thanks HBR!
i am questioning availability of statistically based info on battery pack longevity. have every Insight made needed IMA battery replacement? how many have needed this. was any one year worse (or better) than others. was the battery overcharge issue fixed? will my new battery pack overcharge (2001)?
this could refocus my view of ownership if all of these hybrids need IMA replacement every 7 to 10 years at $5000.00 each time. My Honda Civic CX (1993, 200,000.0 miles, 1.5L - 43.0 average MPG) has not cost near that in up-keep. does my wife face same expense with her Prius?
i will look into Honda motors directly if info is not available here.
thanks!
