Complete Shut Down at 10k

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

I bought mine in late 2019. This car is basic. Not very comfortable, low power and a fairly rough ride. It moves around when it hits bumps and divets in the road. But more importantly, it completely shuts down when there’s an issue with the engine. Starting around 10,000 miles I have had to take it into the shop and been stranded. It is difficult to tow as the electrical shut down prevents the gears from going into neutral. They think it’s the fuel pump but there aren’t any fuel pumps available in the USA to repair the vehicles, so we haven’t proven that is the solution. Caution. This issue needs Honda’s attention before you purchase.

Great Car with a Great Value

Ryan Frodge, 06/24/2020
2020 Honda Insight Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Great acceleration. Touring seems more like a luxury car than a Honda. MPG is great. Long drives are very comfortable with heated seats, lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control. Turns well and feel very smooth. Accelerates hard up hills. Drive good and looks good. Modern Steel with a black interior is the best color.

Very reasonable price for a hybrid vehicle. EX model is the best bang for the buck. Great city mileage 55+ mpg.I’ve averaged over 60 mpg. Very happy with my purchase.

Love my new car

Really good gas mileage at almost 50mpg. I got the EX and it's a really nice car. Very spacious in the back, nice controls and displays in the front, and gorgeous to look at over all. It can handle hills just fine and other terrains, it's a very smooth ride! I'm quite happy and plan to keep this for a very long time.
