It would be better if the dealer actually had one. This generation Insight is the best example of hybrid technology that was available from a regular auto manufacturer. Unfortunately, it was dropped by Honda in favor of a system more like the relatively inefficient Toyota Prius. If you can find one, buy it!Nov 01, 2020

Bought in 2005, this car is a daily commuter and road trip warrior. Depending how you drive it - I've average between 65 and 45 MPG. Tinted, blacked-out rims, subwoofer and custom 6x9 rear speakers - I love this car.
Overall, a total of $1,000 put into this car for mechanical related issues (expensive fuel sensor) but nothing else (tires and oil changes).Sep 14, 2013

Aluminum and plastic this car only weighs 1600 lbs., I tow it behind my RV and don't know it's there, Comfortable for long distances, if the sun goes down and the gas stations all close, so what? Just keep driving until dawn, great car for crossing the country quickly and cheaply. When the batteries are not acting up it drives VERY well, sporty, and quiet. I still have YEARS of warranty on the batteries, likely I will never need to pay for any repairs on them, and the dealer repaired them after showing the issue of recalibration to them.Jul 17, 2013

Not very fast but is okay, normal i'd say
Build quality is decent, but no doubts about it this car was designed to be cheap
Personal opinions vary, particularly with this car, but either way you can say this
car is unique in its stylingOct 11, 2010

75 MPG can't beat this, Vera cute !!! The EGR Valve is little twiky, but couple or drops down the road should't affect my long to stay opinion. Honda of America just replaced the Batt with a fresh ones, so we good to go for another 150k miles and plus.Highly recommended for people on a tight buget like myself and rest of the most humans. As some said. "If don't understand it don't laught about it." simply keep drinking up "your meds." Dec 09, 2009

If you run out of battery, you have to operate the clutch differently and the car runs slow. Otherwise it can get up to 65 Miles per gallon on the highways. In the city it is more like in the 50s which isnt bad either.Jul 26, 2009

There is a lot of road noise on the freeway. It has an excellent turning radius. The gas mileage is amazing! The batteries that were originally put in go dead, but Honda replaces them under warranty. The interior is skimpy to save on the weight, but not having all the extra stuff is nice. The outside takes some getting used to with the wheel skirts, but I have come to like it. Overall it is a joy to drive and I look forward to getting every time. Dec 09, 2008

This has been an amazing car in both quality and alot of fun to drive. Standard shift with enough pep to get up over the hills in a quick fashion. Gas milage has been 50-70 miles a gallon depending on hot or cold weather. It has 221,000 miles on the car and look forward to keeping it for one of the kids or grandchildren. Dec 08, 2008

With the boost from the electric motor, the three cylinder engine performs more like a powerful four cylinder engine.Feb 10, 2008
