Honda Insight (2009 - 2014) 1.3 IMA ES Hybrid 5d CVT Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
I bought the car to replace a company ford focus, which at 2 years was small inside, air con had failed and poor mileage for a diesel. I wanted something efficient and reliable to replace it, and bought the Honda with only 40k miles the insight was exactly what I wanted. A lot of reviews slated the car but overall, whilst it's a bit dull, it does the efficiency and reliability really well. All systems work well. I added rear sensors (which was time consuming), happy enough to own it for 4 years, and I would only replace it with a full electric or phev. Turned out to be ULEZ which was a bonus. Only slight niggle is the rear seatbelt buckles are difficult for my 7 year old to self click at times, but he seems to have the hang of it now. I have the old style CD radio which is a bit plain. Just never got around to changing the head unit.
How reliable do you find the car?
It's a Honda, never even think about it not starting. Faultless so far.
Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
Very easy to drive, maybe a bit dull, but goes if you need it to. Wish mine had cruise control however.
