I'm a car nut. I've looked at the prius, ioniq, Camry hybrid, Accord hybrid and the Niro. Every one of them have unique advantages over the insight. But, they also had disadvantages (brakes, styling, infotainment, price, etc.). The Insight has the best mix of every advantage and minimum disadvantages of them all. Honda did a great job of balancing every aspect of this vehicle and it shows. As far as MPG ratings go, I drove this beauty like I stole it in Sport mode (my break-in process) and still averaged 35 MPG for my first tank. Not too shabby....

We live in a suburban/rural area that now has lots of traffic, but is more open than city driving. We have about 3,000 miles on our car now and in the summer we got up to 57 mpg with most tanks averaging over 50. Mileage has dropped to about 47 during the winter. We generally don't use the Eco mode as it is too gutless. We bought the EX model and miss the heated seats and leather wrapped wheel of the Touring, but still feel the EX model was right for our needs. The gas motor is noisy and drones when needed on the freeway. Seats are comfortable and the tech is adequate or better. The only negative being Honda's crummy blind side lane alert system which only alerts you via a camera on the passenger side mirror and, then, not until you signal a turn or turn on the system permanently which takes over the whole NAV screen. Our other car has a blind spot alert system that simply turns on a light on the mirror of either the driver's or passenger's side mirror and stays lit until the threat has passed. Simple and effective, c'mon Honda. Overall, this has been a great car for a daily driver which was why we got it. It's cheap to drive, looks great, performs well and is safe. It's a perfect car for local driving, but wouldn't be a first choice for a long road trip.

Beautiful and we'll made car. Touring trim feels and looks like a high end luxury car. The one and only downside is the engine tends to be noisy at times. Cabin is relatively quiet.

Beautiful looking, riding, driving car. Great interior. Cost of ownership appears low so far. My biggest and only complaints are: 1- if there was another 6-8 inches of legroom in the back it might just be perfect. 2-there are some software issues that need updating in the console technology. Update- some other things that have cropped up since I’ve owned this vehicle for a year now: Bluetooth is still an issue here and there. Seemingly some weeks, it’s perfect and great. I gave full connectivity with my phone and car and zero issues. Some weeks, I have to force to phone and car to forget each other and re-pair. Maintenance minder, the car can only use 0-20 synthetic oil, rated for 12,000 miles. The car uses a percent scale system with increments of 500 miles. So a fresh oil change, gives you 100% and every 500 miles, 5% is deducted from the 100%. The maintenance minder starts at 15%. So for 1,500 miles you have to clear the maintenance reminder EVERY time you start the car. Some interior panels have a little gaping in them here and their, specifically the center console. Also I’ve been getting some vehicle alerts from the brake system, saying they need serviced. By the time you go to check them on the car, the code is already gone or inactive. Maybe a bad sensor, maybe bad software- I’m going to have it checked, and doubtlessly it will be covered by the warranty. Overall, still hugely happy with my car. Gorgeous, rides great, amazing mpg. I would buy this car again without even considering anything else. If you’re considering buying it, my recommendation is to absolutely pull the trigger. 4-22-20, I’ve figured out the regular hybrid mode is the most fuel efficient, averaging 55 mpg year round still. I get closer to 65 on the city streets under 55mph environment. 4-22-21 still a great little car. 10-21-22. Still adore this car. 40k miles. It’s never been in a shop for anything outside of preventative maintenance. And it still is so much fun to drive. I love the gas mileage I’m getting given fuel costs. Oh and the brake thing turned out to be software. Five stars. I would buy this car over and over. 4-22-23 still rolling. Still getting 50-60mpg 4-24-25 I sold the car recently, and not really by choice so much out of necessity. It was easier to put my last dog down, honestly. That car was amazing, I loved it, every moment I owned it. It never spent a day of its life in a shop, outside of regular planned maintenance. I put an absolutely crap load of miles on it, and I was not gentle all the time. I want to circle back to why this was so hard to sell; it only had 70,000 miles on it, but it was extremely clear the car had a lot of life left in it. With its regular maintenance, I'm confident it will drive well past 150,000 miles fairly surprise free. Such a good car.

We love this car. You get allot for your money with the EX model. Performance, storage, technology hit all the high marks. The Bonus is 5 Star Safety Plus Insurance safety rating. The LED headlights are amazing.
