2004 Insight review.
For economy, the only car I feel could beat the Insight would be an electric car recharged with solar panels. Its aerodynamics makes it almost uneffected by wind for safety as well as energy efficiency. Only drawback is that it carries onlt 2 people, but the space is very ample and comfortable for those 2 people. I know I can race any car on the road to the end of our tanks, and win. The place where it wins the nicest is at the pump at every fillup.
LONG-Term Honda Insight
Mine is a 2000 Insight purchased in
March, 2000. It now has 116,000 miles
on the odometer and has been absolutely
trouble free. I mean, not even as much
as a single lightbulb has ever needed
replacement.
In brief, it is the very best car I have
ever owned by a VERY wide margin, and
I've owned a few, including a big
Mercedes, two BMWs, two Volvos, an Alfa
Romeo, and other nice cars. It's a
spectacular long-distance cruiser -- I
once went over 800 miles actually
nonstop, and only stopped then because I
had to pee -- I still had gasoline left
in the 10.6 gal tank. It's quiet and
comfy and is the only car I've ever
owned where I don't need the seat all
the way back. I absolutely LOVE it!
Hybrids KICK GAS
Much more fun than we ever imagined.
Quick and fast. Cruises on highway at
70-90 with no problem other than having
to occasionaly downshift. Concentrating
on milage we get upper 60mpg's. Driving
fast low 50's. In city, Washington DC,
no option other than drive aggressively
we get low 40's. Great city car because
nimble and quick. When supersized, dark
colored SUV's tend to get aggressive
it's a simple matter to leave them in
the rear view mirror with a smile. Many
people think the car is all electric
and most don't know it gets up to 70
mpg and can go 115 mph. Commercial
media, the one source most Americans
use for news, does a horrible job of
informing the public.
