Replying to: mike025 (Sep 02, 2005 7:15 am) I was quoted MSRP( Baytown ) with $1,000 deposit to special order a 5-speed manual. The automatics did not seel weel here and at least one car dealer has three sitting on their lot; I think one of each color. ( Gillman Houston)   However, I really don't think you can order a 2005; production has stopped. Probably could order a 2006, but the wait migth be 3-6 months.   MidCow,   P.S.- I drove a used 5-speed, but apparently it wasn't very well maintiained. When it started up the was a lot of valve clatter; either the oil was now low or it had become low in the past. I passed on buying.   P.S.S. - I think the insight is awesome in mileage, features and styling. My wife said I would not be happy with the performance though; she is usually right!

Replying to: txhondafan (Aug 17, 2005 11:52 am) One of my wheel skirts flew off at about 70mph. (unrecovered) Two things can cause this: 1) turning too sharp and running over a curb will loosen the structure. 2) Service techs do not care about the cars they work on and when rotating tires fail to tighted bolts.
#116 of 150 What happened to inventory by yerth10 Sep 30, 2005 (10:31 am)
Are they going to manufacture 2006 model Insights. Will it sell with the 2nd gen Civic Hybrid boasting 50 MPG and costing the same amount of money.
#117 of 150 Insight question for owners by merigayle Oct 04, 2005 (3:46 am)
I really want a 2006 Insight. As they are order only I cannot test drive it. Also, there are no used ones in the tristate area, my dealer searched last night. I want to know if it is too small of a car. I have a 2dr civic now and love it. I have never put anyone in the back seat, maybe threw a sweatshirt back there, but that is about it. My husband has a pickup truck, so if i get the Insight we will both have cars that cannot fit more than 2 people. (opposites attract, his car gets 12mpg on a good day!) But we have no children or dogs. The price difference between the Insight and the Civic hybrid are pretty darn close, but the civic only comes in 4 door and is really plain looking. Basically, what I want to know is if anyone feels that their Insight is too small? I need to get my order in ASAP and cannot make a decision.

#118 of 150 Does Honda intend to redesign the Insight? by civicex05 Oct 20, 2005 (11:52 am)
Does anyone know if Honda is intending to redesign the Insight, or come out with an all new hybrid-specific model? IMO, Honda needs to do this in order to compete with Toyota in the hybrid market. The current Insight (if you can even get one) has 6+ year-old technology and needs a facelift. The new Civic Hybrid makes no economic sense to me when compared to the Civic LX (only 11 mpg better in highway mileage). The Prius on the other hand is a good car, but too big for my needs.   What would make sense is an all new Insight capable of EPA mileage of at least 75 to 80 mpg. It would be the perfect commuter car. Are you listening Honda??? Replies to this message: midnightcowboy (Oct 20, 2005 12:34 pm)
#119 of 150 Have seen no future plans for new Insight model by larsb Oct 20, 2005 (11:56 am)
quote civicex05-"The new Civic Hybrid makes no economic sense to me when compared to the Civic LX (only 11 mpg better in highway mileage)."-end quote   Well, the HCH is more comparable to the auto tranny EX, considering the creature comforts, and that puts the 2006 HCH at 15 MPG better than the EX, which means you can recover the so-called 'hybrid premium" in 5-6 years.   But yes, a 75-80 MPG Insight would be nice. I have neither heard nor read anything about any new model redesign plans for the Insight, alas. Replies to this message: bamacar (Oct 20, 2005 12:18 pm) civicex05 (Oct 20, 2005 12:18 pm)

Replying to: larsb (Oct 20, 2005 11:56 am) Both 2006 Civic LX and EX autos get 40MPG on the highway. Still an 11 mpg difference either way. Most likely the real world mileage will be even less of a difference. Hard to justify by cost alone - especially if the regular civics are at invoice or so by the time the new HCH hits the streets at MSRP or above.

The HCH only gets 51 mpg highway, which is an 11 mpg difference. I compared the highway mpg numbers because the majority of my commute is freeway miles. I purchased a 2005 Civic EX earlier this year and have been extremely pleased with it, especially considering that I have been averaging about 39.5 mpg on the freeway. I would love to eventually replace my wife's Camry with a car capable of 80 mpg. I would hope something like that will be available in a few years.
