  The Hallelujah Hybrid - 2010 Honda Insight
  By hunter20ga - September 22 - 9:43 pm

  The Honda Insight makes you want to shout "hallelujah!" Finally, a hybrid with vigor! No one will confuse this car with the sporty Civic Si, but neither will you feel left in the dust at every stoplight in normal traffic. The Insight is responsive, fun to drive, and easy on the eyes. The interior is competitive in the price range. Seats could be upgraded some, though, with more adjustment for both driver and front passenger. Expect to beat the EPA ratings...my first 500 miles (about 65% highway and 35% city) yielded a nice 46.5 mpg, even with a strong quartering wind for the last 125 miles that knocked about a mile per gallon off the trips average.

  Exceptional Car - 2010 Honda Insight
  By JA - August 24 - 10:23 pm

  Car has performed flawlessly - I have averaged 48.1 mpg on combined city/hwy driving which surprised me as the car is only rated at 40 city / 43 hwy.

  Fun To Drive! - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Chris - June 30 - 7:50 am

  The driving experience is very engaging thanks to a well designed informative display, and crisp responsive handling. If you are transitioning from a manual, the paddle shifters, tach and detailed display make driving just as interesting. Eco feedback is a good feature, 48 MPG so far after 500 miles of an even mix of highway/city. CVT shifting is smooth and braking is natural. Seats are comfortable and inner room is great for a car of its size, 510 friend could sit comfortably in rear. For me this car beat the Prius on style, interior design and the peppy driving feel, the lower price was just a bonus.

  New Insight Owner - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Gibbey - June 21 - 8:53 am

  Ive never owned a new car, and also didnt think Id really be able to afford a hybrid anytime soon. However, the Honda Insight is a very comfortable and response gas-saver, and the features are incredibly well done. This is a very affordable ride for your normal commuter, and in going through my 90+ miles/day, I have to say the 2010 Insight is fantastic.

  Great Small Eco Car - 2010 Honda Insight
  By crv139 - June 7 - 10:23 pm

  Great little car. Its no sports car by it gets you to drive in the most eco way and save you money on gas. Its a cool looking car that has a lot of features for the price. This vehicle will not cost you that much to operate. So the money you save from this vehicle you can go out and buy your sports car.

  Very Pleased - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Ben - June 4 - 6:03 pm

  I knew I wanted a hybrid and did a LOT of research. It came down to the new Prius or the Insight. I went with the Insight and am very happy so far. The Insight is a lot of fun to drive. It feels really light, turns tight, and feels sporty. Pickup is surprisingly good considering the engine size. Cargo area is good. Some reviewers said road noise is bothersome, which I have yet to notice. So far the cabin is very quiet. When you really do put the gas to it the engine does rev high, and gets kind of noisy, but once up to speed comes right down. Its not distracting or annoying. In our first 200 miles weve averaged about 42 mpg, almost all city driving. I really recommend this car.

  The MPG Rating is the real deal! - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Vox - January 10 - 4:13 pm

  Other reviewers have covered the vehicle design and overall performance thoroughly, so I will only say that the build quality and design have lived up to my expectations. What impressed me most is the MPG!I have driven approximately 3k miles to date, with the majority being city miles. My mileage has been consistently around 45 mpg, which is better than Honda advertises. Only in the last two weeks have I had a chance to do any serious amount of freeway mileage, and let me tell you, this is where the car shines! On a 250 mile trip in the flat central valley of California I ended up with 54 MPG! Tonight I returned from a 460 mile trip over the Sierra Nevada on one tank with gas to spare.

  Great Value! - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Mtloveskg - December 22 - 10:06 pm

  EPA says 43/40 MPG, I get after 2k miles 45.6 with AC on and NO hypermiling! Economode is on 75% of the time! Fun car to drive, economical and a Honda so you cant go wrong!

  Honda Insight - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Pat Mahoney - October 25 - 1:56 pm

  Just took delivery of my Honda Insight. It has surprised me in that the ride is comfortable and the road noise is non factor. The fuel mileage is tracked by the computer and registers 52.4 miles per gallon. I have yet to fill up the tank from delivery. Driven 400 miles. It has opened up my eyes in driving to conserve fuel. Great car for going back and forth to work.

  Great Buy - 2010 Honda Insight
  By Wolfgang - October 18 - 3:40 pm

  This was a pleasant surprise! The estimated MPG were 40 town and 43 hwy. I filled up after 1 week of driving and overall MPG was 49.7. The Dashboard instruments are easy to read and use. It handles the road better then the Prius and is better looking as well. What sold me was the cargo space was more then ample especially with the back seats folded forward. Give this car a solid 10.
