Consumer Reports rates Honda Insight (3rd generation) best -- ranking it in the top 10 cars they reviewed in April 2023 Car Buying issue! Pleasure to drive, eye-catching looks for a sedan, 52 MPH EPA rating accurate, reliable. Like Toyota, there are some recalls though-- one annually.

Don't lose a star for brightness...

I have driven mine over 100,000 miles and haven't had any problems. I love the sports mode for freeways and hills. Pretty much the only thing I don't like is how bright the headlight is at night as folks think I have my bright lights on when I don't.

My 2019 Insight is a pain in my butt.

I loved my Insight until I took it on a long trip by the second day [in a 3 day trip] my bottom was so sore I went searching for a cushion. It was a looong trip. I now have 2 cushions and a dread of long trips. would love to get a different seat cuz I love how the car handles and mileage is great. I had a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid for 11 years many long trips no problem.

Almost new. No shift lever, all electric. Charging engine makes more noise than a standard car and it runs most of the time. Not driven much yet.

Another great hybrid

After driving a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid for 5 years, we switched to the 2019 Honda Insight as Ford announced the discontinuing Fusion line. The Insight touring model is extremely comfortable to drive and we enjoy all of the new safety features on this car. Fuel economy is better than the Fusion. When driving around town and short highway trips, we average around the 50 MPG, while on trips, we have been averaging around 48 MPG at highway speeds. The Insight has a totally different drive system than CVT system found on other Hybrids. This is an electric motor drive plus a clutch system. It technicality impossible for me to explain, go the Honda site for full description.
