Hi Chris:
I mean can it really get up to the gas mileage that it says that it can?
___Yes, in spades! You will have to learn how to drive and set it up properly for its real eye popping fuel economy capability however.
How does the Insight handle?
___Very well actually. You point it and it goes there. You may want to do a quick search on the term tramlining here however.
How fast does the Insight accelerate?
___0 - 60 in ~ 10.5 seconds w/ the 5-speed.
How is the acceleration with the A/C on?
___I don’t run with the A/C on either although in my short experiences with it, it is a significant draw.
How smooth is the ride/drive?
___This is the Insight’s Achilles heel as it is a very harsh ride
How good is your gas mileage?
___Excellent!
Is the digital speedometer hard to see during the day?
___Not at all. When you shut off the headlights, the display brightens up. You can see it in full sunlight without a problem.
What made you want to buy the car other than the gas mileage?
___That was the number 1 reason although picking it up used for the price I did was nice as well. Thanks Arizona Rick!
Does the 2004 Honda Insight even come with cruise control?
___No. Using cruise control will drop your overall fuel economy although you have to drive one for quite a few miles to figure out why … You can purchase an aftermarket Rostra unit if you are dead set on one.
Has anyone ever had any problems with there Insight since they have owned it?
___Sure, just like any other car. Mine has been pretty reliable over its short 50,000 mile + life. 24,000 + of that is my own.
___As Figgy mentioned, go drive one to make sure it is right for you.
___Good Luck
