Stranded!

Bought new in 2019, gets amazing mpg between 48-51 like clockwork, even with using AC. Has had some very slight fit & finish issues until 5/3. Started the car when it began revving & stalling than I received ‘Power System Failure, Do Not Drive’ Car was towed to the Honda dealer where it took them 2 days to diagnose a failure of Fuel injection relay & fuel pump. After years of European cars, I went with a Honda for the alleged reliability. Now I’m not so sure...even my 1977 VW camper has not stranded me like this year old car with less than 20k miles did! Sigh...

Bet I'm Not the Only One

I was upset with Toyota for changing the design of the Prius and couldn't see spending another $30K+ for a car that appeared to be made with cheap materials on the interior so I checked out what I thought would be the next best thing--a Honda Insight. I test drove both the 2019 Insight and the 2018 Prius on the same day, and decided that the comfort, ride, interior styling and comparable gas mileage of the Insight was a better value. Boy was I wrong! Before I hit 1200 miles a warning light telling me that I had "Reduced Power" came on making my Insight non-operational. The dealership informed me that this was due to the cold weather in the midwest and that this is the way hybrid cars work and that I would just have to deal with it. I'm sorry, but I live in Michigan. You sold me a car in Michigan and then tell me I can't drive it when it is really cold in Michigan? I just went out and started my Prius and it works just fine. For the first 600 miles or so I was getting approximately 48 mpg. I drive on flat, country roads where the speed limit ranges from 35 - 50 mph. Around the 1000 mile mark I struggled to get 30 mpg. The dealership says "mileage may vary". A 15 mpg difference in a few hundred miles seems pretty extreme, but the dealership doesn't see an issue. I am now stuck with a vehicle that won't work in the cold and gets 30 mpg. I specifically purchased another hybrid because I drive over 100 miles a day. Wish I would have read more reviews because it seems I'm not the only one. Next time I will take the "cheap materials" over reliability and gas mileage.

I’ve got 4000 miles on the ex, and am averaging only 57 mpg because I’m driving through hills in Cal. Great low center o gravity/handling, great std safety features, nice upgraded interior/tablet/upgraded sound system. Very, very happy!

We actually went to get a Accord LX, a basic model for my son. After seeing Honda Insight Touring Model pretty much at the same price (couple of grands more), with a whole lot of new technology . Test drive was almost comparable. Honda Sensing feature with Android Play is icing on the cake.

I really like the driveability,handling, technology, comfort, styling, quality and reliability of this car. The only things that I have noticed about the car is 1) It does have a low stance. That's nice but it's hard for me to judge where the back wheels are going to go. I have the LX model and it needs blind spot monitoring system too. 3) The one speed gas engine is good because it has no transmission, but I think the car would drive with less drone(or high revs) if it had at least 2 gears in it or had a turbo. When the battery is low, the gas engine has to power the car more, at higher revs. 4) In Winter driving the car has good traction due to its low center of gravity, but it does need a lower gear to brake the car going down a steep hill. The shift paddles on the steering wheel don't brake the car enough, & the car accelerates down the snow covered hill. 5) Lastly, the mpg for city driving is much lower in the Winter months. It has gotten as low as 32 miles per gallon in city driving. This Spring, the car's city mpg has upped to over 50 again, just like last October.
