honda insight

[etlsport]

anyone ever driven one? been looking into a fuel efficient sibling for the vx to help keep miles on the vx down... insights are definitely head turners like the vx.. although not nearly as cool looking imho.. they get gawked at for the wrong reasons.. but at 70+mpg its looking like a very good option

any thoughts?

If you're looking at used, realize that the batteries may need to be replaced and they aren't cheap.

Go to cardomain.com and search for them. Some owners have tricked them out to get more hp and if I remember correctly over 100mpg.

My friends family owns one and they are ok, for its main use (save gas)

I think the Insight has been discontinued for a few years and used may be your only option. It may have been replaced by this:

yea ive been looking used.. from what i have heard most of the batteries have a 150k mile warranty on them, ones i have been looking at have between 55-120k on them.. usual asking price is between 6-11k

From the blogs I've been reading, the Toyota Prius is light years ahead in Hybred Tech, Enough so that Honda has admited to going back to the drawing board, Honda's models cost more too.

OK here is what someone shed light to me. Ya you may save more in gas and feel great but @ what expense? Are you actuallys aving money? I mean sure your saving at the pump but then you have to look @ car payment plus insurence and then you have that nasty maintence payment as well. Ya VX sucks in gas but once its paid off then I am A ok plus if I wanted to save gas that is what my motorcycle is for... Sorry got off subject some what...



Seriously tho is you VX paid off? Also sure kepe miles down but hey you can always replace them which is much cheaper.


So in ending with my last word so no one post after me

Your looking @ savings 5-6 years down the road or when ever you pay the new eco car off.
