Cons: sways badly at high speed
Pros: Easy storage via hatchback
I bought this car new. The car sways badly at times on the highway to a point of danger. Mostly at speeds above 65 mph. I have read that Honda plans to beef up or redo the inferior rear suspension.
The cars sold in Europe will get it first. It's no joke when you end up half way into the other lane without warning.
Cheap tires, I had to replaced two tires in 6000 miles.
Gas mileage is not great in city driving.

"I bought this car to be my daily driver. I wanted to save gas when it is just me in the car. It is a very nice car to drive. Very quiet. Playing the Eco game is fun as well but trying to keep it in the green all the time is impossible. Going up hill with the cruise control on you get the dark blue halo. My first tank of gas I averaged 44.3 miles per gallon. The dealership said that this would go up once the motor breaks in all the way and I believe it.

"After 3,000 miles I am still enjoying the handling and good gas mileage of my 2011 Insight. I get about 50 mpg city and 40 mpg highway; the city mileage is consistly higher than the EPA rating (40 mpg). It's not a sports car, but has much better perfomance than the other small cars that I drove. It was a little pricier than the other cars, but with gas currently at $3.45/gallon, I'll make up the difference in a few years.

"My commute to work is needless to say, very far. I'm a persistent Honda buyer not because I can't afford a luxury vehicle or Prius but because the cars I've bought from Honda have lasted me a long time with no problems. I average around 46 mpg's on this car and so far I like the ride. I have a sports car already but was looking forward for this car to drive to work. Oh, for those people who say that the insight looks like the Prius, I beg to differ.

Pros:I like everything about my Honda Insite. I was the first in my area to buy one. I have driven it 25,000 miles and have averaged 49.2 mpg for every mile driven. I drive 124 miles back and forth to work on Mountain roads in West Virginia and still get this great mileage.
Cons:Ther is nothing I dislike about this car.
Overall review:Best car for the money I have ever owned. I will save over $4000.00 this year compaired to what I spent year before last using my Silverado Pick-up.

Pros:Already put a lot of miles on this vehicle. 10.5 Gal. tank is an indication of the actual gas mileage and is an advantage, the less weight, the better mileage. The Max. Driving Range: 455.8 miles (average: 534.86 miles) very clearly shows the mileage I am getting.

"I traded in my GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT and am never looking back. I average 46.5 miles per gallon. I drive 50/50 city and highway driving. I was lucky enough to get the last one on the dealer lot. No issues with anything on this car. I absolutely love it. I got the top of the line EX model for the same price as the Prius II model (base model). The driving experience is fun with Honda's interactive color driving. Cant say enough about this car.
