  A Fun Car - 2002 Honda Insight
  By edl41 - February 8 - 2:00 am

  This is a fun car that is practical as well as well designed.And economical too.My wife and I prefer the Insight to our new Accord 4dr.Getting better than 50 m.p.g.running errands in the city.The CVT transmission is outstanding.Feels like a turbine.Ride is extra firm--which adds to handling.Disappointed in audio-but I like the car so much I may upgrade.

  I love my Insight - most fun yet - 2002 Honda Insight
  By P.A.Ewing - August 26 - 2:00 am

  I am thoroughly enjoying my new Insight. I have had many people talk to me at stop lights, etc. The technology seems to fascinate them. I have only three criticisms: Upholstery snags easily - its good looking, but I expect to drive a car 10 years. I think I may have to replace the upholstery or seats before my 10 years is up. Gas mileage is about 41-42 mpg - it may be due to the extreme heat in Texas & the constant need for air conditioning. Ill see how we do this winter. As I remember, last winter I was getting 48-49 mpg. Speakers could be a better quality.

  Buy this car! - 2002 Honda Insight
  By Greg232304565 - June 28 - 2:00 am

  Incredible deals could be found on Ebay if you are looking for this car. I love it. The attention you get is amazing. I have guys in Jaguars asking about it. Be not afraid of technology. If you have a long drive to work, it is perfect. Why drive an SUV if you do not really have to?

  Fun, zippy, and gets a ton of attention! - 2002 Honda Insight
  By jpyrz - June 20 - 2:00 am

  I didnt buy this car because Im an environmentalist. I actually am not a big fan of recycling because its a pain most of the time. However, when saving the environment can save me money, and let me drive a fun, zippy car, Im all for it. I was amazed at the get-up that this car has, I was expecting a weak little ride, but it has more power (feels anyway) than the 96 Toyota Corolla I traded in for it.

  I have owned this car for over a year and have found it to be both fun to own and drive. It is without a doubt the most interesting and satisfying of any new car that I have ever purchased.

  Your Car Uses 100 Year-Old Technology - 2002 Honda Insight
  By Tim Drager - March 20 - 2:00 am

  After driving the Insight over 22,000 miles, I feel that Honda is the best car company on the planet. They are about the only car company to put their money where their mouth is. Theyve "walked their talk", in that theyve created a major evolution in the automotive industry, taking 100 year-old combustion technology and brought it into the 21st century. That 3 cylinder engine sounds like a V12 purring under the hood. Ill be darned if I can figure out how Honda did it. Only the best engineering can make a 3 cylinder engine purr like that. I tell you that the Insight IS fun to drive, with its strong torque at the low end and electric steering. Hope you decide to walk your talk.

  A modern CRX - 2002 Honda Insight
  By Gazings - March 10 - 5:50 pm

  I had low expectations of this car - much to my surprise it is quite fast, handles great, and it very comfy. Auto climate control is fantastic. Styling STILL turns heads. Very roomy inside. I strongly suggest you opt for the CVT version - it is way too easy to drain the batteries by lugging the car in too high a gear with the manual, plus you have to downshift to very low gears for good power (2nd gear at 65 mph!). The CVT does it all for you.
