Honda's answer to the Prius

2020 Honda Insight EX 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful
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.

2021 Honda Insight Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
15 of 17 people found this review helpful
After owning several Prius models, I decided to change to a Honda Insight. This hybrid, especially in the top-of-the-line Touring model, is loaded with many features including a moonroof, GPS, many safety features, leather seats and more. Yes, these can be found on Honda's competition but at a higher price. The Insight looks like a typical sedan, so if exterior design is a concern look no further. My only negative is that the fuel economy is slightly less than the competition. This is probably due to the extra features loaded onto this vehicle. If you're looking for a hybrid loaded with extras, seriously consider the Honda Insight.

This car is the hidden gem in Honda’s lineup. Looks, feels and drives great. I routinely get 60+ MPG in the warmer months. My only complaints are: no sunglasses holder is a bummer, no seat position memory, auto wipers are basically useless, the gas motor can be loud, no spare tire and it’s low to the ground so you could hit a curb etc when parking so you should be careful. Be aware of those complaining about gas mileage.. these are folks that have ZERO clue about how to drive a hybrid. They’re driving this car like a regular gas engine car and expecting hybrid MPG. This is a hybrid automobile and has to be driven as such in order to get great MPG (coasting and/or using paddle shifters on the steering wheel to maximize regenerative braking, sensible acceleration, etc..)… 60+ for me routinely and I have the Touring trim which has bigger wheels and is supposed to get lower MPG than the EX and LX models. 2 year, 25,000 mile UPDATE: I love this car more and more every day! Still getting 60-65 MPG during the warm months.. I bought a spare tire kit, well worth it. Zero issues to report… One of the best cars I’ve ever owned.

2020 Honda Insight LX 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

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!
