Greetings,
I'm seriously considering the purchase of a new Insight with a manual transmission, but I need some reassurance before I make the final decision.
1. I'm not an expert mechanic or techno-wizard, but I seem to know more about the Insight than most of the Honda dealers I've talked to. This worries me. How difficult is it to get these things fixed by Honda dealers? Is it possible to find mechanics who can work on them when the warranty expires?
2. How do Insights handle snow. I'm aware that they come with special tires. Should one use snow tires in the winter.
3. I've read several comments on this forum about mountain driving. Is the performance of Insights comparable to that of Civics in mountains?
4. I've noticed several Insights on the lots of small Honda dealerships in upstate NY. Does this suggest that they're being unloaded because Honda is planning on discontinuing the production of the Insight?
Thanks for your help.
