2004 Honda Insight, 5-Speed Manual Transmission with 196,314 miles
- I purchased this car on July 8th of 2012. Since then, I have experienced some issues with the car as noted in detail below in the Detailed History and Known Issues section.
- I am the third owner of this vehicle and have a clear title issued by the state of Virginia.
- The car currently has 196,314 miles.
- I am selling it because my daily commute to and from work decreased significantly, and more importantly, I plan on moving soon and will not be able to take this and my other car with me.
- Vehicle Number: JHMZE13744T000366
- Engine Number: ECA1-1040367
- Color, Exterior / Interior: Silverstone Metallic / Beige
- 5-Speed Manual Transmission
- A/C (works great)
- CD player (I also added an iPod connection)
- Non-smoker / smoke-free
- 2012, July 8th: Car purchased from second owner. Approximately, 190,300 miles on the odometer. I have the CARFAX Vehicle History Report from back then if you are interested.
- 2012, July 9th ~ 13th: 190,639 miles. During the first week of ownership the Check Engine Light came on. I took it to the local Honda dealership (Williamsburg Honda) and they told me that the check engine light was due to Code P2000 ("Oxides of Nitrogen Trap Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1"). So, the car will need a new catalytic converter (expensive fix!) at some point in the future. At this time I had them do a 5K mile service which included: an oil change (0W20 Mobil), replacement of the transmission fluid, new air filter, new cabin filter, and new spark plugs were installed. The front wiper inserts were replaced as well. They also told me that the left rear shock was leaking, though they didn't note this as an issue on subsequent visits.
- 2012, August 9th: 191,952 miles. New 12V battery installed by Williamsburg Honda.
- 2012, August 24th: The dreaded IMA Light came on... Kept driving the car around with just the gasoline engine with no electric motor assist.
- 2013, February 4th: 196,040 miles. Oil and filter change, and state safety inspection at Williamsburg Honda.
- 2013, April 25th: The car was towed to Williamsburg Honda after it stopped running while I was driving home... Couldn't get it to start-up. First the CD-player quit, then the lights of the dash dimmed and flickered, then the engine quit when I stopped at a stop-light.
- 2013, April 26th: 196,280 miles. The car is now up and running again after being serviced at Williamsburg Honda. During this last service visit, Williamsburg Honda also noted that the valves are noisy and that they possibly need adjusting. They could not duplicate the problem that I had the night before, but, did find "Code 58 in IMA System". Also, they noted, "Tested all was good except 12 volt battery so charged with GR-8 then tested good. Possible temporary failure at this time." Not very helpful... After this "reset" the car is running fine; the IMA Light is now off and the electric motor is assisting the gasoline engine once again. The AUTO idle STOP function is once again working and the check engine light has managed to remain off as well, and it's running like the day I bought it almost a year ago.
- 2004 Honda Insight with approximately 196,400 miles (as described in detail above).
- Original window sticker.
- All service records since I took ownership.
- Clean Title
- CARFAX report (from last year when I bought the car)
- Virginia State Safety Inspection Certificate (good through February 2014)
- Owner's Manual / Warranties Booklet / Quick Start Guide
- 2 Keys and 1 Remote
- Grid Charger kit from Hybrid Automotive (new, uninstalled)
- Replacement "H" emblem sticker for rear hatch (new, uninstalled)
- Bottle of BlueMagic Headlight Lens Restorer and Sealer (partially used)

Honda Civic losing ground to Toyota Corolla, sales crown threatened
Wed, Dec 17 2014Oh, what a difference a year has made. When the numbers were tallied for 2013, the Honda Civic was riding high by claiming its segment's sales crown in the US despite being challenged by the latest generation of the Toyota Corolla for part of the year. However, with just a month to go in the battle for C-segment supremacy in 2014, it looks like Toyota gets to hoist the trophy this time. Looking at November sales numbers, Honda moved 300,644 Civics through the first 11 months of the year, down 2.1 percent in volume. Furthermore, for the month alone, the company sold 23,060 Civics, a 12.3 percent drop. Meanwhile, on Toyota's side, business has been booming comparatively. Through the first 11 months it sold 309,373 Corollas, a 10.6 percent jump, and for November alone it moved 25,609 examples, a 14.2 percent improvement. With fewer than 10,000 cars between them, it would take quite a December slump for the Corolla to lose this fight. According to The Truth About Cars, the Civic actually started out the 2014 somewhat positively with 5 percent growth over the previous year, though still behind the Corolla's figures. However, the Honda has seen a slide since then with five consecutive months of sales drops. Meanwhile, the Toyota has generally kept showing growth. Being the newer model of the two, the Corolla comes to this fight with an advantage. Honda hasn't let the Civic languish; it gave the model a CVT in 2014 to boost fuel economy. That's nothing like the Toyota's thorough recent rethink, though. According to TTAC, Honda does have reason to crow about the Civic, just not necessarily in the US. The model is on track to be the bestselling vehicle in Canada for the 17th consecutive year and have its best sales since 2008 there.
Petition to bring Honda Civic Type R to US picking up steam
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Never mind what the executives say - we've had a sneaking suspicion all along that the upcoming Honda Civic Type R won't be coming to North America. And with good reason: both the prototype we drove in Japan and the concept unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week were based on the European-spec Civic hatchback - not to mention that some of the best hot hatches remain out of our reach.
Well it turns out we're not the only ones with that concern. There are legions of Honda hot hatch enthusiasts right here in the good old U S of A who want to see the new Civic Type R ripping up the Great American Road. And many of them are taking to the cyberclouds demanding that Honda bring it Stateside, post haste.
As of the time of writing, this online petition has gotten over 6,000 digital signatures, needing less than 1,500 more to get to the author's target of 7,500 votes. Of course, if and when the petition reaches its target, that still won't mean that Honda will bring it over, but it could mean that extra bit of encouragement the Japanese automaker's executives would need to tip the scales in our favor.
Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?
Fri, Sep 22 2017Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.
