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.

  Long-term Honda Insight - 2004 Honda Insight
  By Dr..Planarian - May 17 - 2:00 am

  Mine 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.

  best car ever - 2004 Honda Insight
  By david johnson - May 7 - 2:00 am

  For 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.

  Insight Fun to Drive - 2004 Honda Insight
  By Stephen Smith - April 11 - 2:00 am

  My Insight gets 68 mpg and its peppy and fun to drive. It has an enormous head turning quotient and many people who see the car express interest and highly positive feelings about it. Some people have even thanked me that I cared enough about the environment to buy it.

  Now for Something Completely Different - 2004 Honda Insight
  By Ambientity - April 9 - 2:00 am

  When I began my search for a new car, I looked for one that would have character and performance. I wanted an anti-SUV, an "environmentally friendly" automobile (perhaps an oxymoron), and a car that you would not see every day. The Insight is uniquely and beautifully designed. It provides the "difference" which I was seeking and is, both in size and performance, the quintessential "anti-SUV." I now hope that more and more drivers will opt for this wonderful, sensible, and responsible vehicle.

  Insight 2003 - 2004 Honda Insight
  By paulrich - April 9 - 2:00 am

  This has been an excellent commuting car for my wife and I. We drive 125 miles round trip everyday. Unlike many of the Prius reviews, we are actually exceeding the DOT Mileage rating. In the winter time we were getting 60 to 62 mpg. With the warmer weather we are now achieveing 68 to 72 mpg. We found that the mileage was a little less for the first 3000 miles, as stated by the dealer, but after that break in period it has been an excellent performer. The car operates as any other car, a little sluggish on the long uphill home, we use third gear instead of fourth on our regular Honda.

  Honda Insight - First Hybrid on the Road - 2004 Honda Insight
  By Dr. Kearns - April 4 - 3:00 am

  I bought my 2000 Honda Insight in April 2001. In 2000, Honda was the first to put hybrids on the road. My Insight has motored 69,200 miles with a lifetime gas consumption of 62.5 miles per gallon (mpg). The interior is comfortable and stylish. The unique seat supports my double-herniated back even on the long haul drives. The car is fun, generating curiosity and honks of approval. Plus, with 62.5 mpg and that nifty tax write off of $1500, I can feel good about the environment, global situations, and my own finances. Its just plain nice!
