This 2008 civic hybrid is in great shape and drives perfectly.  It has a clean california title.  It was a well maintained 1 owner vehicle with lots of highway miles when we bought, and we sought it out because my fiance needed a reliable vehicle for her sales job with high MPG.  Its been great for us, but unfortunately she needs a slightly larger vehicle for work.  We just had it serviced with new brakes front and back (including reconditioning and replacement of rotors), serpentine belt(s?), engine and cabin air filter, and an oil change.  

As mentioned in the condition section, it does has a few small scraps and dings that you might expect from a vehicle with higher mileage.  also has one longer scrape along the passenger side which is hard to notice (almost impossible to see in the pictures), but does cause the passenger door to catch a bit when opening it, and the side mirror mount was knocked loose.  we reattached the mirror, which was not cracked or chipped at all, and it is pretty secure.  The mirror controls still work perfectly, and the mirror is perfect, but the whole piece no longer bends in (like you might do for a tight parking spot).

The IMA/engine light comes on and off(IMA is honda's hybrid Integrated Motor Assist), and sometimes the battery charge will go from full to zero then slowly recharge, but wether the light is on or off we've still gotten close to 45 mpg on highway trips. (see the pictures for shots of the trip and MPG during a drive down to san diego when the light was on, then turned off)

(for california residents:  this car requires NO SMOG, and is registered until dec 2014, with zero DMV fees owed.  I don't know if other states require emissions/smog from hybrid vehicles)

This is a really terrific and reliable car, and has honda's unbeatable reputation and resale value.
The auction is pick up only, but i wouldn't hesitate to drive this car across the country and can arrange delivery with a service like uship, or possibly even deliver it myself for a fee.
Feel free to ask any questions!

Honda MC-? prototype

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Honda is less an automaker, it has been said, and more of a motor company that builds vehicles into which to put its engines. That sort of perspective goes a long way towards explaining the mind-boggling diversity of the company's product lineup. The Japanese industrial giant makes lawnmowers, marine engines, robots... even jet aircraft. It's also one of only a handful of companies that makes both cars and motorbikes. We recently had the chance to sample something that falls in between.
It's called MC-β - shorthand for Micro Commuter Beta, which already tells you it's Honda's second stab at the formula. The first Micro Commuter prototype was announced a year prior and, though marginally larger, struck us as a more complete product than its successor. But it'll likely still be a while before the formula is perfected and put into production, and even then it isn't likely to find its way any time soon to Honda's American showrooms - whether those showrooms are selling cars, bikes or ride-on mowers.

Google poised to release Apple CarPlay rival this month

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Apple and Google. They're the Michigan and Ohio State of the tech world. They're New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, Real Madrid and Barcelona, or whatever sports-based rivalry you want to cook up. Bottom line, if one company expands into a segment, it's only a matter of time before the other follows suit. And now, that rivalry is about to carry over to your car's dashboard.
Unnamed sources are reporting to Automotive News that Google will unveil its very own challenger to Apple's new CarPlay in-car operating system later this month at the Mountain View, CA company's annual developer conference. The system, allegedly called Google Auto Link, will be the first product to come from the Open Automotive Alliance, a partnership between Google, General Motors, Hyundai, Audi, Honda and hardware manufacturer NVIDIA.
The official announcement is expected to be made on either June 25 or 26, at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. Expect to hear a lot more about Google Auto Link then.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.
