Honda Insight Delivers Fun & Savings
Source: Edmunds

...I really like my Honda Insight EX in polished metal.
I am getting better than 40 MPG and what I really like it how well it drives.
I like the hatch feature and the styling. The Insight is just sharp and it works nicely.
I like the ECO feature - when you stop in traffic it just stops!
I tried the Prius but found the Insight to just be more fun. Also - the Insight EX is a much better value. I am very pleased with my choice...

Good Buy

..."This car fuel effieincy is great. Comfort is good for value of car. Like this car a lot. Easy parking also."...

#3
Fun Fun Fun
Source: Cars.com

..."The Insight is a super-fun little car. It reminds me of my mom's Honda CVCC in the 70's, quick, agile and full of life.
And, the most fun part is that it gets close to 50 MPG.
In 13 months it still gets 47-49 MPG, and with gas here in Hawaii at $4.32 gal, that really keeps it fun!
The only draw back is acceleration, but the gizmos on the dash tell you (and prompt you) to keep fast starts to a minimum."...

Great Value!!! Great Car!!!
Source: Cars.com

...I was lucky enough to get the last one on the dealer lot. No issues with anything on this car. I absolutely love it. I got the top of the line EX model for the same price as the Prius II model (base model). The driving experience is fun with Honda's interactive color driving. Cant say enough about this car. I have always wanted a hybrid, and I am glad I chose this one. I looked at the Prius, and the Hyundai Elantra. The best bang for the buck is the Honda. Great name, and a great car. I am not in any way working for Honda I just am that impressed with this car. Thanks Mike."...

Best Buy I ever made
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I love my Insight! Great style, very aerodynamic.
I do primarily start-and-stop city driving and mileage is still great.
On the road I can get 50+ mpg. Can't beat that. Cons: Can't think of a thing. Overall: Super buy. Highly recommend this car - comfortable, economical and stylish. Who could ask for more?...

Honda Insight Base

...Fun car for the money, yeah you won't win any races with it but that is not what it was designed for.
If you are looking for a car that is reasonably fun to drive and great on gas if you drive it right check out the Insight.
You can do better on mileage with the Prius but you will also pay more for it and in my opinion the Honda drives and handles much better.
Try them both and decide for yourself. Excellent value for a hybrid! Loving it so far!...

Nice little commuter
Source: Cars.com

..."I fail to see why they can’t design an automobile in 2011 that mirrors the Insight line of 2001 thru 2006 in efficiency.This is old technology beats any thing out there,
If you can find one with low miles, get it.I use it for too and from work 82 miles a day, over mountians averages 57.8 mpg"...

a well kept secret

..."All show, no talk - delivers economy while hunkering down with a sports car feel with over 110,000 miles. A well kept secret."...

Amazing 53.6 MPG so far
Source: Cars.com

..."Amazig blue beauty. dont let the window sticker fool
you into believing it gets 40/43 because we have 7000 miles in the books and so far first 5000 miles at 52.2 and now last 2000 miles it just gets better at 56.9...

Love my Insight but not unconditionally!
Source: Edmunds

...My driving is probably 90% city and, of that, 95% is flat terrain. The only regular incline is the first 50' of my condo's parking garage entrance. My mpg pales in comparison to others and averages a little under 35. However, my previous car averaged about 15 so I feel I'm still way ahead of the game! Yes, the "get up 'n go" got up and went but that's part of the hybrid/higher mpg experience. I'm not picky about handling as long as the car feels safe and, for me, the Insight does. I'll re-up at the end of my lease!...
