Honda Inspire cars: specifications and reviews

Honda Inspire is a car that started its history back in 1989. And then the model was called a little differently. Namely - Honda Accord Inspire. This idea seemed to hint at continuity. But three years later the superfluous word disappeared from the title, and the car began to be produced as an independent model. For all its history, the car has undergone many changes, and I would like to tell you about them.

Start

So, the Honda Accpire was based on the Accord model, but it differed in its elongated chassis and slightly modified bodywork. The radiator grille has also been transformed.

The first generation was published from 1992 to 1995. As engines, such units as G25A and G20A were used. All cars were also equipped with only an automatic transmission, and besides they were front-wheel drive. For the domestic market in Japan and other countries, this model was released under a different name. For them, it became known as the Honda Vigor.

The second generation

From 1995 to 1998, the second generation Honda Inspire came out. What changes have occurred? First, another engine, C32A, was added. All engines continued to be aggregated by an automatic transmission. It is interesting that the G25A engine was installed in two versions for the second generation cars. The first equipment became known as the "S". There were 190 horsepower on it. And in all other complete sets - on 180 "horses". Interestingly, the previous generation was also installed only 190-strong unit.

And on the S-configuration put other wheels (their dimension was 205 / 60R15). Still this version could boast of a stabilizer of lateral stability. Plus, the developers have changed the design of the muffler.

Those cars that were produced with the C32A engine, differed in a rich bundle. The engine was developed by engineers of the American division of the Japanese corporation Honda, so he got rid of the characteristic trait (when the crankshaft rotates counter-clockwise). He became the same as everyone else. That is, rotate clockwise.

The third generation

This line of cars came out from 1998 to 2003. It is interesting that these models were developed and produced in the American branch. 5-cylinder in-line motors were replaced with V-shaped 6-cylinder units - such as J25A and J32A. Absolutely all cars were equipped with a 4-band "automatic". Also cars were front-wheel drive.

Interestingly, the Honda Inspire UA2 had an analog. They were a car produced by the same company. He became known as Saber. In 2001, the model was transformed and held restyling. In most cases, the salon and bodywork were affected. Everyone knows that the Japanese at all times tried to make cars beautiful and spectacular - and they get it.

Also appeared appeared automatic pulling belts and the long-awaited novelty in the form of a 3-cylinder V6-engine, which was controlled by a computer. Moreover, this unit promised to be extremely economical, since at high speeds three cylinders were switched off independently.

About the fourth generation

Discussing what the Honda Inspire specifications, you can not tell and about the last, the fourth generation. His release was a little delayed. If previous generations have changed at intervals of several years, then the last one has been published for almost 13 years - since 2003. The models are equipped with an engine known as the J30A. All versions are equipped with a 5-band "automatic" and, of course, are front-wheel drive.

Of course, periodically the latest generation models go through some changes, mostly cosmetic ones. The exterior of the car has changed a lot since the late eighties. Then it was a very specific sedan, and now it looks solid and dignified. His appearance is dynamic and rapid, and a special charm gives an expressive "look" headlights.

The most popular model

So, Honda Inspire reviews gets mostly positive, and it's not surprising. To understand why this model has become so popular and bought, it is worthwhile to consider it in more detail and discuss its technical characteristics in detail. Take, for example, the version 3.5 AT. One of the most bought in the model line.

The car pleases with a powerful 280-horsepower engine (located in front and transversely), which works in tandem with an automatic transmission (5 speeds). The unit boasts six cylinders (4 valves per each) and fuel injection. In this beautiful, exquisite 4-door sedan can comfortably fit five people, and with enough space left inside.

The car is beautiful and overall - almost five meters (4.96 m, to be more precise). In size, the car resembles sedans of a representative class. The width of the Honda is 1845 mm, in height - 1475. The wheelbase is also rather big - 2800 mm. And the ground clearance is 145 mm (good indicators for Russian roads).

The fuel tank is bulky - 70 liters, which can not but rejoice. Front mounted independent spring suspension, rear - the same. What about brakes? Front mounted disc and ventilated, and rear - disk. This car is loved by many thanks to the quality of assembly, appearance, comfortable interior and decent technical characteristics.

Owner feedback

Many people own cars like the Honda Inspire UC1. The car is good, so it's worth telling about what they say about it directly those motorists who ride it.

The first thing people celebrate is her endurance. The car practically does not break, which makes it an excellent choice as a vehicle that can be operated every day for several tens of kilometers. Sure driving is another advantage. No rolls, drifts and other troubles - a complete pleasure from the process of driving. In addition to all - great noise insulation. Even the rustling of the tires is not audible. Of course, this car is not for high speeds and obviously not for conquering roads, but for daily driving UC1 fits perfectly.

And this model is comfortable, which is noted by all owners. In the sense that it is really nice to be in it. The seats are decorated with quality fabric, equipped with an electric adjustment, electronic curtains, a practical dashboard, an excellent steering wheel (which can also be adjusted by flight and height). Even a mirror with a blackout is available. And, of course, good music is a clear advantage. So the car is not bad, the main thing is to follow it, and it will serve many more years to its owner.

Cost of old models

So, cars "at the age of" are quite cheap - it's known to everyone. And Honda is no exception. So, for example, the version of 1995 can cost about 140 thousand rubles (in the average state). Perhaps, it will be the most inexpensive option from all existing. The 1996 model is about 175,000 rubles. By the way, the car, released in 1997, will cost about the same amount. But the 1998 version will cost much more - about 250 thousand rubles. Like the 1999 model (plus or minus 10-20 thousand). Versions of 2000 are about the same, sometimes even cheaper. Prices, in general, rather big, many are resolved to buy for this money, for example, the legendary 124th Mercedes, or something from BMW, but this is an individual choice of each motorist. Honda is also a good car.

Prices for the latest generation

This question is more urgent, as many motorists decide to purchase a newer car. But they will cost more. At least 400 thousand rubles (if you want to own a car that is in good condition). The most expensive are the models released after 2010. Their price can reach 1 300 000 rubles, and even more. This - not two or three hundred thousand, for such a sum you can take some good foreign car from the salon.

In general, if you want to become the owner of this car, you can be sure - the purchase will bring joy and a minimum of problems. Only, getting a car from hand, it is worth checking it before signing a contract for SRT, so that later there were no unpleasant surprises in the form of knocking engine or other breakdowns.
