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.

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