I have been driving my Insight for close to 5 years. Overall, it has performed very well-even when the battery pack unexpectedly failed recently (it was 6 years old), I had no problems getting back on the road in about 2 weeks, completely covered by Honda's warranty. I've averaged over 54 mpg, mostly in short-trip, city driving in Michigan, where the cold winters reduce mileage quite a bit. However in the summer, I easily average 60 mpg or more.

Oil imports? Trade deficits? Pollution?

(50,000+ mile review) 2 Seat Family Car Limitation: First, install an on/off switch for the passenger side airbag. Next, the Insight can be used when 2 or fewer occupants are to be transported. Our 33 mpg family car used otherwise. The 2 seat limitation never keeps anyone from going anywhere. Mileage: When I drive carefully, the Insight rewards me with 70+ mpg. When I drive otherwise, I average 60-65 mpg. Handling, Driveability: Not an out and out sports car, it does have a sporty, nimble feel. Fit and Finish: It's a Honda... Reliability: It's a Honda...

Watch the Batteries and Value

Another New Car?, 11/19/2002

Recently I noticed that the power cells were discharging more frequently and with less of a stress on them. After contacting my dealer and finding out that new batteries were unavail. and when they were they would be re-manuf & cost $3-5000, I traded the car. The value after 3 years on a trade is only $8-9000. So, If you can sell it privately, do so. Otherwise pay it off and keep it until the batteries need replacing and then hope that they are available. As of Nov. 2002 they were not. A new vehicle priced at 21k only worth 9k three model years later, (with normal mileage) says alot about the manufacturer's and dealer's opinion of the vehicle.

Insight on Maui

Since moving to Maui, the Insight has been the perfect vehicle. Regular gasoline at $2/gallon - and driving about 700 miles a month for pleasure, the car is delivering 72-mpg! We don't use the A/C - it doesn't get hot in Maui - which helps the mileage a lot. We've renovated our home, and all materials except major appliances were transported with this vehicle! I left a superb Mercedes behind, and miss only the sound system.
