Insight drives great, looks cool, reliable, and ROOMY! Wonderful hatchback. 2013 Honda Insight

Pros

  • Fuel Economy

    i take highways to work pretty much every day, when i really try, i can get 42mpg. when i don't really think about it and drive regularly, i get about 37mpg. still great!

  • Interior Space

    hatchbacks forever! i'm a musician so i keep the backseats down basically all the time. i can fit so much crap in this car it's ridiculous. but when a tall person sits in the backseat, their head can touch the ceiling! but up front everything is perfect, PLENTY of space.

Cons

  • Power

    even when i slam the gas down it doesn't accelerate quickly, my old 4 cylinder accord crushes this car in that aspect. BUT the whole point of the car is to save gas so i leave it in ECON mode which pretty much asks your engine to calm down a bit.

I love my little red car! 2013 Honda Insight

Pros

  • Fuel Economy

    40mpg

  • Styling

    It has beautiful lines, a beautiful profile.

Cons

  • Dashboard

    All controls are below the top rim of the steering wheel except the speedometer, which is above and is sometimes obscured by the steering wheel.

  • Braking

    Braking was selected by mistake; there are no other cons.

    Would recommend to a friend

    Pros

    • Fuel Economy

      I get 48mpg on the highway, and 42mpg in the city

    • Ride and Handling

      Easy to drive on mountain roads

    • Reliability

      I've driven all across California and have not had an issue

    Cons

    • Cabin Noise

      Loud on non smooth roads

    • Power

      Can feel underpowered at times, not a fast car

    • Styling

      Gets mistaken for a Prius or volt all the time

    Honda Insight is a 3-star car, and that's fine! 2013 Honda Insight

    Pros

    • Fuel Economy

      Can cruise in some situations up to 75MPG. Have had 43MPG overall (70MPH freeway, hill driving).

    • Cost to Maintain

      It's a Honda. Should just need oil and CVT fluid.

    • Cargo Space

      Hybrid drivetrain but still has a big cargo area.

    Cons

    • Ride and Handling

      Car is built to a price point. It shows in the ride quality. It's crashy.

    • Power

      It's a 1.3L hybrid. About 100hp, with a CVT. Doesn't want to rev above 4,000 RPM. Don't be in a hurry.

    • Reliability

      Some units have oil consumption issues. Honda is reportedly covering this, if it arises, for 8 years from original purchase.
