I've had this car for just over a year and am mostly happy with it though it doesn't make for a good winter car as it is too light. Road noise is a bit harsh also.

For real: 70 MPG

Bought my little beastie with 36,000 on it, have put another 6000 on it. I've averaged, mixed city and highway, 70.6 MPG, with an occasional 80 MPG on the highway. Comfortable, reasonable performance, perfect car for my needs. It's STRANGE to go 700 plus miles on 10 gallons of gas! Plenty of luggage space, I routinely put my road or my mountain bike in the back, and have even put two bikes in (a bit of a trick, had to take one pedal off).

bought the car used when our "winter rat" died. was looking for basic transportation, cheap. dealer had nothing, but told me to look around. the insight jumped out, bright red, futuristic styling, two seater. i am a big man, over 6 foot 225#, i sat in it, i fit. dealer jumped me, i played coy. found that it had sat one year total between the two pervious owners trading it in becaus it was a two seater. it has been great, i got it used with 45,000 miles for $9,000. get mid 70 mph on trip, 55 in winter with snow tires and 65 in summer. ok in winter driving, and does not rust. i would buy again. dont fret about payload, my wife and i drive together, 400# payload and we still can get groceries

Insight Defines High Performance.

I have been Driving my Honda Insight for almost a year now. Bought it used at 15K, now at 30K I average about 55 mpg as I am a rather aggressive driver and traffic here in the Seattle area can be quite "parking lot'ish". The Insight is quite capable of achieving 70 mpg if you are willing to drive the speed limit and keep an eco-minded feather light foot. When talking performance the Insight employs a number of advanced technologies, from the "Integrated Motor Assist" and regen breaking, to the aluminum chassis, and the lowest drag coefficient (.25) of any mass production car.

Excellent in all respects. Just over 8700 miles. 63.4 MPG overall combined city and highway mileage. Can make easy 74 MPG on commute at sea level at 62 MPH; less in the mountains. 0-60 acceleration not great, but quick off the line. As reliable as any Honda or Toyota. Turns Heads! Fun to drive, sports car handling. Can run with the BMWs on I5 using the Electric Motor Boost as passing gear (staying in 5th) and still get 58 MPG.
