"I was getting 12 to 15 MPG when the price of gas jumped, turned in that car on a new 2010 Insight. Best move I ever made. I've gotten 55 MPG on the highway and right around 36 to 38 in the city. No complaints, it's perfect. Would buy another one in a heart beat."

"Great gas mileage: 41-45 mpg. Comfortable. Good commuting car. Nice dashboard layout. Some negatives: small storage up front, all doors don't unlock when you put it in park, back seats are not for anyone over 5'."

"I thought I would wait until I made it through an Iowa winter before I chimed in about this car. I LOVE IT! I'm consistently getting 45 mpg in town and generally above 54 mpg on the highway. Easily enough get up and go for passing and maintaining a cruising speed of 70 mph on the interstate. Only complaint: I'm having issues with the tires....had flats three times this spring and one blow out. Not sure if it's just bad luck or the initial tires were that cheap. I would buy this car again in a heart beat."

"I didn't know how much the Insight had changed when I went looking to replace my 1995 accord V6, which had been stolen. Fortunately, a salesman talked me into test driving one and I loved it. It gets great mileage, is sporty, aesthetically pleasing, and, for some reason, rare. Must admit I feel smug driving it."

"I was impressed by the fuel economy on the highway. Rated at 45 highway, at 60 miles an hour you can consistently get 50+. The big disappointment is gas mileage in the city. Rated at 40, if you have a commute full of stoplights/signs. It is TOUGH to drive above 35 mpg fuel efficiency. This is driving like a grandma. Accelerating VERY slow. If you drive like most people do in the city you will be getting 25-30 MPG. Not terrible for most cars, but a hybrid? Not very impressed. This car literally TEACHES you how to drive fuel efficiently, a very smart move by honda to make you feel like you are getting even better gas mileage because of the car alone. Going up hills is depressing in this car. All in all, pretty dissapointing in terms of performance, but can't complain about the reliablility as it starts right up, even on sub freezing temperature mornings. Go with the Chevy Cruze Eco if you are debating. I wish I had."

"I am in love with this car for almost a year now. Today I was driving on US50 at about 65 miles per hour and my milage was 55 MPG... Any questions? When I drive to work (stops, lights, etc.) - it's 38 MPG stable... Winter time makes it less 5 MPG. No kidding. Just thr right gas. My choice is V-Power from Shell. Any good one would be fine, just DO NOT use regular, that's it. Some people complain that when you stop on the light, your AC goes off. Easy: it's because it's been on AUTO. Just switch to MANUAL and you are fine. Read the manual - it helps... Car is very stable on the turns, it has some nice fitures (it's not a Lexus, so don't expect a luxury)... I would recommend it to any smart user who wants to be green and save some bucks on the gas... Oh, you pay less taxes too (it's a light green vehicle!), plus HOV is your any time... It has some sport car improvemets, so when you need it, it can be transformed to some speedy lady (I've used those manual sticks and was scared!) So, consider!"

"The Insight is a super-fun little car. It reminds me of my mom's Honda CVCC in the 70's, quick, agile and full of life. And, the most fun part is that it gets close to 50 MPG. In 13 months it still gets 47-49 MPG, and with gas here in Hawaii at $4.32 gal, that really keeps it fun! The only draw back is acceleration, but the gizmos on the dash tell you (and prompt you) to keep fast starts to a minimum."

"Bought this car after my 1998 V70 Volvo wagon died. The hatchback is great for our dog, plenty of space. The cons only come out on long trips. The air-filtration system is not good, so when I am in a traffic jam I smell a lot of pollution in the car as compared to the Volvo. Also, there is a lot of road noise when driving fast on the highway. The stereo system is tinny. I think for $10,000 more you can buy the prius and these problems will go away, but others will pop up instead (like the price tag). Pros: the seats are the most comfortable I have ever sat in. Driving is very comfortable (5'9", 150 lbs). The navigation system is nice to have at a low price point. The car drives really well, very responsive. Has been fine in the snow. I recommend a test drive, it is a fun car."

"Had doubts about buying a hybrid, but loving it. It is fun to drive the EX with the paddle shifters. Great mileage averaging about 43 mpg right now. My 16 year old son thinks it looks cool and doesn't mind driving it."
