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:)

Honda Civic Wagon Concept to debut at Geneva

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Honda is getting warmed up for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, with a sketch of some very Euro-flavored forbidden fruit. Seen above (click on the image to see an expanded view) is the Honda Civic Wagon Concept Model - a rather tentative name for a car that Honda claims "provides strong cues for the exterior design of the final mass produced version."
The sketch seen here is obviously very stylized, but we think that if Honda can stay true to its sleek rounded forms and aggressive silhouette, the final product could be quite fetching. Note that this is an image handed out by Honda of Europe, for a European auto show - we have every expectation that that any production-ready Civic wagon will be a Europe-only deal. Sorry, guys.
Find Honda's brief press release below, which also includes news of the European debut of the updated NSX Concept we saw at January's Detroit Auto Show, along with a diesel-powered CR-V.

Honda Gear concept explored at Montreal Auto Show

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

Our friends at Autoblog Canada have just come away with a closer look at Honda's surprise Gear Concept at the Montreal Auto Show. The little three-door hatchback is arguably the automaker's first real shot at the North American city car market (the Gear is much smaller than the Fit) and may be an indication that Honda is getting serious about going after Scion on this side of the world after the CR-Z hybrid failed to deliver. Honda says the Gear Concept takes its inspiration from the fixed-gear bicycle scene, and should allow buyers an unprecedented level of customization. Designers also wanted to show that a car can be both fun and practical.
We're all for a compact stylish three door with functional room inside, but given Honda's propensity for draining the personality from its concepts on the way to production (at least the ones that don't look showroom ready), we don't hold much hope for the Gear. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Aston Martin Red Bull Racing to switch to Honda engines starting in 2019

Tue, Jun 19 2018

After a 12-season partnership with Renault, the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team is switching engine suppliers. Starting next season, the team will use Honda powertrains, following the move this year of Red Bull's junior team, Toro Rosso. This effectively makes Red Bull Racing the Honda works team, something it's never truly benefited from since joining the sport in 2005 after purchasing the former Jaguar Racing team. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Honda has had a rough time since returning to F1 with McLaren back in 2015. Both sides hoped that the move would rekindle one of the most successful pairings in F1 history. Unfortunately, Honda powertrains were both underpowered and unreliable. The partnership proved to be so toxic that McLaren ended the deal early, moving to Renault power starting this season. On the other hand, Toro Rosso is off to a fine start this year with Honda, surely helping cement Red Bull's decision to drop Renault. Since moving to Renault power in 2007, Red Bull Racing has won 57 races, four drivers' championships and four constructors championships, making it one of the most successful teams in F1 history. The move should be a huge boon for Honda. Red Bull Racing is currently one of the top teams, fighting for both podiums and wins, so the move shows how much faith Red Bull has in the Japanese automaker. When McLaren picked up Honda power, it was a mid-pack team that had just two podiums in the previous two seasons. The Honda partnership is likely to play into Daniel Ricciardo's next move. His current contract with Red Bull racing ends at the end of 2018. He's one of the best and most talented drivers racing today and unlikely to stay with a team that might prevent him from winning races and fighting for championships.
