Davids 2010 Honda Insight Review

My personal review of the 2010 Honda Insight, as an owner of the vehicle. I made this with my cheap digital camera, so give me a break on some of the realIy shakey scenes. It is harder to hold a tiny camera still in a moving car than one might think. I also make some comparisons with the 2009 Toyota Prius, some people have complained it should have been compared to the 2010 model. However, the 2010 Prius was not available for several months after I purchased my Insight and so I had no way to compare.

Hi there, are you still driving the Honda Insight and are you happy with it? thanks for sharing ;-) maybe you can do a video with tips and tricks you learned (in case you still have it) Thanks

@DirkME1022 - No, I drive a Nissan Leaf now. But the Insight was a good car.

only 40 mpg ? it says 60 mpg on the website

[adric22]

@Lucasius19 - Not sure what website you are looking at. Honda's website says 43 mpg.

@Lucasius19 - Miles per gallon is measured differently in the U.K and the USA.

That was a really cool review. My boss got one of these recently but the engine didn't turn off while the car was stationary. had me wondering whether they actually had an EV-only mode. :)

@adric22 How happy are you with your Leaf?

Excellent review! Thanks.

Prius is gay.

And they screwed up the Insight, when they changed the body. It looks like all the other Bug looking cars. Stupid.

@adric22 Wow, I envy you in the best way possible ;-) I live in Canada in the prairies and when I drive to the City it is 130 Kilometre one-way. I hope to move house next year into a better area but we have no charging stations here whatsoever, a Hybrid is still the only option and the Insight seems to be quite a good choice. Thanks for sharing and lots of fun with your Nissan Leaf (any videos to come?)

@lotussheath in but ive been in one and they are kinda cozy but i like it or i wana get a civic

@12gloom i think they say it cant switch to full electric mode since the EMA system is constantly connected to the normal engine so the engine would also have to drive the rpm on the engine too
