate this, Honda held a little contest among gamers that challenged them to prepare a custom Civic Si. The winner would see their design applied to an actual car and shown at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show. This is that car. Designed by Tiffany Labedz, it was one of 170 entries in the Forza Motorsport Civic Si Design Contest. It took the title, with 17,000 votes from members of the Forza community.
Take a look up top for our live gallery, and then down below for the press release and images of the car from the press conferences as well as in Forza Horizon.
