My second Insight.

My second Insight. Lower interest rate and good trade in on my first Insight led to my second. Great gas mileage except in cold weather. I live in Nebraska. winter months drops about 6-9 MPG. Rest of the year is 48-50.The sweet spot is flat I-80 at 70 MPH with 55-60 MPG the norm. 75 MPH it drops to 48-49 an I can't complain. I', 6'3 and I fit with no problem. big trunk. Camera in right side mirror for lane change is great as well as back up camera. The back seat is kind of cramped unless you are short. Overall as long as the keep building them I'm buying.

Don't waste your money

The driver seat is extremely uncomfortable on a long trip if it had a lumbar support or something would improve it quite a bit but it don't the fuel economy is at least 10 gallons per mile off from what they overtise by my car which I bought with just very few miles on it I like the looks of the car everything else about the car other than the uncomfortable seats is nice Honda just needs to do quite a bit to improve it

WoW gas mileage

WOW the gas mileage is incredible I can regularly get 50 mpg my lead foot wife gets 47. I’m a big person tall and wide it could be more comfortable but I’ve owned worse. The “switch” gas to battery is 100 percent seamless, just drive it like a regular car and it dies the rest. It has a ton of electro so it’s the only car I ever bought an extended warranty. Did I mention it gets 50 mpg and dies look like an ugly Prius. Honda through and Through!!

Wow, the MPG is incredible

The car averages 45-52 mpg. Love it. It is a great commuter car. The drivers seat is ridiculously comfortable. Downside is that the back seat is NOT comfortable and difficult to get in and out.

Wow! Love the car!

Speechless about this car. There’s so many words to describe my Insight! My new baby!!! So much bigger than my 2019 Toyota Yaris. Regret not going to Honda first for a car worth the monthly Payments!

Wonderful car to drive

The Insight is comfortable, feels luxurious, its safe, stylish, and just an overall pleasure to drive. The best part is how efficient it is on gas. I would highly recommend it.

Really good car

The Insight has been a great car for me. My husband has a pickup for his everyday driving but enjoys my car as well. It gets excellent gas mileage 51/52 here in the mts of NC. Very comfortable interior with plenty of legroom. I think it’s a good looking car inside and out. Tried Prius in test drive and didn’t like it nearly as much as Insight.

Best Car Ever.

This car has all I need. Very smooth in the street. Noise free all the time totally the car I want to have after my experience with the old car there is a big difference. Also if you want to save on gas I recommend this car. Best thing ever.

Smart car smartly designed

Premium look inside and out, for a budget price. Love the pep/acceleration; it is surprising for a hybrid. Back support is fine, despite the lack of lumbar support. Gear shift is clever and easy to use, despite the car having no transmission. Car is often very quiet when started (Car relies on battery, only uses gasoline engine when necessary). Lots with which can tinker (e.g., Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, dash gauge, paddle shifters and adaptive cruise control). Better than a Prius in ALL areas except for the engine: it is a tad noisy. If you drive calmly, then the car is rides quietly. If you drive hastily or up hills---especially in power mode, then you'll often hear the engine moan. Not enough to "get to you," but enough that you will know.
