I drove it home about 55 miles and just love it!
Enjoy 2001 CVT

Welcome and Congrats!! I like the color. If the steering wheel is real leather, then it is out of an S2000. If it is 'fake' leather (i.e. molded rubber) then it is the original Insight steering wheel.

Cheers!

Thx for the welcome!
Oh, so they shared the same design steering wheel just real leather on the S2k one! Cool I guess I am in need of an upgrade now!

Yup! The S2k wheel bolts right in. It was the first thing I did when I got mine also

I'll Trade YA!

Interior could use some good deep cleaning and removal of the seat covers.

Headlamp before polishing

After

I washed the car a bit today. Got under the hood and washed some of the 20 years of dirt out from in there.
Probably do a better job tomorrow and clean the interior with some Q tips..

And a side shot

What did you use to polish the headlights? Mine don't look foggy which is what I typically see of some older lights, but mine look wavey, like very old glass.....

I use the turtle wax lens kit at kragen.

Oh nice clean looking car by the way. I like the blue color. That rubber lining on the door is pretty much peeled off all the way on mine. I see yours is kind of showing some wear as well.
