Is a Honda Insight worth it?
I'm thinking about buying a 2002 Insight, but are they any good? I don't know anyone with a hybrid car so are they dependable. And the whole gas + electricity thing how does that work. Do I have to plug it up overnight or put extra money into it to drive it. Forgive my ignorance about the matter.
Sure why not? How many times do you get to sit behind the wheel of a brand new insight. Every insight since 1959 has lived a long accident free life. They still use the same parts in the 2014 model. Tell me, I've been in and out of millions of cars and planes but I will go four lifetimes before I step behind an insight.
From my limited research the CVT version of the 1st gen insight doesn't have lean burn but the manual transmission version does, so more MPG. The manual transmission have 3rd to 2nd gear synchro issues but is mitigated by double clutch shifting. The battery pack needs a trickle charger plugged into the wall to keep the cells equalized if you don't drive it a lot but there are aftermarket lithium battery packs I've heard that are superior to the original. Alot of the original packs are worn out by now.
Toyota does better at battery longevity than Honda but otherwise the Insight is a good choice because it's so cheap to buy on craigslist and 55+MPG
