...The 2011 Honda Insight offers a new affordable approach to the hybrid market with its new Base trim. |

2012 Honda Insight OverviewSource: CarGurus...The mild refresh also offers changes in the Insight's design: A sporty new grille and bumpers and blue-tinted headlight covers add some high-tech luster, but it still does look a heck of a lot like the Prius. But looking at it another way, you could say you are getting many of the features of the Prius at a lower sticker price.Inside, Honda has addressed concerns over headroom and visibility by adding 0.6 inches in the back seat and a smaller rear wiper motor; the Insight offers room for 2 adults and up to 3 kids. The front seats are comfortable, and the dashboard is big and bright. To help... |

2011 honda insight Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...The gas engine is good for 88 horsepower and 88 pound-feet of torque, while the electric motor chips in 13 hp and 58 lb-ft. Due to varying power peaks, the maximum combined output is 98 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque. At our test track, the Insight accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 10.9 seconds -- a few tenths slower than the Prius, but a substantial 2.6 seconds quicker than the glacial Civic Hybrid. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 40 mpg city/43 mpg highway and 41 mpg combined.

2011 Honda Insight Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Backseat legroom is an inch less than the Civic's and Fit's, but I figured I could tolerate it for short trips. My knees were raised, but the seat didn't feel as low as the front's. The floor isn't totally flat, like the Civic's, but the center floor hump is pretty small. There are three seat belts back there, but it's functionally a two-passenger backseat. Throw a child seat in there and I'm not sure you could add more than one adult. For what it's worth, though, the incidence of true three-passenger backseats is pretty slim in today's cars. Interior Quality Honda has been ahead of the curve... |
