Question on Insight by davem7

Does anyone have familiarity with either an '05 or '06 Insight with respect to the Auto Stop function?
 
Having owned a '05 HCH and currently an '06 Honda Civic Hybrid I noticed a major improvement in the auto stop on the '06, it engages at a lower speed and can be usually be reengaged without resuming the pevious speed when crawling in traffic, also with the '06 the auto stop functions much of the time with the heater or fan running whereas the '05 did neither.
 
I'm curious as to Insight owners' experience with the auto stop.

c) because they’re environmentally friendly
  
d) to save money at the pump

I feel the same way... would really like to sit in the car and test drive it before placing a deposit. I can't believe the delaers don't stock ANY! Keep at least ONE in stock, guys! What do you have to lose?? With gas prices climbing again, someone will buy it!
 
(Of course, then there remains the problem of the ugly interior color, which I would also need to see in person to see if I could live with. You'd think they could have at least produced two interior colors (grey? black?) during a 7-year run!)
 
For example, I'd like to see first-hand just how much storage space there is behind the seats (the images on the website don't show it well). I'd like to know if the seats recline at all (from the images, there doesn't appear to be room to recline at all).
 
Seems to me they are not really interested in selling this car...

Bingo!
It is a big money loser for Honda. The only reason they keep it is to maintain the highest mileage vehicle on the EPA list. I have not seen one on a dealers lot here in San Diego for several years. Honda is not pushing the hybrids very hard. I am surprised they are supplying so many Civic hybrids. No 2006 Accord hybrids as of yet.

I have both an Insight and a Civic Hybrid. Both are great cars. The Insight has great head turning styling and gets better MPG. Try Anderson Honda in Palo Alto, CA. Contact Robert Camp for "internet sales" at great price at www.andersondirect.com. They are a high volume dealer and Mr. Camp will treat you right.

A national finance magazine is looking to interview current hybrid owners who purchased a hybrid within the past year or two. The reporter is wanting to know if you have been satisfied or not with the gas savings you’ve been receiving. Please send an e-mail to ctalatiedmunds.com no later than Saturday, June 10, 2006 by 5:00 PM PT/8:00 PM ET containing your daytime contact information and the make and model of your hybrid vehicle.
