well, ive been working on my car for a month now. the ---- still isint working right. im tired of having an old car and having to put money into it every week for somthing else that breaks. im thinking about buying an insight. the 70mpg sounds badass and i figure it cant be much slower than a d15b2. has anyone ever driven an insight or do they have allot of problems? other than looking like a "turtle with down syndrome"

Re: insight
 

most insights only get 55 mpg highway, about the same as my D15B7 5g HB, and mines ALOT quicker than the insight!

Re: insight
 

my 4g got no where neer 55mpg. id say 35 highway and i thought the 55mpg was city driving?

Re: insight
 

A buddy of mine gets around 90 in his. But he has some kind of controler that allows him let the electric motor run all the time. I've driven it..Its comparable to an Crx Si in performance but handles alot better.

Re: insight
 

People have got over 120 mpg before in these, they've set world records.

It runs a low 18 in the quarter mile and with a few tweaks I guess they get really decent mileage, if you drive correctly that is. I'm thinking of buying one here in a couple years when I'm out of college and have the money to purchase one.

Re: insight
 

ew, go buy a metro

Re: insight
 

honestly, im starting to like the way it looks. its very very practical for a daily driver. and i dont need a status car. and i always like to see good technology being put to use.

Re: insight
 

i'd rock it.

don't electric motors have instant torque?

Re: insight
 

Just buy a TDI Jetta or Golf.They get around 50-60 mpg and look nice, handle nice and actually move pretty good with that torque.

Re: insight
 

some guys at the local auto cross are racing these.. two actualy, they put some nice sticky tires, and are very competative.

i think it's that whole instant torque and hp, something about there being no curve in the power out put per rpm.. some one correct me if i am wrong....

Just one example:

Re: insight
 

arent they really expsensive? i thought i heard onthe radio they were 32k. or maybe that was the toyota hybrid. but i heard 32k :/

you'd save money buying a big block nova for $400 and paying for gas rather than paying 30+K for a hybrid lol

Re: insight
 

but you have instant torque!!!

Re: insight
 

used ones go fore pretty cheap. in the recycler now it shows a range from $6k-26k with 10 being under 11k.
new ones go for:
Base (starting @ MSRP $19,330)
CVT (starting @ MSRP $21,530)

Re: insight
 

that ones 8k and has 40k miles on it new they are 19k

Re: insight
 

I saw an accident car one for $3000 that would make a perfect drag car, i see it as the next crx in the pro fwd classes, and all motor since its so light and aerodynamic. its already becoming fairly poplular

Re: insight
 

that's what i was thinking, cut those gay ass rear wheel skirts off and it will look like a 2005 crx

Re: insight
 

Those help with the aerodynamics though, sadly. They do look like poop.

Re: insight
 

maybe i heard the ad for the new toyoata hybrid. but whatever it was... it was 32k

Re: insight
 

i'd certainly rock one.

Re: insight
 

one of my friends has a neighbor with one. I parked my CRX next to it and it looked like a true 3rd gen CRX. The front is so similar in shape/style to my CRX.

Lets not forget that Bisi is running an Insight... aren't they the most aerodynamic Honda ever?

Re: insight
 

byu it and make the first b20vtec turbo Hybrid :P

Re: insight
 

my friends dad owns one... i've seen him bang 2nd in the fucker :D
