Greetings Insight owners, I'm considering purchasing a pre-owned Insight and had a couple of questions. I searched here and read for a couple of days and could not find the answers.

1) How many miles have you owners been able to put on an Insight before the batteries died? Or how many miles have you been able to drive past the warranty with no problems? I know there is an 8 year 80k warranty.

2) Any other troubles? I saw posts about the IMA that appeared to be a recall part in 00 to 02 and should be under warranty.

My situation is I drive about 40K per year so I will be out of warranty on a used vehicle quick. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Mike, Jacksonville, Florida

Thanks for the advice. So are you guys saying starting in 03 the issues with those parts are resolved?

Also I'm still curious if anyone has gotten into the 200,000 mile range or higher and what kind of work they have had to do. I had a 89 Honda CRX for 11 years that went to 283,000 before having some sort of internal engine problem. It didn't have any airbag so I sold it as is but it was one heck of a solid car. Thanks Mike.
