1996 Honda Civic Ex Coupe 5 Speed Great Commuter - Great Mileage - Runs Great on 2040-cars
Brentwood, California, United States
1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe 5 Speed - Great Commuter For sale is my trusty 1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe... I've had this car since 10/2006, so 8 years of its 18 year life. It's was my reliable commute partner for years before I got another high mileage newer car... I no longer need this car and, thanks to Christmas, the bills don't pay themselves.... I got this car so I wouldn't have to drive the truck I owned at the time back and forth to work. The car gets phenomenal gas mileage and has never let me down... Be it going to work or driving down to LA, over the grapevine no less, this car has always been rock solid reliable. I have personally maintained it ever since I've owned it and given it regular services (Oil, fluids, filters), "maintenance items" (Timing belt, hoses, brake pads, ignition system), as well as those necessary things when they come up (CV shafts, Bearings). It indicates 169,XXX miles, and for all intents and purposes I usually just refer to what the odometer says... But in reality the car has about 11k less miles than what is indicated... Way back at 80k miles the speedometer cluster died. I sourced a replacement from a tow/junkyard but it had 11k more miles on it... That has been the cluster ever since and I've put another 80k miles on it without any problems. The vast majority of those miles are highway miles, easy for a honda civic to gobble up. I love this little car but registration and insurance on a car I don't use anymore is just another thing making my money disappear.... I JUST SMOGGED AND REGISTERED THE CAR TODAY (1/6/14). The car passed, as it always has... With smog and reg you're good to go! I have the clean title in my hands, no fees etc... ISSUES: Appearance inside and out:
Mechanical Issues:
Good Things:
I'm sure I'm missing something in the good column... I've been good to this car for the last 8 years since it's been so good to me, and addressed any problems or maintenance needs. She's not the prettiest girl on the block when it comes to exterior appearance, but she's solid and has never let me down... If you need something to eat the miles up and commute in while not burning a ton of gas, this is the car for you... Thanks for looking! |

2014 Honda Odyssey gets some tidy tweaks [w/video]
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Here in New York, Honda is offering up a refreshed version of its well-liked Odyssey minivan, bringing with it a slew of updates including the segment's first in-car vacuum. It looks to be a neat little feature, one that families will no doubt get a lot of use out of. Kids are spill-machines, after all.
On the outside, the Odyssey gets a revised front end with dark headlamp surrounds, shiny cross-bars in the grille, and an aluminum hood and bumper. We think the blacked-out grille trim looks fine on this charcoal model, but question how smart it will look on models with lighter paint tones. Out back, there are new LED taillamps, and it looks like a new wheel design will be on offer, too.
Other changes for the 2014 Odyssey include some structural reinforcements for improved safety and some new available nannies like lane-departure warning and forward collision warning. Inside, buyers will find new finishes inside the cabin, a redesigned center stack and pushbutton start. Scroll down for the full details in an official video and in Honda's press release, and have a look at new images live from the show floor in the gallery above.
Toyota raises Japanese base wages for first time since 2008
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The average Toyota employee will earn 2,700 yen ($26.28) more each month, a 0.8 percent increase from last year. Workers will also receive about 7,300 yen ($71.09) more monthly based on seniority and promotions. Finally, the company's union pushed through a median bonus of 2.44 million yen ($23,768) for 2014, the highest in 6 years.
The pay boost comes as Toyota forecasts a record 1.9-trillion yen ($18.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg. It has been helped by the Japanese government's efforts to weaken the yen on international markets and expand inflation. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been asking businesses to increase compensation to end years of deflation and offset upcoming higher sales taxes. Honda and Nissan have also raised their wages there in recent months.
Honda exclusive to McLaren at least until 2017
Wed, 23 Apr 2014Next year Honda will return to Formula One after a seven-year absence, bringing the first Japanese automaker to compete in the top-tier racing series back into the fold. But though it started in 1964 much as it ended in 2008, running its own team (much like Ferrari and Mercedes do today), its new F1 program will see it revert to engine-supplier status (like Renault did when it sold its team to Lotus).
The arrangement will be exclusive to McLaren for the 2015 Formula One World Championship. But what fans and insiders alike have been wondering is how it might expand after that. Well, now we have at least part of the answer.
According to the F1 business insiders at Pitpass, Honda motorsport chief Yasuhisa Arai told a group of journalists at this past weekend's race in Shanghai that the deal with McLaren will be exclusive not only in 2015, but also in 2016. In other words, it won't be until 2017 at the earliest before Honda might begin supplying engines to any other teams, if at all.
