Honda Insight Auto-stop

Written by: rookie60 on Oct 28, 2009 04:33 PM

I have a 2010 Insight. The auto-stop is a joke. Half the time it does not even shut off the engine at a stop light. However, when it does shut off the engine at a stop sign, it only does it for about 30 seconds. Then the engine restarts. Is this normal? Do I have to bring it into the dealership to have something reset? Any comments out there??? Read More...

With a few more thousand miles on the odometer...

Now that I've had the 2010 Honda Insight for a few more months and a couple of thousand miles additional on the odometer, here are my observations; most contradict virtually everything I've read in magazines or on the web: What the reviews had right: one thing only...the acceleration. Yes, the car accelerates slowly, but it's a hybrid, what do you expect. Having ... Read More...

I sat in an Insight Last Week

Written by: jpeters1970 on Sep 06, 2009 09:48 AM

I am only going to express my opinion with regards to the interior and fit and finish. I was out shopping with my parents for a new Honda Accord Coupe. I saw the Insight in the middle of the showroom and was surprised it wasn't showcased in a more visible area. I opened the doors, sat inside and immediately realized I would not enjoy the car. Egress into the vehicle is ... Read More...

Who is that car buff? This posting is that of a Toyota fanatic to scare people away from the Insight. Honda will not let go at the Insight for a long while.The posting you read is a fake . Do not worry about it. I had to get rid of a Prius 2008 because it would not travel on Icy roads (the prolem is the same on the Prius 2010 and I am now buying and Insight because it has what is ...

Insight2 longivity

Written by: franko1 on Jul 28, 2009 07:29 PM

I also bought an insight in May 09 and now I'm concerned. I recently read many prius web sites and message boards and one article stood out that alarmed me. One car buff went to Japan to get reviews on hybrids and he met up with a honda executive and they discussed both hybrids. He said it appears Honda got blind sided by the prius msrp reduction, and the advanced hybrid ... Read More...
