Fantastic car for the money

Just retired and wanted a car to run around town in and maybe take short trips in. We were looking for great fuel mileage, low depreciation and low upkeep. After reading many reviews my wife and I decided on the Insight. We went to the Honda dealer to compare the Insight LE to the LX Accord. We liked the LX Hybrid Accord size and comfort but you got so much more for less on the Insight LE. On the drive home we received almost 60 MPG and I've probably averaged 54 MPG for both city and highway. Highway we get about 50 MPG, 55 around town which is what we use it for mostly. Freeway road noise seems high but then we have had mostly luxury car in the past. My only regret so far is that I should've bought the Touring edition with leather seats. The cloth seats are comfortable but not as easy to clean and we're used to leather. Also the grab handle on the inside of the door is made of cloth which seems like a poor decision since it would be prone to getting soiled. Our interior is tan. Still around town you can't beat this vehicle, quiet, comfortable and easy on the wallet, especially when gas prices in late March at Costco here in Florida are $1.69 for regualr.

Loaded features for money

Buy the Honda insight to serve as my commuter car. This is my venture into the hybrid market, and I am impressed with all the features you get with a car under 25K. I bought the EX trim and I am very happy with the infotainment interface and the adaptive cruise, lane assistance, and all of the safety features are great. I have driven it 1900 miles so far and the milage is tracking at the published rate of 55 city and 49 hey. I have been getting 47-49 hey during this break-in period. And my city is between 52-61 mpg. The looks great and people don't think it looks like a hybrid! I have a long commute 5 days a week so I will put between 35k- to 40K per year on this vehicle.

Honda's answer to the Prius

Well-designed car with excellent mileage. Beautiful styling and excellent handling. As reviewers point out, the engine is on the loud side when accelerating at higher speeds. Also, there is no spare tire or jack included! Although there is space for a spare tire in the trunk, plan to spend another $200 or so to buy a tire and jack kit to keep you safe.

I've driven my new LX Insight for about 2,500 miles and it does everything amazingly. Super quiet, unbelievably fuel efficient, has a sport mode that is actually fun, incredible bundle of standard tech (great sounding radio, radar cruise control, lane keeping, etc.). I didn't realize a car could be this good.

Honda appears to have done something with the 2020 model to mitigate the engine noise which reverberated throughout the cabin in the 2019 I test drove. This is an amazing car and it is so comfortable! The 2020 is probably the best hybrid vehicle on the market and I couldn't be happier with the purchase!
