This is the Honda Civic - SI I-VTEC DOHC. At the time I write this, there are no mechanical problems that I am aware of, nor have there been since I bought it. The car is just as solid and peppy as the day I drove it off the showroom floor. It is a great, great car. I am the original owner. It has 4 new 94V Wintrac Xtreme XL tires ( 7,000 miles on them) and a new battery within the last year. The interior is in very good to excellent condition other than one unfortunate flaw - there is a small cigarette burn on the back seat. The SI is noted for having the red stitching throughout the car including the steering wheel - there is no broken stitching anywhere! The only functional issue to mention is the drivers side automatic door lock stopped working (the passenger and hatch locks are fine). It needs a new actuator put in ($15 part). The outside does have some surface scrapes and small dings as to be expected with a 9 year old car, but there is nothing major! You cannot feel the scrapes, just see them. This SI has the sunroof and it does not leak!!! Also, there is not rust or peeling paint - I tried to get a good shot of the tires as well as the wheel well to show that there is no rust. I am selling the car because I fell in love with the Hyundai Veloster - Turbo - Red!! I really had no intention of buying a new car (obviously since I had just spent $800 on new tires), but my daughter was there looking at Hyundai's and I saw this one sitting on the showroom floor and that was that. My Civic SI was driven with respect. I am a 65 yr. old female, but don't let that fool you. I love cars and I am a very good driver. I have always owned sports cars (Porsche, 2 Alfa Romeos). I bought the SI because it came very close to handling like my Porsche and the shift gear came out of the dash like in my Alfas. So, to me it was the best of both worlds. It handled like a sports car yet I could put things in there from Home Depot!. So, did I drive it fast, yes at times, but never recklessly. I have religiously changed the oil every 3,000 miles, and it just passed the Illinois emissions control test in September. It really is an awesome car. This car did sell on ebay last week, but the buyer backed out due to his financing falling through. PLEASE, PLEASE . . . serious buyers only and those that already HAVE financing in place. I actually took it to CarMax today because I did not want to deal with another possible negative situation, but as I expected, they were going to give me nothing for it. I will keep it first!! If you check on their website, they sell this car for 12,000 (with 107,000 miles) and 14,000 (with 77,000 miles). Personally, I think that is crazy, but that is what they have 2 of them selling for. I have their appraisal form with everything passing fine - no negatives at all. I plan to add that report, but must wait till Monday until I can scan it at work. Please email me with any questions that you might have - I will be 100% honest with you. If you prefer to speak, email me for my phone number. Local pick-up or I will work with you if you need to have it shipped (buyer's expense). I sold my Alfa Romeo on ebay and worked with the buyer to ship it to Pennsylvania. I require a $500 deposit thru Paypal within 24 hrs and full payment within 7 days of close of auction. Payment must be with a cashier checks or money order. Car can be picked up or shipped when payment has cleared. Low reserve price. Thank you for looking, and please, again SERIOUS bidders only.
On Nov-19-13 at 14:05:50 PST, seller added the following information: NOTE: I am adding the appraisal from Carmax as promised. I spoke with the appraiser afterwards because I was upset about only a "good condition" rating, but he explained that that is the best they give. Something is either GOOD, or not. If it isn't, then they state what the problem or issue is. The same goes for the second page where everything is "OK". Again, that means that there are no problems or issues, or they would state specifically what the problem or issue is. Hope this information helps you. |

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
Honda execs take 'quality-related' pay cut after Fit Hybrid's 5th recall
Thu, 23 Oct 2014Generally, the best policy in life is to admit when you're wrong and just accept the consequences. However, that attitude generally seems to be a bit less common in the world of business - at least without some government or legal prodding. So, it's especially surprising to learn that top Honda executives in Japan are taking a pay cut for the next three months following the fifth recall of the Fit Hybrid (pictured above) in the last 12 months.
According to Reuters, Chief Executive Takanobu Ito is taking a 20-percent pay cut to make amends for the quality issues. Also, 12 other high-ranking executives are taking 10 percent drops in their salaries. In addition to those temporary changes, Honda is creating a new position in charge of monitoring vehicle quality.
The latest recall fixes "noise-related defects," according to Reuters, on both the hybrid and naturally aspirated versions of the Fit, both variants of the Vezel (the sibling to the future HR-V in the US) and the N-WGN. There have also been three recalls for problems with the hybrid's seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. None of them have caused reported injuries or deaths, and these issues haven't affected US models.
Meet the Kanjozoku, Osaka's infamous street racers
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Street racing is obviously illegal and incredibly dangerous, but that has never stopped people from doing it. While we don't hear nearly as much about the scourge of Japanese tuner cars as when The Fast and the Furious first hit theaters over a decade ago, illegal street racing is still bubbling under the surface all over the island nation. An excellent new documentary short from Bowls Films takes a look at the Kanjozoku from Osaka, Japan; a group that claims to be partially responsible for the tuning style known as JDM.
The group gets their name from their preferred route known as the Kanjo. It's a 4.77-mile long loop of connected highways running right through the city of Osaka. You might expect a hardcore group of illegal Japanese racers to show up with highly tuned Nissan GT-R and Toyota Supra coupes, but the Kanjozoku evidently eschew all of the others in favor of one particular car that they love: the Honda Civic.
According to the video, that vehicle of choice came in part from the city's location. Osaka was relatively near the one-make Civic races held at Japan's legendary Suzuka racetrack. The hatchbacks thus became the default weapons for the Kanjozoku's street battles.
