2005 Honda Insight: America’s First Hybrid and Fuel Efficient Vehicle with Top quality Honda Parts from Parts Train
by: Jenny McLane
Since it was introduced back in 2002, Honda Insight’s 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine and Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) motor-generator have been modified, and the CVT model’s final drive ratio is considerably lower, at 5.69:1 compared to 3.21 for the manual, to take advantage of the CVT’s wider-spread “gear” ratios.
Powered by Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA™) system that pairs a 3-cylinder VTEC™-E engine with an electric motor, the Insight comes fully loaded with dual front airbags (SRS), power windows, mirrors and door locks, a remote entry system, AM/FM stereo cassette, alloy wheels and much more.
Like a turbocharger, the IMA motor-generator is called to action when extra power is needed for acceleration and hill climbing, and feels like a low-pressure turbo. Unlike at turbo, the motor becomes a generator when braking or coasting, which recharges the nickel metal-hydride battery pack
The Honda Insight gains efficiency not only by its drivetrain but by light weight and clean aerodynamics. Curb weight is less than 2,000 lbs even with the CVT and air conditioning (standard on the CVT model, optional with the standard transmission).
Like other hybrids, the Insight’s engine stops when the car is stopped at a light or in traffic, contributing greatly to fuel economy. The Insight achieves EPA city/highway fuel economy ratings of 60/66 (manual) and 57/56 (CVT) mpg, respectively.
The 2005 2006 Honda Insight runs a 1.0-liter, I3, 67-horsepower, hybrid engine whose mileage specs are 61-mpg in the city and 68-mpg on the highway. Putting power to the wheels, Honda links a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive as standard equipment. The Hatchback with A/C and CVT is equipped with a standard 1.0-liter, I3, 65-horsepower, hybrid engine whose fuel-efficient configuration achieves 57-mpg in the city and 56-mpg on the highway. A variable speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
Standard features include alloy Wheels, AM/FM Radio, Anti-Lock Brakes, Anti-Theft Vehicle, Cassette, Driver Air Bag, Keyless Entry/Unlock, Passenger Air Bag, Rear Defogger, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, Power Steering, Power Windows, Tachometer.
The Honda Insight has safety-cage construction with front and rear crumple zones, side-impact protection, dual airbags and antilock brakes.

Creative Computer Time With Images
Let me ask you a real honest question, oh great reader, “Do you become anxious and bored working non-stop on your computer or Mac, or Linux box? You see, for me, making a website accessible, or working on the search engine optimization contracts that come in, is all well and good. I mean, I really love that stuff…but sometimes those things drive me nuts, and make me want to do something totally different.
And now hey! I downloaded a really cool free software (you can download it from the links below) called the Poster Forge by RonyaSoft.com.
You really have to see this for yourself. Their unique movie poster maker takes a picture that you have on your computer, scanner, or digital camera, and it generates a wickedly humorous poster that you simply print out; and that in high quality. And there is much more than movie posters that you can create with Poster Forge. You can also make other things, using this product as an inspirational poster software, wanted poster creator, and a motivational poster generator – all from it’s user friendly interface.
I would not skip this free (yes, you read correctly, it is a free download) “please make my time fun” image generating software, or you just may end up bored yet again…

Get In On The Travel Directory Niche
Don’t let the title of my post fool you, the travel directory niche is a 240,000,000 site filled market. So how does one get to the top, not only in SERPs (Search Engine Results Position) but also in costumer loyalty? You just don’t build another tired old directory, name it travel, and expect big things to come.
The TripOriginator.com web site is one of those sites that does the job of standing out above it’s crowed competitors. If I have said it once, I have said it one thousand times. To begin your successful marketing journey, the three things you must do, which TripOriginator.com does, is what I am about to list here. I’ll make this list specific to the travel directory niche:
- Build a Directory (In this case, a travel one).
- Build a Travel Articles page, in which you have an assortment of content rich, keyword targeted phrases about travel.
- Put up a page that contains Travel Website Reviews.
You won’t get to the top quickly in this heavily competitive market like TripOriginator.com has done overnight, but if you mimic their optimization work, you just may make a name for yourself.

The #1 custom military challenge coin minting company in the world offering quality coins, embroidery patches, and lapel pins | Website Critique
Out of all the internet market niches available today, I must admit that I have not given much credence to anything regarding Military Challenge Coins as being marketable or profitable.That is, until I started running my search engine tools on it. Did you know that 549,000 websites are all competing on “military coin”?
Well, USChallengeCoins.com has done a great job at aiming and firing at it’s target (ok, so sue me for trying to work in some military jargon!). On their merchant site contains much more memorabilia inventory than your typical military challenge coins. They are running a customized shopping cart, which is very accessible. As for their web site, it was apparent to me that they have studied their market.
Offering The Military Collectible Forum is one way to really identify and build trust with their user-base. For one thing, since it is a very active web forum, that shows that people who are in the market for military collectibles also wants to partake in a community of like minded people. So what do great internet marketers do? They cater to their audience.
And what better way to establish the trust and authority that I was speaking of in a web site than to offer, besides a marketplace and community forum, but also a greatly informative Military Wiki.
If I were the competitors of USChallengeCoins.com, I’d take out my notebook, take notes, and hire an optimizer that put USChallengeCoins.com on the Search Engine Radar.
