Overview & Reviews
A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available for 2001, and Monte Carlo Blue Pearl replaces Citrus Yellow on the color chart.
- Amazing fuel economy, astounding technology, lots of standard equipment.
- Batteries drain fast under continual electric motor assist, highly susceptible to crosswinds, not much point-and-shoot power on tap.

Ingrid the Insight - 2001 Honda Insight
By Shoe - April 12 - 5:55 pmThis is the best purchase Ive ever made. 90k miles later, Im still loving it. You must be committed to the cause of low emissions and reduced fuel consumption, because a two seater with fewer horses than most riding mowers is not for everyone. I can fit two sets of golf clubs in the back and my passenger and I are very comfortable. Smart car. Youd look smart driving it.

Great Little Car - 2001 Honda Insight
By mh54 - April 11 - 4:23 pmMy 2001 Insight is coming up on 100,000 miles of oil-change only driving. It has been an excellent automobile! Yes, I wish it was a little more powerful, but 60 MPG does not come without cost.

2001 Honda Insight - 2001 Honda Insight
By floatee - March 13 - 2:00 amGreat gas mileage, but not as high as advertised (I have a 58 mpg average right now). Mileage drops significantly in winter. Road handling diminishes in rain/snow/ice/wind conditions. Storage is poor, but that is obvious before buying. I have a 40 mile round trip commute in Chicago-area traffic and have taken it on a few longer trips (500+ miles) too.

Good for Commutes - 2001 Honda Insight
By Yvonne333 - March 4 - 3:53 pmAll in all, the Insight has done well as a commuter car. I commute 88 miles each day. Gas has been great. According to advertisements, I should be getting between 62 and 68 mpg. Reality-I get on average 58 hwy & 52 city. Warning! I fell into the California clean air trap. According to California DMV, the Insight DOES NOT qualify for carpool status for clean air vehicles. Unfortunately, California made that a rule in 2000 and didnt mention it to dealers still promoting this perk.
