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.

Honda reveals updated rest-of-world Civic hatchback
Thu, 14 Nov 2013The rest of the world's most recent Honda Civic was introduced for 2012, and it looks much the same as the 2014 model Honda will release in January to European and Asian markets. In fact, not much has changed, but a retuned power steering system, revised front and rear damping rates and rear wheel toe and camber adjustments are touted to make the hatchback drive better, World Car Fans reports.
There are some small visual changes, such as privacy glass for the lower rear window, a piano-black front bumper that previously was dark gray and piano-black trim replacing body-color pieces around the license plate area, tailgate and lower bumper. Inside, white stitching adorns the seats, steering wheel and knee pad along with aluminum and gloss-black accents placed around the center console area.
Of course, Honda won't be exporting this particular Civic to the US (or the recently unveiled Civic Tourer), so check out the photo gallery to see it in all its not-for-you glory.
Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
Honda names first woman, foreigner to its board of directors
Mon, 24 Feb 2014General Motors may have made headlines when it recently appointed the industry's first female CEO, but Honda has long lagged woefully behind the times when it comes to the diversity of its top management. In fact, its entire board has until now been composed entirely of Japanese men, with not a foreigner or a woman in sight. But as Reuters reports, that's all changing with the nominations to its latest board.
The slate of new directors named to Honda's board includes one Hideko Kunii, a gender-equality advocate and engineering professor from the Shibaura Institute of Technology. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Kunii spent the bulk of her career at Japanese electronic imaging company Ricoh. Alongside Kunii, Honda has also named Tomoko Mizoguchi to the board as responsible for the company's South American operations, making him the first foreigner to serve on the company's board of directors. (Well, almost: Mizoguchi was born in Brazil, but of Japanese ancestry.)
The appointments follow the recent switch Honda made in its official language policy from Japanese to English, signaling a shift in outlook for a company that has long stuck to traditional Japanese business models. Honda was the first of the major Japanese automakers to begin manufacturing in the United States, and has long relied on hiring local managers to run its regional operations around the world. It has, however, resisted placing foreigners on its board of directors until now, relying instead on senior male managers promoted from within its ranks to serve on its board. This in comparison to Toyota, which has seven foreigners and one woman on its 68-member board of directors, and Nissan, which has fifteen foreigners (including its chief executive) and one woman on its 58-member board.
