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 SummaryI love spikes in gas prices. Seriously. My Southern California neighborhood gets quiet because all the people with loud motorcycles and fast muscle cars and giant trucks with oversized mud tires stop driving like they’ve got something to prove. When gas prices begin to climb, they'd all be well-served by trading in their gas-guzzlers for a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. When it whirs about in electric vehicle mode, the Ioniq even sounds cool. My second-grader said so. | |
