Hello! Obviously, I am new to the forum, and I have been trying to find some information on the Insight.
I am trying to get an '03 or '04 MT Insight, since those are the last years (so far) that are allowed in the California HOV lanes. If any of you are familiar with Hwy 4 (Antioch, Pittsburg, etc. area), the HOV lane is a real commodity. Add that to the fact that I drive about 80 miles round trip five days a week, and the Insight is a very logical choice to replace my (aging) '98 Honda Accord.
Through searching, I saw this post from jgessling:

So if I were to buy a 2001 Insight, and replaced the battery pack, would it now have the updated battery control logic? Or would I be better off buying 2003 or newer?I've heard that the battery control logic was changed somewhere mid 2002 production. That version is what Honda installs now when replacing battery packs. So to be safe choose 2003 or later.
