  1. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    Hello, this is my first discussion post in this forum. I'm not only new to driving an Insight, but also mostly new to driving in general. I'm 17, and I've had my license for 8 or 9 months. Before this, I had a civic, great car but unfortunately got totaled in an accident. I'm loving my Insight...
  2. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    please be patient, this is my first post here I’d like you to meet this abused beauty. It’s a manual 2000 and it’s seen better days. Long story short, past owner ran into a ditch. Rock smashed oil pan into a million pieces. Thank god he hasn’t tried to crank it up since then. Haven’t picked it...
  3. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Last year I purchased a 2000 Honda Insight (manual). It's been a continuous set of lessons and between this forum and YouTube I've learned a lot about this car and how to maintenance it. It came to me with 201,000 miles on it and now has 211,000. The only issues I've encountered so far are a...
  4. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    Hello friends! I wanted to talk about the "adventure" I have had trying to buy a gen 1. I have wanted a gen one for quite awhile, but having a car has always been just out of reach. Now that I have begun my working career I can afford to buy an Insight. But for the last 9 months or so every...
  5. Troubleshooting and Problems
    Hey, I’m sorry if this is the wrong category, but recently I bought a 2010 Honda Insight. I’ve had it for about three months. Last month, my car kept telling me to tighten my gas cap even though it was on tight and the little door was closed. I tried retightening while the car was on, but it...
  6. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    Hello IC community, I became a 1st Gen Insight owner over the weekend and am in love! I picked up this 200k Monte Carlo Blue AT/CVT after a decent amount of self research, talking with the owner about the history of it, and going over a large list of maintenance records performed; including the...
  7. Modifications and Technical Discussions
    Hi: Brand new 2013 Honda Insight EX Hatchback owner! I financed this for around 10-11k with 52k miles. I wanted to ask if there were any mods that are recommended including body kits, spoilers, etc. to increase mpg. I dove into a rabbit hole looking for window tints (I ended up getting 3M...
  8. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    Figured I would start a little Insight blog thing, since this is my first one. Always been a big fan of MPG "high scoring". Use to own a few efficient vehicles: -2004 Peugeot 206 "Pug-A-Roni" (44.0 LMPG) before getting sideswiped. Not even sure how it got in the USA legally, but it had a clean...
  9. Modifications and Technical Issues
    I searched the first 3 pages of search results and could not find the information I was looking for, so I hope this isn't a redundant question. I bought a beautiful blue 2001 5MT over the weekend and have been studying this site for a week solid. I learned a lot and feel that the responses I...
  10. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I'm on my way to pick up an '01 with ~200k miles with an unknown maintenance history. I bought it at a private auction, sight unseen except for pictures, and got a fantastic deal. I'm completely expecting the battery pack to be trashed, but I am hopeful that it might be ok. The car is...

    I am getting an 2010 EX, 11k miles next week-my first. I would like to know how to place/mount my iPhone to the dash. Any other newby info you want to share is welcome

    Hi everyone I am PunkSmurph and I now own an Insight. I picked it up last night from a Subaru Dealer, it was used and in mint condition with only 36K miles on it. The car is fully loaded and I have the Navi. My last vehicle was a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, if you don't know what it is...

  14. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    Didn't find an introductions area so I thought I'd say hello here Just got a 2001 MT insight. Very satisfied so far, for a car that is 11 years old. Drove it for a week so far and got 53 MPG and working on getting better this week. The car is pretty solid but has some of the normal wear...
  15. MPG Issues
    I've spent a lot of times pouring over all of these threads on driving techniques to learn as much as I can before posting any kind of ignorant or exhausted questions. Now that I've done my homework I'm hoping for feedback as to why I am stuck at 58mpg. I think I know the factors but would...
