2003 Honda Insight Preview summaryImage

Again, there is nothing new for the 2003 Honda Insight. As a hybrid, it may be possible that little change will be made until these vehicles become a larger part of the market.

Most people use the Insight as a commuter vehicle and rave about the gas mileage as well as power to swing in and out of traffic. A few people have taken longer journeys and are quite satisfied with the ride. The cab is still kind of tight, and there is limited space for storage. At the same time, many people enjoy the technological aspect and ecological benefits from this car.

The interior layout of this two-seater is very well designed; unfortunately the sleek design and effort to save space and weight make it a bit cramped with two full-size people. People who own this car really enjoy driving it - as well as being seen driving it. Also, the continuously variable transmission (CVT) is considered one of the more advanced aspects of the Insight.

Priced at around $15,000, in the long run it is no doubt a good investment. We will all learn over the long haul.

Better MPG than a Prius, its not a Prius (actually came before them), and it's not like anything else on the road. This car is a blast to drive, and in normal driving, isn't much different than your normal car. The design of this car is superb. Honda cut no corners designing this car. You get an all aluminum body/frame to save weight, and an extremely low coefficient of drag to increase gas mileage to name a few things. This car screams efficiency, and you'll appreciate this when you have to fill it up. I love this car, would never get rid of it. The only thin that would be better is a long range full electric vehicle, which could be years away!Jul 14, 2010
