2001 Honda Insight Base Hatchback 3-door 1.0l on 2040-cars
North Ridgeville, Ohio, United States
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 spinning off Acura as stand-alone division in bid to wake up brand
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Every major automaker has a different way of relating between its various divisions and brands. At Volkswagen, for example, the individual brands seem to operate with a large degree of autonomy. Under the Renault-Nissan Alliance, the two units share a common chief executive, but little else. The relationship between Honda and its luxury division Acura has always been rather close, but that's all about to change.
American Honda Motor Company has always handled sales and marketing in the North American market for both the Honda and Acura divisions, but new reorganization plans call for the two units to be separated under their own direction. Leading the Acura division will be Michael Accavitti, who moves into the position from his role as Senior Vice President for Auto Operations at American Honda. The Honda division will meanwhile be taken over by the current head of Acura sales, Jeff Conrad.
Both will report to John Mendel, the current executive vice president of the Automobile Sales Division that is being rebranded as the American Honda Auto Division. Unlike rivals Lexus and Infiniti - two brands that Acura beat to the market - Honda barely markets its luxury brand outside of North America. Its overseas presence is felt only in China, though we've yet to receive word on how the reorganization might effect that market - or for that matter, any potential of expanding into others.
