A local honda mechanic told me that insights have little power. He has heard of people having to turn there ac off to get a good starting speed. Not for sure if i want to buy one or not.??????
mojoe said:Thanks for all the tips, I guess the mechanic here in the area doesn't see many Insights, making comments like the insights are slow. I'm not a speed demon just like to stay stady in traffic. Sorry to stir the pot, I'm still looking and interested in buying a insight. Another question, whats the ride like on the early insights, is it simi smooth or do you feel alot of bumps like an old sports car??? Thanks Joe

thats the best way to put it
i also agree about the handling...
personally i am very happy with the ride comfort, even w/ 40 psi in the tires...and its very light and "jumpy" on the steering, honestly almost too much, its tough to drive with just one hand...and you CANNOT space out, or you will go off the road easily...but i certainly dont mind if it means i can steer it easily
plus, it is very fast, considering the gas mileage...yes, the gas engine only has 70hp, but the electric motor is very powerful, and i have never had a problem with getting it up to highway speed on any normal sized entrance ramp
well, i wasn't taking that into consideration... :lol:james said:I do, but that's only because of the people ahead of me, who seem to think that you should get on the freeway, _then_ accelerate in the travel lane :-(
I had an STI too!Dougie said:I had a Subaru STi for a while and got rid of it after looking down one day and seeing 100 MPH on the speedometer
