Overview & Reviews

No changes are in store for Honda's clever gas-electric hybrid vehicle.

• 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.

  What A Little Gem! - 2002 Honda Insight
  By Tim - February 26 - 9:49 am

  I originally bought this car, new, partially for its technology and partially because I have always preferred smaller cars. My test ride was more than I expected and I was especially surprised at its sportiness and very good excelleration. Other than normal oil changes, filters, I have had zero problems and just a great experience with this little gem for the past four years. I have taken several long trips (more than 1000 miles) and was not only very comfortable but averaged over 80 MPG, and my speed was over 70 MPH-usually 80 MPH. I enjoy passing by a huge gas guzzling SUV and just smile with a grin that says whos the dumb irresponsible consumer now?

  mileage wrong--84 mpg - 2002 Honda Insight
  By Rob Fenwick - July 8 - 2:00 am

  Drive from Southern Maryland to Northern VA everyday to work. Great commuter car. Advertised at 61-70 mpg but my lifetime mpg is 84. Mileage always better in warmer weather, but Im not sure why. 75 miles 1 way, and over 35k per year. Already over 60k miles. My guess is this baby will go well over 200k during its lifetime.
