I now have 100k miles on my 2001 Insight. I purchased the car in Feb 2001. Thus far the problems I have experienced are:
1) Ticking /tapping in cold engine(dealer suggested replacing engine at 91K). I just turned the radio up a notch until the engine gets warm and every things seems fine thus far. Considering going to higher wt oil 5-30w synthetic
2) Low beam lights went out at 94K.
3) Battery recals occuring about twice a week( 300-400miles of driving)
Good Points
1) Still getting 60mpg+
2) not burning oil
3) tires lasted 90K
4) no break downs ( knock on wood)
5) still nice ride quality
6) still fun to drive
7) car finish still looks like new(although it only gets a bath about once a month or two)
8) good in snow up to 4 inches
9) clutch still feels good
