At those rates, a battery pack could be something you buy and then transfer when you upgrade your car. Most accessories (seats, moulding, body panels, frames...
I just had pretty much the same experience with my 2001 CVT -- car was bucking horribly at low speed when warmed up. Honda of Santa Monica diagnosed it as the...
I'm new o this newsletter. How do I get information about putting a Cruise Control on my 2001 Insight? Thanks, Laura Eldredge Sales Manager Peacock Engraving...

Hi there, This is my first post to the group. I joined just recently and have skimmed through some of the posts. (Found the double clutching discussion very...
Hi Kelli, My advice to you is that if you prefer driving a stick, buy a hybrid with a stick. I owned a manual Civic Hybrid for a few years before I traded in...
Welcome, as Tonya mentioned if you prefer a manual, then you should probably get yourself a manual... Aside from that, there is this little issue of...
The Civic has a CVT as well Ryan. As you stated I don't think there has been a report of a recal on the HCH or HAH. Kelli, good luck on your purchase. My...
I don't think anyone has mentioned that MT owners tend to do better with their mileage than CVT owners (but then perhaps that was presumed by all). I would...
... The HCH (civic) automatic is CVT, the HAH (accord) is not CVT but a 6spd automatic. I have not seen any postings on recurring recals on CVT, or on the HCH....
Hi there, Thank you to everyone who chimed in with advice for me on my questions regarding manual vs automatic transmission on the Civic HEV! It's much...
... The government ratings (NR Can, and EPA US) say that the CVT gets better mileage in the city and the manual gets better on the highway. However, this is...
... I have an early (#495) '00 Insight that has just had its battery replaced at 122,000 miles. The MT Insight has an upshift indicator that lights up at very...
Very good details have already been mentioned, so I'm just going to make some quick comments. ... The technical side was explained well in another reply... OK,...
... Do ... I believe the first Honda CVT was introduced several years go (96 or 97?) on the Civic HX, which had pretty high mileage without any hybridization....
... Many believe that is correct. But most manual HCH owners do report higher MPG than most CVT owners. Yes some CVT owners have posted some better numbers...
... I've often heard this argument in favour of automatics (CVT or regular). However, when I drove a manual transmission (my 3 previous vehicles), I never...
Has anyone had to replace their Honda Civic Battery (assist battery in the trunk) yet due to it not charging any longer? How many miles did you have on your...
Gosh, you guys are all a WEALTH of information! Thank you so much! I'm going to go test driving this weekend, and hope that I can stop myself from buying my...
The following saga was reported on "the other" list. Copied here for your information and interest. The original message by Richard Bamberg is quoted in my...
I have a friend with 110,000 on his and no problems, I have 35,000 on mine and no problems. I asked at the dealer and they estimated $2500 to replace it,...
ANOTHER HAPPY ENDING TO FAST RECALS AND ON AGAIN OFF AGAIN IMA LIGHTS. For the past 8-9 months I have been "suffering" through slow then fast then back to slow...
... Yes, the HCH has auto-stop. The MT has more control over the auto-stop than the CVT. With the CVT if you are in stop&go traffic, you need to get to near...
in honda-hybrid digest number 1500, Ed Aggreko wrote about having his IMA battery, Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and power inverter module replaced at 58 K...
Here's a less happy ending to the recal saga. The Silver Hornet (#495) ran perfectly since the day I got it, except for some of that EGR-related bucking at...
I think they gave you a heck of a good deal that was very fair. After all, you have had the use of the car for 110,000 miles. I too have talked to Todd about a...
... Actually I had use of the car for nearly 122,000 miles prior to the problems. But I don't think you have put yourself in my shoes quite as effectively as...
