| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Honda Insight? The look. The drive. The handling. The panel design. The sporty seats. The Honda reliability. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Honda Insight? Better MPG. 2010 Honda Insight Review: Insight is back! But not quite.
What's back, and even better than before, is the obvious: the design, the performance, and the obvious Honda reputation. Four doors most definitely add to the benefits.
What's not back is the fuel economy. And it's not even as good as the new Prius. Whatever happened to the original Honda's innovation? Honda was the first to market a hybrid (as seen in John Travolta's "Be Cool"). Honda just dropped the ball, and let Toyota take the lead on hybrid technology. I expected much more from Honda.
My next car is, I hope, the Clarity, if Honda doesn't miserably fumble on fuel cell, like they did on hybrid. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Honda Insight? Exterior - Very smooth, did notice some "orange peel on panel surfaces. Performance - Needs to have the engine and drive train improved. Not as good as my traded in 06 Honda civic hybrid. Battery too small. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Honda Insight? See above. Also Why is there NO Engine water temperature on Dash???? At 75 mph by the time the alarm light goes on you may have lost the eng. Why do you NOT have the radio controls on the steering wheel? 2010 Honda Insight Review: I do not get very good gas mileage. Trip to Yuma and return, best estimate 38.4 mph. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Honda Insight? Love the MPG. Video game like driving makes you relearn a "Greener Way" to drive. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Honda Insight? Noisy when pushed. Paddle shifter is redundant. Nav.Opt. too much clams. 2010 Honda Insight Review: Perhaps 1.5 L for 2011. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Honda Insight? IT LOOKS GREAT ON THE OUTSIDE, SPORTIER THAN THE PRIUS AND I GET REALLY GOOD GAS MILEAGE-ABOUT 45 MPG. ALSO, I LOVE THE HATCHBACK-HAS PLENTY OF ROOM. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Honda Insight? I AGREE THAT IT IS A BIT NOISY WHEN ACCELERATING TO GO UP HILLS AND I WISH IT WOULD HAVE HAD THE OPTION FOR A SUNROOF. 2010 Honda Insight Review: I HAVE HAD MY INSIGHT SINCE APRIL AND SO FAR AM PRETTY HAPPY WITH IT. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Honda Insight? The seats are very comfortable.. The DASH IS WAY BETTER THAN TOYOTA PRIUS. The Prius's dash is too small, too far away from the driver and the driver has to look to 30 degrees to an angle to see the gages, which at high speeds can result in death. I also like the console in the insight, which is 100% better than the stupid looking empty arch design in Toyota Prius, which is the ugliest, I have ever seen. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Honda Insight? You shouldn't have to pay $1400 to $1800.00 for Cruise Control. I would like to see it included in next year's base model. Needs to have a way BIGGER BATTERY. Get rid of the CVT trans and use what Prius uses, planetary gearing. Too much engine and transmission belt drive noise when going up hill. 2010 Honda Insight Review: Not a bad car. I would have bought one if it were not for the cruise control costing $1800.00 more than the base model. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Honda Insight? Great mileage- getting same highway mpg at 55-60 mph as I do at 65-70. Approx 52 mpg. Short in-town trips I'm getting 42 mpg. Have owned since early June and have averaged 48.6 mpg combined over 523 miles.
For me, plenty of power to accelerate from 55 to 70 in order to pass on highway quickly or at on-ramp. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Honda Insight? Slight blind spots on both left and right curves (not 90 degree turns). 2010 Honda Insight Review: So far, so good, but it's too early for an honest assessment. |

 Daniel Davids | Performance: |  | Exterior: |  | Interior: |  | Overall: |  | | Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor |
| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Honda Insight? Exterior styling is a better refinement of the basic Prius design than Toyota's done with their 2010 upgrade. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Honda Insight? It desperately needs a better transmission. Toyota's power-split device puts the Honda to shame. Hard acceleration and hill climbs cause the Insight's internal combustion engine to really wind up and make a lot of noise (compared to the Prius). 2010 Honda Insight Review: Great car. It's close enough in fuel economy to the Prius so that buyers can choose either the Honda or the Toyota based on personal preferences for styling, interior comfort, color, and brand loyalty. It's nice to finally have a worthy alternative to the Prius. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Honda Insight? It's very fun to drive.
Handling is excellent.
It has good value for features provided.
The hatchback is practical and provides a good amount of storage.
Rear seat fold to provide additional cargo space.
The climate control feature is nice for this price range.
The menus that provide info on your driving habit are helpful and keep you informed of how you are doing.
The speedometer really helps you drive in a more green way by glowing green when you do well and moving towards blue in background when you are not doing as well.
All the gauges are helpful while not being distracting. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Honda Insight? The back seat could have additional space and cabin height as it will be a tight squeeze for a lot of adults. |
