I'm asking $3500 for my 2000 Honda Insight with manual transmission. I really thought I'd drive this thing till the day it died, but, well... 3 kids don't fit very well in a 2-seater vehicle. Not to mention car seats.

Best parts:

Still my daily driver!
The lifetime MPG is 49.1, but if you upgrade the IMA battery you could see around 60mpg.
The interior has been steam cleaned beautifully.
New-to-me carpet and floor mats.
The roughly $300 Kenwood KDC-X995 stereo head unit will stay with the car.
Stereo has Bluetooth phone, USB, and AUX cable.
HOV Lane sticker!!! This lets you drive in the HOV lane without a passenger.
Clean title in hand, no liens.
Ram Mount X-Grip Cellphone holder stays if you want it.

I'm a straight shooter, so here's everything I think you need to know to make an informed decision.

Disclosures:

Exterior has seen better days. No accidents, just paint chips
~197500 miles
Check engine light - P0420. Google the issue on Honda Insights; the Honda is notorious for throwing this code before there's an actual problem.
1st gear can struggle around 4000 RPM. However, that's pretty high RPM for 1st gear, you should shift sooner.
DMV history shows errors in mileage recording resulting in a previous NAM title. Issue resolved in current title, which reads "Actual Mileage"

Recommendations:
Gas mileage will likely jump up to 33% if you get a new IMA and replace catalytic converter. However, the IMA is a fix I would only do if you plan to keep the car for a while.

Honda asking used-car buyers to sign liability document [w/poll]

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

New cars under recall must be repaired before a dealer can sell them but used cars are under no such mandate.
When it comes to informing the car-buying public about potential safety hazards on used vehicles, there are two emerging schools of thought among used-car dealers.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...

Honda fielding 11 entrants at Pikes Peak, including 532-hp Odyssey

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

Is it possible for a minivan to be more exciting than an Acura NSX? Well, Honda is trying to find out by entering a 532-horsepower Odyssey into the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with IndyCar racer Simon Pagenaud behind the wheel.
Starting with a stock Odyssey, Honda dropped in a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 producing an estimated 532 hp and 460 pound-feet of torque as well as racing suspension, tires and brakes and one of the biggest roll cages you're likely to ever see. If this van looks familiar to you, you aren't alone - it's a veteran of the Tire Rack One Lap of America.
In addition to this super minivan, Honda will also be entering a first-gen NSX, CR-Z hybrid, Fit EV and Acura TL into the competition as well as five motorcycles and an all-terrain vehicle. Scroll down for the full details on Honda's comprehensive assault on Pikes Peak.
