Reviews SummaryTwenty years ago, the original Honda Insight was the first hybrid to go on sale in America. It had two seats and a funky teardrop shape, but amazing fuel economy. Honda’s next Insight was a Prius copycat, but smaller, cheaper, and less satisfying than the Toyota. Now, this third-generation 2019 Honda Insight adopts traditional 4-door sedan design and offers plenty of interior and trunk space. Plus, it is undeniably more attractive than the Civic on which it is based. Should consumers looking for a practical, affordable, and efficient car consider the new Insight? | |
Reviews SummaryIn the past, choosing a hybrid over its conventional counterpart meant sacrifice. Typically, hybrids cost more, offered less, and drove slowly to extract every last mile out of every last drop of fuel. Now, that’s no longer true, and the 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid might be the best example proving the case that hybrids can deliver efficiency, practicality, style, and performance at an affordable price. | |
