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.

Best Car I have Ever Owned

The only negative issue is it does get loud when hard acceleration is used. Other that that greta car and best I've ever owned in 40 years. After 3 moths and 4500 miles I am up to 51.4 MPG. That is over 510 miles on a 10 gallon full tank. I can drive from Detroit to Atlanta on less than $35.00. Huge amount of room and far superior to my 2010 Insight which has 249,000 miles and only 1 repair which cost me $48.00 and 30 minutes to install. I am hoping and assuming the 2019 will have the same reliability and dependency. Best deal ever and I am ready for the next oil crisis . At 50 plus MPG the car will pay for itself in the long run.

The Insight has great new styling while getting better mpg than Prius! Handles great, quiet, and have got over 80mpg in town. Recent road 250 mile trip, going 65-75 miles per hour was able to achieve 58.4mpg. This car pays for itself in savings, and it’s fun to drive.

I have been having Honda's for years know. I traded me 2016 Honda Civic EX for the Insight LX model. I was told that the frame of the insight is of the Civic line. The car feels more well built. really smooth compared to the civic. I only have less than 800 miles and im currently getting 42-43 mpg and going up. Being a Honda I know that I have the piece of mind that I will have a good reliable car. Good resale value and most importantly very good gas mileage. As expected, I already hear a rattle on the glove box which does get annoying. But I'm aware that Honda vehicles always use cheap plastics. Though annoying... I know that the bigger picture is that this car I wont have to worry that it will leave stuck or worry about sudden repairs.

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.
