Best car I have ever owned

I bought my Insight al little over a year ago, used. It is fun to drive, has held up very well and averages about 62 MPG. I can't believe Honda is stopping production. Instead they should be advertising the Insight as the answer to the world's oil crisis. Anyone that has to commute long distances should own one.

This car has given me a new perspective on vehicles in general. While I've always tended to make prudent purchases to fit my lifestyle, this one's been the best so far. While the car handles like a bat-outta-hell, gets mileage worthy of boasting, and has been comfortable and reliable for me, I realize it's not for everyone, especially those with children. I own a retina-fryingly green Insight, and find that it does have what designers refer to as 'neck-break appeal'. Mileage exceeds that of most hybrids, 54-79 mpg, depending on conditions & driving. Every friend I have shops, hunts & dreams about that better car to own in his/her future. I feel no need to do so. I'm thrilled with this car!

Good start, but not enough for me

The Insight was a great concept from Honda, but unfortunatly dose not do anything for me. I hate the fact I can not get more then 1 passanger in my car. Or the fact in a minor crosswind my car feels like it is going to be blown off the road. Or the fact that when going up hill out of town, I feel it will never make the top. I can barly put three bags of groceries in back without filling the back up. And finaly no machanic (besides honda) will take a look at the think to even attempt a repair, so I am forced to go to honda to have anything replaced.

The idea to combine an ecology friendly electric powered vehicle with the convenience of gasoline power (fill up on any corner) is futuristic & long overdue. Last fall I bought one for my teen daughter. She drives it non-stop & loves the great gas mileage: 50-60 mpg. Whenever I catch it at home, it's my car of choice to drive. I love zippin' around town & into tight parking places. Each driver in the family brags on who's getting the best mpg, each trying to top the other. It's a blast to drive, with fun instrumentation! We've put 12K miles on it in 6 months and the only problem we've had it in the shop for was a battery harness recall and suggested periodic maintenance.

Insight Built For The Track

I have driven this car over 30,000 miles and find it faster then all the magazines claimed it to be.The car is capable of standing starts much quicker than PT Cruiser,Mazda Miata,Dodge Durango,Porsche boxter,Cadillac STS,and many others too numerous to mention.Once you learn to sycronize the clutch,shift and gas pedal for best performance you get a car that out performs all the previous data that I have read. I have climbed steephills at over 90mph with pedal left over.I have embaressed Porsche owners as I have left them at traffic lights and out maneuvered them in traffic.
