WOO HOO!!! New 2011 White Insight

[InsightRider101]

Congrats on the purchase, now a general rule when you pull up to another at a stop light you must honk your horn and wave... It's been happening quite often to me since more people must be buying one now...

Haha, the horns are so quiet I'm surprised you can even get each other's attention!

Yeh I have to say something about the horn, it sucks... I was in front of some large SUV the other day, the light turned green to turn he didn't move, I honked and I'm pretty sure he couldn't hear it... Because he didn't move... They really should of put the accord horn on this thing, I've read you can do so with a modification...

@ insightRider101 I know what you are sayin, I pulled up to a stop light in muskogee and a prissy pulled up beside me, I noticed the woman in the passenger seat tapped the male drivers arm and pointed at the insight and had a puzzled look on their face, would be priceless to see their face when they got home and looked up this car and seen the msrp!!!

You do not see these very often, I have only seen 3 or 4 running around tulsa area over the past couple of weeks.

You other guys say what you want, but the Hid Lights are amazing, around here you see them ALL the time in different cars and pickups that did not come oem with them, it is NOT a hazard, maybe if you are old and have cataracts or some eye issues, but they help my night vision tremendously. But I live in more of a rural/suburban area of Tulsa Oklahoma.

Yeah this thing needs a train horn!!! HMMM maybe the next mod....

Yeah my other car has HIDs. Hell, actually I leave the Xenons on all the time (DRL) and I NEVER get flashed during the daytime when I have them on. You are definitely blinding other drivers! (Otherwise they wouldn't be flashing you, no?)

[Zwolfe]

You're being a menace to the portion of society that wields driver licenses if you're getting flashed during broad daylight.

You can do HID's in halogen enclosures with bulb capping or bulbs that already have glare shields and not be a detriment to others. Even then it's still not projectors, but it's a lot less worse.

Yes HID's are amazing. And you can light up the entire road like daylight, and still not get flashed by doing it right. What I do with HID's is pull up behind my lowered Accord and make sure the light does not get into the rear windshield and make sure the cutoff does not get above the trunk, as my Accord is lower than nearly all other cars in the entire county (probably the state, lol.)

But do what you want I don't care you're over a thousand miles away. May as well point them up.

looks like after 1k miles it is averaging mid 43, so I guess that Will be my average with my wife driving(fingers crossed) she does not drive it as easy at all....

I am averaging 49.5 on my city trips to work and 50+ on the highway. We just came back from Florida last week, 3 adults, full trunk area, and averaged 49.5. One time around here I got 52+ driving around, now it is broken in!
I know the miles vary here, but it depends on my driving and some fits of Road Rage!!
