Used 2000 Honda Insight for Sale near South Carolina
The 2000 Honda Insight is the first hybrid (gasoline/electric) automobile in North America. With fantastic fuel economy, this is certainly technology to take seriously.
The engine that runs this machine is a 1.0-liter, three-cylinder motor with the electrical backup used to assist acceleration. The battery of this electrical system is well designed so it is a regenerating source of energy. The biggest drawback is that under conditions of constant acceleration, the battery will drain.
The Insight comes with a specially designed 5-speed manual transmission for maximizing fuel efficiency. In combination with an aerodynamic exterior design, this car is capable of going up to 70 miles on one gallon of gasoline.
To purchase a 2000 Insight that is in good condition will cost between $10,000 and $11,300. There are still improvements that need to be addressed in order to provide better stabilization on windy or bumpy roads. Also, in the process of building a lightweight vehicle, the cab design is rather crowded.
4.6 Overall rating
(12 reviews)There is a lot of road noise on the freeway. It has an excellent turning radius. The gas mileage is amazing! The batteries that were originally put in go dead, but Honda replaces them under warranty. The interior is skimpy to save on the weight, but not having all the extra stuff is nice. The outside takes some getting used to with the wheel skirts, but I have come to like it. Overall it is a joy to drive and I look forward to getting every time.
With the boost from the electric motor, the three cylinder engine performs more like a powerful four cylinder engine.
I get around 65mpg on average. Its still fun and even a little sporty. Cute looks and easy maitenence
Aluminum and plastic this car only weighs 1600 lbs., I tow it behind my RV and don't know it's there, Comfortable for long distances, if the sun goes down and the gas stations all close, so what? Just keep driving until dawn, great car for crossing the country quickly and cheaply. When the batteries are not acting up it drives VERY well, sporty, and quiet. I still have YEARS of warranty on the batteries, likely I will never need to pay for any repairs on them, and the dealer repaired them after showing the issue of recalibration to them.
It would be better if the dealer actually had one. This generation Insight is the best example of hybrid technology that was available from a regular auto manufacturer. Unfortunately, it was dropped by Honda in favor of a system more like the relatively inefficient Toyota Prius. If you can find one, buy it!
