#191 of 212 ECON mode vs Regular by mickeyrom Aug 22, 2009 (6:19 am)
How drastically does the gas mileage get affected by using the regular,non econ mode? Is there a big difference in the gas consumption? I was thinking of using the regular mode for city driving and the ECON for highways.Would that make sense?

Replying to: mickeyrom (Aug 22, 2009 6:19 am) Used with and without the Econ Mode and I have seen about a 3 MPG difference. I just leave the Econ off because I like the Air on at long stop lights. This of course is in Florida that needs the air on all the time in summer.

Replying to: mickeyrom (Aug 22, 2009 6:19 am) I averaged 41.8 with econ off and 45.8 with econ on. At first I thought it was a joke until I tried a tankful without using econ. However, the compressor shuts off with econ on when stopping. Also, power is less with econ on. (Not enough power either way however).
#194 of 212 Insight Blog reports by franko1 Aug 22, 2009 (4:18 pm)
The bloggers have reported that there have been 1,124 positive reports on the 2010 insight, and 207 neutral, and only 12 negative since the Detroit auto show. This should give us a warmer feeling.
#195 of 212 ONE Insight sighted in Rhode Island! by dnatech Aug 27, 2009 (12:26 pm)
The car looks great! Haven't test driven it yet but I am still very interested in this car for 2 reasons: firstly, the price is decent for an hybrid and I am not interested in a sporty car ( I commuted with a Plymouth Horizon, a Ford Escort wagon and now a Ford Focus) Please note that I also drove a 1963 Citroen 2 CV (2 cylinder car) in France! Secondly, Driving in New England , I get scared by the reports on this forum that one cannot disengage the "Vehicle Stability Control" on the Prius but it can be done on the Insight! So, when my Focus dies, I am still thinking to get the Insight.
#196 of 212 Most will disagree but I was disappointed by texastownhall Sep 03, 2009 (10:38 am)
I am in a market for an economical car. My first choice is Civc, then Mazda3. But we all know they are dime a dozen. So I checked out the Insight. Unique ideas and features. Photos and videos looked great.   I went to the car dealer last night. Check the hood, metal (good, not plastic like Smart car). Opened the door and the door felt too light. Okay, economical so I moved on. Sat in, not bad. Unique but in a good way, a very nice lay out. Then sat on the back seat. Now, keep in mind, I'm only 5'8". My head touched the ceiling. No, I don't have big set of hair, in fact, I'm practically bald. So there 's hardly a head room for someone even at my height.   Test drove. Nice handling. Power is adequate. Got to be patient when it comes to speed up to merge, etc. Road noise seemed excessive, not enough insolation.   Asked for the price. $500 off MSRP was the best they could do. Too hot they said.   I really wanted to like it because it unique looking car and it is Honda. But the look alone could not pass the quality and price in my book. So that 2009 Honda Civic LX-S is looking really good now. Saving $120 per year on gas Civic vs. Insight did not justify for me to pay extra to purchase the Insight.

I have 10K on my insight and with A/C on, in city, I'm averaging 36 mpg. I think you did your homework well. I didn't when I bought. Replies to this message: pleurotus (Sep 18, 2009 2:10 pm)

Replying to: franko1 (Sep 06, 2009 4:48 pm) I started at 41 in town I am now over 47 with the cooler weather. The MPG on the car is about 2-3 better than the real thing. I am very happy with the car, I am surprised at those who, because there are some negative comments, feel the need to get rid of theirs. I liked the style and I like the performance (well, for a hybrid) what anyone else thinks is really irrelevant as long as Honda stand by their warranty I am going to be happy. We bought ours because I wanted a hybrid and we much prefer our Honda dealership (we have 2 CRVs).
