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? | |
