Love my honda

I preferred my 2010 over my new-used 2011. It’s a great car for gas mileage and I never had any issues with my 2010 and I drove it 4-5 years.

A very reliable car

This vehicle is in very good condition and might only need to replace the left fender. Its good on fuel and hybrid systems works very well.

Dream come true

This car is more than I'd hoped for when my godson said he'd pay so that I could have a vehicle. It runs smoothly, is beautiful (love the Mediterranean blue pearl color), and has plenty of space with ample trunk space and fold down back seats in the hatchback section. It's hybrid, but not plugin, charging itself while using. I'm interested in protecting the environment but never thought I'd own a hybrid vehicle. I'm very happy!

Best car owned to date since 3 cylinder geo metro

Owned since new in 2011. Almost have 250k miles. Drove 2x yearly for 6 years to South Texas from Minnesota. Used as a daily driver for GF for work 2 hours round trip. Only issues as others have stated sensitive/faulty tire pressure sensor. Air conditioner motor rebuild (our fault ran ac in huston traffic when it was 110 out at dead stop traffic). Takata airbag recall. Burned out the battery terminal cable ends. Normal battery replacement It has dealt with the harsh winter and extreme summers and has never once failed us. The cost of the maintenance is a little high due to being CVT but the money saved in gas makes up for it. AVG 51-55 mpg have seen it as high as 73 with eco in flat states like Iowa. Only con is the seats on long drives will put pressure on your lower back/kidneys. Simple fix buy a seat pad. Was pretty sad to see them discontinue the line but as of 2019 it was brought back. During multiple services at certified honda multiple offers have been given buy people to purchase the car by both the dealership as well as private. Have yet to have to replace the electric battery. All tests as of 2019 on it are excellent condition. 10/10 would highly recommend this car.

389000 miles with almost zero issues

I've put 389000 miles on my 2011 Insight and besides tires, brakes and oil changes the only issue that's occurred is a cracked windshield. Wonderful reliability!!!

Great car for the money

Good to get around town - especially in the city. Has great gas mileage and easy handling. You can also fit a surprising amount of stuff in this hatchback given the overall size.

Great car

I've owned this car since November 2014, and it's been averaging 45 mpg since. Never had a problem, and compared to Prius' I've driven- I genuinely prefer the Insight.

Most Reliable & Gas Saving Car I've Owned

This car had met all my needs. I loved the money I saved on gas and the hybrid assistance. This car was an excellent, reliable vehicle. We drove it to Florida twice and it was an excellent ride.
