Not that great of gas mileage

I have almost 6000 miles on the car and I have only averaged 41.6 MPG. I have a 25 mile commute and I average 75 MPH. When the weather got colder I noticed my mileage dropped from 41 to 36-37 because the engine has to "warm up" before EV mode will kick in. The car is garage kept so it's not frozen by any means. I am not super happy and have never gotten anywhere near 50 MPG as advertised. Would I buy the car again? Probably not.

DRIVERS ED ALL OVER AGAIN

There's a lot of new tech in this car. I feel like I need to read the owner's manual a little bit each night to get to know all the features. Last night while driving home, I discovered that "auto lights" includes auto dimming of bright lights too. Who knew? Still learning & loving the 55 mpg I'm getting.

I have the touring model. My only con is that it doesn’t always get quite the mpg that is posted but it is still phenomenal. It looks far better than the Ioniq and Prius but doesn’t sacrifice much in terms of space. Honda makes cars that are generally more fun to drive than their counterparts from Toyota and Hyundai, and this car is certainly no exception.

Don’t expect reliability .

The vehicle has great gas mileage but it’s not reliable at all. The car has little over 2500 miles and I already had to take it to service twice. First it was rear shock replacement and two recalls and second time loud rumbling noise coming from front left.(Service Dept didn’t even bother to explain to me what the problem was) The brakes makes this creaky noise everytime you come to a full stop and the worst part is you have to deal with unfriendly/unresponsive dealerships that don’t even care. Stay away from Honda insight and you won’t be disappointed.

MPG BARELY HITS 40

The design of the vehicle needless to say is great but the vehicle performance is under delivered so far. There is an annoying engine sound that will sound like you are going 80+ MPH but you are only going 35mph. And the worst part, I have not gotten my 47-52 MPG EVER! I have tried every trick to hit the minimum MPG and I am not even close. Very disappointing! #falseadvertising
