Overview & Reviews
The CD-equipped audio system with four speakers is now standard equipment, and the fuel consumption gauge's illumination color changes from green to red. All Honda cars gain a new seatbelt reminder system this year.
- Amazing fuel economy, quick steering, lots of standard equipment.
- Batteries drain fast under continual electric motor assist, highly susceptible to crosswinds, not much point-and-shoot power on tap, small payload capacity.

DREAM MACHINE - 2004 Honda Insight
By JON HENRY - June 19 - 2:00 amPurchased in Oct., 2000. Currently over 50,000 trouble free miles. Mileage depending on driving conditions: +50 mpg in Michigan winter to +60 mpg in summer overall. Have gotten +85 mpg when trying in summer and as low as +47 mpg above 80 mph highway or cold winter mornings. Excellent acceleration. Tight sports car like steering and suspension. Highly recommended.

Insight Rocks! - 2004 Honda Insight
By agroeros - June 12 - 2:00 amOnly disadvantage is that it is hard to find a garage who will work on it other than your dealer.

Long-term Honda Insight - 2004 Honda Insight
By Dr..Planarian - May 17 - 2:00 amMine is a 2000. I bought this car in March, 2000, and it now has 102,000 miles on it. Its been utterly reliable -- nothing has gone wrong. I have replaced the brake pads, tires, and windshield wiper blades only once, and the only problem it ever had is that the passenger side power door lock once failed ($130 repair). I have NEVER needed to replace a light bulb - the lack of vibration in this car makes everything last longer. Ive owned two BMWs, an S-Class Mercedes, two Volvos, an Alfa, and other nice cars, but the Honda Insight is, by a very wide margin, the BEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED, period.

Insight Out-of-Sight! - 2004 Honda Insight
By tennisashoe - May 11 - 2:00 amI have owned my Insight for 3 years and it has saved me over $4000 in fuel costs so far. Its a stylish little car with plenty of room for 2 sets of golf clubs in its roomy trunk. I need a trunk more than a back seat anyway. If you are the only passenger in your car more than 50% of the time, you should be driving an Insight. The fuel and space you are wasting is costing you $$! You dont have to plug in the battery or do any type of special maintenance on this car. It has plenty of power, unless youre running the A/C and traveling uphill. Its easier than you think. Go for it.

best car ever - 2004 Honda Insight
By david johnson - May 7 - 2:00 amFor two years I wanted an Insight. I talked myself out of it because it was a two seater. I decided to buy a Think electric car instead, but Ford stopped that one. Last Summer (2003) I decided to go for it. I ordered an Insight and it took 6 months for it to arrive.Then, I got the car. It is the best car ever made. On trips I regularly exceed 80 mpg. It handles like a sports car. It goes around corners like water thru a hose as they say. And its roomy inside. Just my favorite car Ive ever owned. Everything works great.

2004 Honda Insight - 2004 Honda Insight
By rabbit 162 - May 5 - 2:00 amThe fuel economy is incredible! Even though the car is rated at only 87hp, it has plenty of power. Unfortunately, it is not equipped with cruise control, to which I have become accustomed. Also, rear visibility has been sacrificed in the interest of styling.
