I purchased this car in July of 2011 from a dealer in Missouri.  After purchasing the car I had my local Honda Dealer go through all of the items that would need to be repaired now or in the near future to ensure that the car would be reliable.  I have all of the receipts from the work I have had done to the car.  All of the parts are Honda Original Equipment and have been installed by the dealer.  The IMA Battery was replaced on 3/14/11 when the car had 70,989 miles on it.  The only reason I am selling the car is because we need something with four doors.  With gas prices approaching $4.00 for Regular Unleaded the car will quickly save you a significant amount of money in fuel.  My best trip was from Austin, TX to Dallas, TX with 72.1 MPG, with around town driving I typically get about 56 MPG.  These are real world numbers.  There are several modifications that can be made to these cars that allow you to get significantly better numbers.  The car has the original OEM Honda Cassette deck but includes upgraded POLK speakers (I also have the original speakers which will be included, and the new speakers were a directly fit with no modifications required to the car) there is also a Blitzsafe Honda adapter which allows you to connect a portable MP3 player or your phone to the radio.  This car also has the leather wrapped steering wheel from an Acura installed.  This car also includes a grid charger which I have only used four times, anytime I am out of town for more than a week I would put the grid charger on a timer.  Title in hand, this car is ready to go!

Pros

Acura RSX Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel Installed

Two recently installed Bridgestone RE92 tires (all tires are Bridgestone RE92) this is the only tire you want on this car

Extra OEM Wheel I have a total of five (5) full size OEM wheels plus the spare, all full size wheels are outfitted with Bridgestone RE92 tires. All 5 are included in the auction.

Upgraded Polk Speakers (perfect OEM fit - no modifications made to the car to install them), Original Speakers also included.

Blitzsafe Honda Adapter for attaching an mp3 player or cell phone

Always serviced by Honda Dealer with Genuine Honda Parts

Rare 5-speed Transmisison

LOW Miles

Hybrid Battery replaced less than 9,000 miles ago

Grid Charger installed

I have removed and cleaned out the EGR Plate (a common problem on the Insight), last year I installed new Honda OEM Spark Plugs (correctly matched for each cylinder), new Cabin and engine Air Filters.

Documented Service History, Clean CarFax

This car has the rear-wiper delete, the original wiper and motor will be included.

All new under-engine cover (Most cars are missing the under engine/under body cover panels, when I bought this car they were missing.  I replaced all of them, it had a noticeable difference on fuel economy)

Cons

There are some scratches on the drivers side wheel cover, I bought another wheel cover but it too would need to be repainted. I will include the additional wheel cover. Because I had planned on either replacing or repainting the wheel cover I also bought the black trim stickers for both sides from Honda, which I will include.

Heat shield on Catalytic Coverter rusted (Strange because the rest of the undercarriage looks great, the heat shield however was made out of steel and has rusted.  It has no impact on the operation of the car and to be clear its just the heat shield that is rusted, not the catalytic converter).

This is a two-seat car

Blemish in passenger seat cover (I bought another perfect seat cover that I am including if the blemish bothers you you can replace the seat cover I also have the pins that are required)

Hole under drivers side carpet.  (Honda no longer sells the drivers side floor mat, so most of these cars end up with a hole in the drivers side floor.  I have another used carpet that I am including if you decide to replace the existing carpet, Honda also no longer sells the carpet for this car.)

I also have one new Honda OEM Oil Filter, and 2.6 Quarts of Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil for your next oil change that I will include. This car only uses 2.6 Quarts of Oil.

Recently Completed Service History

On July 25, 2011 I had First Texas Honda do an Oil Change, Transmission Oil Change, and Coolant Service when they did the Texas State Inspection.  At this time I also asked the dealer if they could inspect the battery and they told me that it was replaced on 3/14/11.  Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-07-25_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On July 26, 2011 I purchased a new passenger floor mat, misc bolts/screws/nuts, and a new EGR. Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-07-25_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On August 22, 2011 Due to a Service Bulletin Honda Installed a New PCM 37820-PCM-HON this was done under warranty http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-08-22_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On October 9, 2011 I ordered a PCV valve, and Air Conditioner/Alternator belt.  Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-10-09_Majestic_Honda_Parts.PDF

On Novermber 12, 2011 I purchased two Bridgestone Original Equipment RE92 tires and had them mounted and balanced by the Honda Dealer, I also had the car aligned at the time.  Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-11-12_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On May 25, 2012 Replaced the motor mount, fixed A/C leak, recharged A/C, fixed rattling heat shield.  http://nptrental.com/Insight/2012-05-25_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

New Honda Fit ousts Toyota Prius as Japan's top-selling car last month

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

The Toyota Camry may lose its title as the best-selling car in the US next year and the Honda Civic has already managed to outsell the Toyota Corolla to become the top-selling compact in the US, but it looks like the domination woes have just hit Toyota on its own turf. Bloomberg reports that the all-new Honda Fit carries the distinction of being the best-selling car in Japan for October - the Fit's first full month on sale - outselling the popular Toyota Prius and Toyota Aqua (our Toyota Prius C).
Unlike the Camry's 16-year reign on US car sales, Japan's race seems a little tighter with the Fit most recently topping the sales charts in May 2011. Since then, though, the two Toyota hybrids have been the top two cars in for sale in Japan. The US won't get the next-gen Fit until the third quarter of 2014, but this new hatchback should be another solid option for buyers in the increasingly popular subcompact segment.

Honda CR-V named Motor Trend SUV of the Year for 2015

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Motor Trend has announced the results of its 2015 SUV of the Year competition, and from a field that included the new Porsche Macan, Cadillac Escalade, Subaru Outback, Chevrolet Suburban and BMW X5, the buff book has awarded the gold calipers to the 2015 Honda CR-V. If that result surprises you just a little, well, get to the back of the line.
MT looked at six different categories ranging from overall design to efficiency - both fuel economy and carbon footprint - to safety and value to pick its winner, singling out the refreshed Honda while paying particular praise to its new 2.4-liter Earth Dreams four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission. A tighter steering ratio was also cited as a big source of improvement.
"There was a lot of contentious debate," MT Technical Director Frank Markus told Autoblog, indicating that nearly half the judges approached the final round of voting with an eye towards the redesigned Jeep Cherokee. "This year's field included some pretty fancy and fast iron, but the thoughtful changes made by Honda to hone its best-seller entry in that crowded compact cross-over segment really did the trick."

Honda Civic Type R Concept is the shape of hot things to come

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Soon, kids. Soon. The next-generation Honda Civic Type R is finally coming, and we're getting another preview of the hot hatch here at the Paris Motor Show. Of course, this one probably won't be headed to the United States (boo!), but it doesn't mean we can't get excited. After all, we're big fans of little turbo hatches, and from what we know right now, this one sure sounds sweet.
Underneath that new blue paint and red decals is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, reportedly good for 276 horsepower. Honda tells us there's a "steer axis" system with adaptive dampers, and with the push of its +R button, the suspension, steering and torque mapping are all altered to make this Type R even more Type R-ier than before. In fact, Honda says this Civic will surpass every Type R that came before it - that means every Integra, Accord, Civic and even the NSX. Hot diggity.
We've got a fresh batch of images of the Type R Concept up top, and Honda's press release is available below. Hopefully it won't be long before the production car is finally revealed.
