  Traded my beloved Wrangler for practicality and economy. Excellent handling. Great commute vehicle. Excellent value for the price. Actual fuel economy around 48 mpg.

  An Insight to the Insight - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Hank - November 30 - 12:40 am

  The eco-drive feature has really helped me break some of my bad driving habits, e.g., fast starts and hard breaking. The instrument displays and driving feedback are very readable. The reduction in power in the eco- drive did not significantly reduce performance for me.

  Love it! - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Donna - October 1 - 1:33 pm

  Thousands less than the Prius and comparable mpg. Plus, it seems like everybody and their brother drives a Prius these days! I like having a car thats not ubiquitous. Its fun to drive, and I am getting around 50 mpg. I am very happy with my Insight!

  Great MPG, cool looking car - 2010 Honda Insight
  By hondainsightguy - June 28 - 5:50 am

  I have owned several Hondas in the past, I think this is one of the nicest ones yet. The look of the car is great, it reminds me of the Honda CRXs back in the 80s. I only wish it had a moonroof like my previous Civic. The Econ mode really helps with the fuel economy and I am averaging right at 44 mpg with the first 3000 miles I have put on it. When driving this car it seems to make my a lot less stressed then driving other cars, I guess it just gives you a good feeling knowing you are driving a green vehicle. Honda is right it is the first hybrid for everyone.

  I love it - 2010 Honda Insight
  By sass1125 - June 25 - 6:30 am

  I have had mine a week - already getting 45.2 mpg. Ive been driving SUVs and thought it would be hard to go back to a car, but I love it. This is my first purchase, usually lease, but I know Ill have this for a long time!

  By IBWong - May 28 - 4:03 pm

  Perfect commuter car. Great gas mileage and safety features. Useful trunk size and helpful Eco-Assist info in terms of helping one optimize ones driving habits for best economy. Rearward visibility a bit restricted with highback childs booster seat installed.

  Great looks but dangerously underpowered - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Texas Consumer - May 19 - 8:56 am

  Been a big Honda fan. Owned Civic, Accord, another Accord and Integra. All great cars. This one, I really wanted to like it. Looks: Very cute. Wife thought interior reminded her of video game console. Very gadgetty. We test drove. Right out of the dealership (w/ 3 people driver, passenger and salesman), we were on the access road next to the highway. I had to punch it to make it to the entrance ramp. The car revved very high but the speed increased ever so slowly. 3 sets of 2 cars passed us both on left and right side of the Insight before making it. Too dangerous! When got off and did local driving, the car was great. Considering the size, very comfortable.

  Better than the Prius - 2010 Honda Insight
  By RandyL - April 19 - 10:03 pm

  I have owned my 2010 Honda Insight for about three months now. What a great car! I have been averaging 49.4 mpg. They need to redo the govt estimate. I would buy this car over the Prius any day. The car tells you how to drive more efficiently, great feedback.

  Not enough power for Texas summer - 2010 Honda Insight
  By In Texas - February 6 - 11:23 pm

  Although I look like sportiness of the car, dont buy it if you live somewhere hot like Texas. When you come to a stoplight, the A/C turns off. You can override by turning off the Econ button, but then what is the point of having a hybrid. Ive also found it doesnt have enough power to accelerate when merging into traffic with the hills we have here. Ive owned Hondas for 25 years and was adamant about not getting a Prius, but now Im regretting it. I do like the ability to see gas mileage and how my driving affects it, and Im getting good gas mileage, although not as good as my Prius friends.
