1995 Honda Civic Vx Hatchback 3-door 1.5l - 55 Mpg!!!! on 2040-cars
Warsaw, Indiana, United States
|
We have long dreaded
this day. Eight and a half years ago, we
flew to
So, let’s start with
the bad stuff – it is rusting out. This
is the only reason we are selling. It
still runs great and is very dependable, but the rust is progressing. I found that there is rust around two of the
bolts that mount the rear axle. So, for
that reason, I AM ADVERTISING THIS AS A
PARTS CAR. We drove it to work
today, and it still goes down the road fine, but that will be at your
risk. I believe that you could readily
drive it home to anywhere, but that is your decision, and my opinion should not
be considered. I am also not liable for
your decisions.
The driver’s seat
has some tears (in typical Civic fashion), and the carpet is worn out on the
driver’s side. The dome light does not
work reliably, and never has.
In 2010, a highway
department plow-truck backed into the back of the car, breaking the back window
and lightly damaging the window frame.
This was repaired, and new rear fenders were welded in, which explains the difference in the paint color at
the back. This did not affect the
drivability of the car.
How about some good
stuff? Well, it runs great and gets
great gas mileage. The VX model has a
special engine with unique camshaft lobes that allow for very frugal fuel
consumption below 2500 rpm. Since 2000
rpm in 5th gear is 65 mph, it is easy to save fuel.
The engine has over 248,000
miles, but still doesn’t need oil added between oil changes. The 5-speed transmission growls a bit at
idle, but shifts smoothly, and had a new clutch last year. The distributor was replaced a few years ago,
and the starter was new in 2013.
All the glass is
intact, although the windshield is somewhat pitted. There are lots of usable parts – the hood,
both doors, and front fenders appear to be pretty much rust-free. The car has the original alloy wheels, and
all the center medallions are intact.
Inside, the dash
console all works. There are aftermarket
cruise control and stereo. The stereo
display does not light up, but it works fine otherwise, and has an aux input
jack. The air conditioning works
great.
The tires are good –
two of them were new last year. You will
also receive the owner’s manual, and a CD version of the shop manual. The title is clear, and you will receive a
bill of sale for the actual amount of the sale.
I don’t play games.
We have loved this
car and have taken good care of it. We
are non-smokers, and the interior is pretty clean. I have attempted to describe the car
thoroughly, and to provide clear pictures that represent the condition. Your bid is a legally binding contract, so I
STRONGLY recommend that you or a friend look this car over before bidding. Bid intending to buy.
I expect to receive
a deposit of $300 within 72 hours of the auction end, with the balance paid
within 10 days. The deposit may be via
PayPal, but any amount over $300 should be in cash. Sorry, no personal checks or money orders. |

Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny
Sat, Oct 10 2015The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.

Editors' Picks March 2021 | Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, Land Rover Defender and more
Thu, Apr 8 2021The month of March was unofficial minivan month here at Autoblog. We drove all of them but the Kia Carnival, but don’t worry, you wonÂ’t have to wait much longer to read that review. Among all the family-toting machines, we drove some more exciting vehicles including the Land Rover Defender and a pair of up-and-coming EVs. It was a month of excellent cars, meaning that this monthÂ’s litter of EditorsÂ’ Picks is stacked. In case you missed FebruaryÂ’s picks, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in March that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Ford Bronco Sport 2021 Ford Bronco Sport First Edition View 32 Photos Quick take: Ford's baby Bronco is an authentic foil to the big Bronco 2-Door and 4-Door. It brings rugged styling, better-than-average off-road capability and thoughtful utility features to a generic segment of cars. Score: 8 What it competes with: Jeep Compass, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trailblazer Pros: Stellar design, excellent off-road, clever interior details throughout Cons: Pricier than most, average transmission, underwhelming interior quality and ambiance in lowest trims From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — “I genuinely enjoy driving this cute crossover. It feels like a mini truck on the road, and Ford admirably translated the design from its big Bronco over to this Escape-based crossover. News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "The Bronco Sport isn't perfect, the transmission could use some work, and it's a little bumpy, but it's a characterful little thing with loads of style, great visibility and space, and impressive capabilities on and off road in the powerful Badlands form." In-depth analysis: 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Review | Bronco for the masses  2021 Land Rover Defender 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 View 64 Photos Quick take: The Land Rover Defender provides everything you'd hope for in a modern Land Rover: superlative off-road capability, surprisingly plush on-road demeanor, abundant interior space and abundant character. The base four-cylinder is likely all you'll need and lower trim levels provide more than enough equipment.
Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla is for Mistresses; Yo, free Smart ED rides!
Tue, Aug 26 2014Smart used the Yo app to give free test rides to San Franciscans last week. Yo is a free app wherein users tap a username to send a notification that simply says "Yo" to the recipient. Signs at locations in the Mission and SoMa neighborhoods gave instructions to send a Yo to SmartUSA for a free ride anywhere in the city. Three of the eight Smart vehicles used for the promotion were the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. The event allowed people to see how well suited the cars are to the city, particularly when it comes to San Francisco's parking problems. It also saved users the fare of an Uber or Lyft hire.

The cars will go to the school's West Village, a planned zero net energy community, which plans to generate as much energy as it uses within a year. "Innovations like solar power to help generate the electricity needed to charge the EV," says Dan Sperling, founding director of the school's Institute of Transportation Studies, "and fully zero emission car sharing moves us aggressively toward a sustainable future." The addition of the Fit EVs will also give cash-strapped students access to affordable emissions-free driving. Read more in the press release, below. California is one step closer to adding 15,000 new green HOV stickers after a bill was approved by the state Senate. Now the bill must go up before the California State Assembly for approval before it can be signed by Governor Jerry Brown. The bill will raise the total number of the green HOV stickers for plug-in hybrids to 70,000. Raising the cap on the green decals, which allow owners use of the carpool lanes, could encourage more California drivers to buy a PHEV. Read more at Inside EVs. The Tesla Model S made a star appearance on the ABC television show Mistresses. In the episode "Choices," the character Joss receives the car as a gift from her fiance, but is not all too happy about it, seeing it as putting her in a position of dependency. "I could never in a million years afford that Tesla," Joss complains to her friend. "How am I ever supposed to get mad at him when he can hold a Tesla over my head?" The luxury EV makes an on-screen appearance in the episode complete with an interior shot of the car's touchscreen display. See a clip from the episode below or read more at Green Car Reports.
