This tiny car draws comments everywhere. I have found it responsive and reliable, reasonably comfortable, and large enough to go camping with, but it won't carry a boat or bike. You have to learn to drive it carefully to get the best gas mileage. Push it too hard too long and the mileage goes down. But it will go fast and far with no complaints. Have taken it to Maine from the Midwest, have taken a passenger on a trip, have gone ten thousand four hundred fift three miles since I bought it 3 months ago. Frankly, I love it. Wish it had cruise control, but it has everything else I need.

it is efficient, economic and serves my purpose: even though I drive 150 miles per day, I only fill up once a week as opposed to my civic I had to fill every other day. And I only have an 11 gallon tank. This thing gets recharged when I go down hill, when I downshift and when I brake. Never have to plug the babe in. it has good pick-up when needed, just as a regular car without a turbo. It is peppier than the small Subaru I use to have, that’s for sure.

There are the rest and then there is the insight that is the best. The insight inside and out makes other cars look old and outdated. Heads will turn when you drive this car. Be prepared to answer alot of questions. It looks and drives like no other car on the road. So why has Honda been so quite about this great car? Are they still losing money for every insight they sell. Well get out the word, this car is worth every dollar.

this is the perfect car with only one possible exception; it is only a two seater. But Honda has resolved that problem too- by making this technology available in the Civic. For the single commuter though, nothing will ever compete with the Insight, nothing! Do you hear me, Prius owners? The Prius has some "neat" options, but if it's economy you're looking for, keyless ignition doesn't mean squat. Don't get me wrong, Toyota makes the second best vehicles in the world!
