Thinking of Insight
Hello, I am thinking of buying an insight. I live in a large metro city so
will basically only be driving in the city. I had heard interstate driving can make the insight sway. I am curious about the reliability of the batteries and the car overall. I had a prelude and a civic both of which I drove till they died--they were great cars! Comments? |
Re: Thinking of Insight
If you're used to Civic, and like them, you might be happier with a Civic
Hybrid. The Insight is an earlier rendition and not as advanced as the Civic. Also, it has some issues with back seat room, due to the battery being under the seat. Believe the resale value would be low, since they seem to be hard to sell. One down the street, near me, has been posted for six months, without selling. |

The space available for the back seat passengers is the same for the Civic Hybrid as the conventional Civic Sedan. What is different is the trunk space, 10.1 cubic feet for the Civic Hybrid vs. 12.9 for the regular Civic Sedan. Now, the Insight has some serious limitations on back seat space... |

I have a friend that has an Insight and she plans to trade it in on a Civic Hybrid since she said the Insight don't have enough power--especially when going up mountains or "grades". She also did not like the lack of space related to the back seat. It's for these two reasons that I think that you would like the Civic Hybrid more than you would like the Insight. Also, you should check out the Toyota Prius. Toyota made a new model of the Prius in 2004 and it was the Motor Trend car of the year for 2004. I don't know whether it is more powerful than the Civic Hybrid. You should test drive both of them. |
