  • I love my car much

    It is a beauty. Everyone who sees it likes it. I make people jealous. It is shiny and smells nice. But it’s not fast enough to beat people in races. There is not enough room to take my whole family with me so I drive alone and it has nice speakers

  • Most stylist car

    Honda insight is a futuristic car in design. It is educational on how to save fuel. It is save to drive. It is a smart combination of fuel and motor. But it is easily fully charged going downhill. Add a bigger capacity battery and a solar charger for the 12V battery with be great.
