new owner

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...

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...

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...

New 2010 Insight Owner. First a few items... 1. Everyone on this site is one of the reasons I bought an Insight and am I happy I did;) 2. My car has 36k, when I bought it 2 weeks ago. MID said 42mpg. After 2 weeks of 80% highway miles, this tank is at 55mpg on MID 3. I am setting cruise on...

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...

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...

Hi, What a great forum. I have modified performance cars for years but you guys/gals are the ultimate car modification owners. Thanks for a great collection of information. I have an 04, CVT with 52K miles arriving soon. It is stock. Original battery pack and motor. I live on the benches in...

Hello All, My name's Bill and I'm a happy new first generation Insight owner from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Hooked already! lol. I had to travel a bit far afield towards the beautiful foothills in the south of my province to purchase my red 2000 Insight, near Bragg Creek, Alberta. from...
