Hi folks,
Well we got our insight saturday, well actually my wife did as I couldn't get back in the country on time (US).
So I drove it for the first time tonight, and I must say I'm very impressed, its my first hybrid but probably won't be our last.
One thing I am slightly wondering (worried?) about is the engine, I expected a typical super quiet and smooth Honda unit, but it seems a little rough, a bit more like a diesel than a gas engine, when you rev it it kind of growls a bit and doesn't seem that smooth, is this normal??? I think the fella that owned it before me didn't used to rev it much over 3-3500 RPM, is this ok? or too low?
I could take it to my local Honda dealer here as its still under warrantee, but they have never seen an Insight before (I asked) so they would have no idea if the engine is ok or not...
Chris
P.S. Whats the torque setting for the sump plug? (also where can I buy a new sump plug sealing ring? I want to change the oil this weekend).
