#173 of 212 Insight rough on highway with windows open by gracej Aug 10, 2009 (5:45 pm)
So I've been pretty satisfied with my new insight, but the other day I had reason to open my rear window while on the highway and the whold car started shaking unbelievably. I tried opening the other rear window and found the same thing. The noise and shaking is such that you could not possibly drive at speed with the rear window open. It does not happen when the front windows are open.   Anyone else have this going on? What's up with it?

#174 of 212 Any Insight in Rhode Island? by dnatech Aug 15, 2009 (3:06 am)
I've been very interested in the Insight, in spite of some bad reviews on this blog. I just haven't seen ONE insight on the roads in Rhode Island. Has anyone any "insight" in this mystery ?(note that the car is available at Honda dealer websites)
#175 of 212 A reason you have not seen one by dweiser Aug 15, 2009 (3:16 am)
I own one. Not to be jocular but the reason you aren't seeing any is because NOBODY is buying them! This car has turned out to be one of Honda's biggest flops ever. Replies to this message: sr146260211 (Aug 15, 2009 4:43 am)

Replying to: dweiser (Aug 15, 2009 3:16 am) Thats not true. Gas prices are still very low and this is the main reason the sales are lower but not rock bottom either. In my area ( Florida ) the Insight in doing well, not great and to say NoBody is buying is a false statement to make and nothing to back it up.

Replying to: gracej (Aug 10, 2009 5:45 pm) This is common on many cars, including hatchbacks. Try opening both rear windows varying amounts and see if there is a setting that has minimal buffeting. One thing I do when I want a lot of fresh air but less noise and buffeting is open the front passenger window and the rear driver's side window. It creates a nice "flow-through" effect. This works on both my sedan and my two hatchbacks (one is a fast-back style like the Insight). Of course, it works best when only the driver is in the car.

Replying to: backy (Aug 15, 2009 8:00 am) Reply to 176. Honda insight sold 2295 units in July, and 9819 units since March,09 The Toyota prius sold 19173 units in july, and 59, 571 units since March. The spread is getting worse. Your theory needs a new makeover. Looks like we all insight owners bought another Edsel. You can include me in this Edsel group.

Replying to: heinzer (Jul 30, 2009 1:14 pm) The base Prius is 22,000 and the Insight EX is 21,300 I believe.That really is not much of a difference.Who would buy the LX when it does not even have cruise control? My only Prius concern from what I read, the ESC which can not be disengaged.I can see that would be a serious problem for a hybrid.My Kia has it,but I can disengage at will.

Replying to: franko1 (Aug 18, 2009 4:28 pm) How can the spread be getting worse? Compared to what? This is a brand new car,the sample is much too small to draw any conclusions.I'm sure that Honda will get any bugs out and this car will sell like hot cakes once the price of gas goes back to $4 PG and you know that it will.It's inevitable.

Replying to: franko1 (Aug 18, 2009 4:28 pm) Uhm... I don't see what your post has to do with the question that was asked and which I replied to.   I think there is an "Insight vs. Prius" discussion here someplace, though.
#182 of 212 Trade it? by dweiser Aug 19, 2009 (6:04 am)
I went to trade my 2010 Honda Insight EX with just 575 miles on an $85,000 vehicle. The sales manager told me they loved getting in Accords and Civics as they always brought more money than they expected. He made a few calls on my Insight, NO-ONE wanted it!!! They can't sell the news ones and no-one wants a used In sight he said. I would not buy this vehicle if I had it to do over again!
