Once again, the 2005 Honda Insight comes with nothing new. Still equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), this provides smoother gear shifting automatically, along with greater fuel economy. Do you wonder why this "car of the future" demonstrates no exploration or change? Honda Insight is a hybrid (gasoline/electric) automobile. The lightweight aluminum body, with aerodynamic designing, is a 2-passengers vehicle. The biggest drawback in design is tight quarters on the interior. The lack of weight sometimes makes it difficult to drive on windy, or icy highways. Perhaps in time these issues may be corrected without having to compromise on fuel efficiency. The 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine uses electrical backup to assist with acceleration. The battery of this electrical system is well designed so it is a regenerating source of energy. Though price may vary slightly, the 2005 Honda Insight is available for around $17,650 and $18,050.
