Re: Low MPG on 2010 Honda Insight [lsmookler]
Yes Lewis, A/C will drop your mileage. The hotter the temps, the harder the A/C has to work, and the more it will rob your MPGs. It also does something else too. It sometimes causes your engine not to shut off when stopped at a traffic light, which it usually does to save gas. This means you will be often idling, and therefore further robbing your gas mileage. This is because ... Read More

Low MPG on 2010 Honda Insight
Within the last 4 months my millage has dropped from 47mpg to 35. Granted I do live in Houston Texas and the weather has been extremly warm. Would using the air conditioner cause the millage to drop. What else would cause it to drop a good 12mpg? How can I increase the millage to 47-50 mpg. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Lewis

Re: 2010 Insight [kidsid]
I have a camry hybrid (2008) and an insight (2010) so I have lots of experience with both drive systems. Although the pure electric Toyota mode feels very cool (like when searching for street parking and circling the block using zero gas), even with the gas on all the time, the Honda gets amazing mileage. I find the Honda takes more practice to pull really high mileage, but that said it ... Read More

Re: To spunjurno: driving on electric motor only [stevedebi]
Have you seen all of the comparison reviews on youtube? All the articles in print comparing the two vehicles? Ya know like MotorTrend, Car and Driver?

2010/2011 Toyota Prius vs. Honda Insight
I've been involved with cars as a hobby for some 50+ years, and most of that time was spent owning, racing or restoring mostly British sports cars, new & old, with a few notable exceptions. These include a string of Saabs, the occasional VW, Alfa, and more recently Land Rovers (certainly British but in no-one's mind "sports cars"), both old & new. Up until now, my concerns centered around performance, design ... Read More

Re: Lease deals for leftover 2010's [spohio]
Hi spohio. Honda isn't providing lease support on the 2010 Insight any longer. As a result, if you were to lease one through Honda Finance, you would have to use its standard lease program. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Insight LX with 15,000 miles per year are .00200 and 54%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its ...

Insight versus Prius
I recently bought a 2010 Insight. I've been learning how to drive more efficiently, and after two months I am up to 46 mpg, and still climbing. I just "discovered" the usefulness of the moving mpg bar, and realize I can probably be getting well above 50. So, my question, given that the Prius costs about $3,700 less (in the real world with incentives), why isn't the Insight way more popular? ... Read More

Re: Buying and leasing Forum [wombat94]
No problem wombat94. Theoretically you could lease a Honda for 48 months, but you really shouldn't. Honda's special lease money factors are only available for up to 36 months. If you lease for 48 months, the 2010 Insight's money factor jumps from .00104 to .00200 (for Super Preferred tier customers). If I recall correctly, you were considering getting an Insight EX.

Re: Insight vs Prius (09) [dodgeman07]
The $30K figure for a loaded 2010 Prius is too much coin. Possibly. But if indeed Toyota offers a prius in the $22K range to compete head to head with the Insight, why critize them for offering a $30+K for a fully loaded one. Would people critize Honda if they offered the Insight with roof/leather/Nav, etc and heaven forbid raise the price??/

My experience for sobeg6 above
Responding first to rv65 that the Honda will not be called Insight = Whoops :P ------------------------------------------------------------- Responding to sobeq6... EX Model-Fog lights-No Nav Likes: 1. Body style was the overriding reason for the Insight over the Prius. Both cars are nice, but for me, the front end of the Insight is more to my liking. 2. Center dash area. Another main reason for this over the Prius's far right of drivers ... Read More

Re: Real-World 2010 Insight 40 Mile Test Drive [sr146260211]
The car is nice, could be much better, and will be when in 5 years time the full make over arrives as with any new model. I doubt Honda will take 5 years to tweak the Insight. From what I have seen in the past they will find out from consumers what issues crop up the most and resolve them. I think they should have offered the same interior options as ... Read More

My Insight came today and my Fit left.
I traded in my 2009 Honda Fit Sport w/Navi on a 2010 Insight, it arrived today. It's been pouring for 3 days here in western NC but I had to take a little drive in the Insight. I loved my Fit, I hope I love the Insight. The Fit was getting 34 m.p.g. and the Insight shows 39.5 m.p.g. after being driven from SC on major highways to be delivered. I ... Read More

My brief take on the 2010 Insight
Finally got to take a test drive with this new Hybrid and this is what I found to like and dislike. 1. First noticed that the car seemed just a tiny bit cheap looking inside and out, but not much to sway me to leave. Just thought it could be some what like my 09 Civic EX-L 2. The Interior seemed too busy for the dash and that the area for ... Read More

Re: Insight vs Prius (09) [dodgeman07]
It appears that the pricing on the 2010 Prius will come out on April 22nd, Earth Day. I'd expect the standard model 1223 ( Prius II ) to begin around $23500-$24000. From there it may go up as high as $33000 for those that must have all the latest features. There's talk also of a Prius model 1221 ( Prius I ) that will be well below $23000. that's the Insight ...

How to change settings like DOOR LOCK
Gee, a lot of anger and frustration with the Insight eh. I'm just getting to really like mine. I too sat in the driver's seat for a good while trying to get the doors to NOT lock as I drive down the road. It wasn't intuitive and it sure wasn't fun BUT I'm happy to report they do no longer lock automatically. Please allow me to try to help with the ... Read More

Re: Real-World 2010 Insight 40 Mile Test Drive [franko1]
The preferences menu is almost identical to most Honda's/Acura. See page 106. To set the preference select SETUP and then select 'DOOR SETUP' / 'AUTO DOOR UNLOCK' and choose 'ALL DOORS WITH SHIFT TO P'. If that doesn't work I would check with the dealer. The total combined HP is 111HP. No doubt the Fit is little bit faster (about 1 sec to 60mph). Using the S mode helps little bit ... Read More

Ok, the fact that the car is complicated to setup exactly the way you want, is understandable. I'm certain it's a PITA to deal with and hopefully your local dealer can help you with some of that. But as far as performance goes. You did drive the car before you bought it, correct? I mean it's something you'd notice on a normal test drive. Just like I noticed how cramped the ... Read More

Honda's Insght site is up as well now where you can see all colors.

Re: great Insight review from Temple of VTec [204meca]
It seems weird that Honda would add more competition with the Fit Hybrid but they did recently reaffirm this. It might be similar to the Insight competing with the Civic Hybrid: price diff isn't quite as big and design/features are distinct enough to find different type of buyers. Re mileage it clearly depends on the route but on average you should be able to exceed the EPA rating after the break-in ... Read More

Insight vs Fit
I suspect that there will be many Honda fans who are looking for a small, economical Honda Hatch that will be torn between the 2010 Insight and the 2009 Fit. At least that description fits me & I am hope to purchase one of these two cars in the next year. There may even be a few Fit owners who dump their Fit for the "greener" Insight. How about a separate ... Read More

2009 Honda Fit and 2010 Honda Insight in my garage
Not bragging just a happy camper. I traded in my 2005 Honda Element EX AWD (which I very much liked but the warranty had run out) for a 2009 Fit Sport w/Navi when they first came out. I liked the Element so much over the years (not my first Honda) that I was a little worried I'd have regrets with the Fit. Glad to say I had none. The Fit got ... Read More

Initial Lease Offer 3-24-09
Does anyone know what money factor they are offering? I know the Civics are at .00225, which roughly equates to 5.4% (x2400). I see as part of the lease offer they are 'assuming' that dealers will knock 10% off the MSRP. Interesting, since some of them might not for a little bit. ======Here is the initial offer==================== 2010 Insight Featured Standard Lease $229.00 per month for 36 months. $2,799.00 total due ...

Re: 2010 insight Federal tax credit and updating my 2010 Insight experience [moondog6]
I read a news report the other day that hybrids in general are selling slowly, with a 60-day supply of Priuses for example compared to 2 days last year. There's even a rebate on the Prius now, unheard of in the past. So good luck to Honda dealers who add $1500 to the MSRP of an Insight. At that price it will be competing head-to-head with the Prius price-wise. I saw ... Read More

Re: 2010 insight Federal tax credit and updating my 2010 Insight experience
Any new car, including a freakin' Hummer tank, qualifies for the tax credit this year. Sadly (and foolishly), there is no additional hybrid credit that I know of, apart from the plug-in model offers, or what some individual states might offer. My Insight salesman informs me that many other dealers will impose a $1500 additional markup to the price, to which I ask: why? Are they in such demand? Are car ... Read More

Re: 2010 Insight vers. 2009 Prius [strieby]
I actually think this was a fair comparison for two vehicles that in a couple of months are likely to be selling for just about the very same price. The 2010 Prius will list at least $4K - 5K more than the Insight, and it could be argued that its unfair to compare vehicles priced so far apart. The 09 Prius might have greater incentives to move the old stock. I ... Read More
