I have found the strengths are the economy which I can pushed up to 107mpg on the M3 to Torquay in June this year. Very nippy with good handling. Surprisingly you can actually get quite a lot in the luggage space and storage compartment. I had a Smart 2 seater in 2003 and this is far better and much more stable on the road. Great climate control although you do have to work the engine a lot harder when its on. No road tax and as the ULEZ is coming to most of London next year I'm relieved my car is exempt! All aluminium so no rust and recycled plastics gives the interior that retro 60's sci fi car look. Weakness:
Weaknesses I only have found 2-the first is quite a major one, the gearboxes are weak on the manual versions of which I have one. The bearings perished and needed to be replaced in the gearbox after 63000 miles which I was not impressed as it gave me a bill of £1400 through no fault of mine but Honda using poor quality bearings. The second is that the on board computer management system for the batteries discharges the batteries when they become fully charged to prolong the life of the batteries. The computer likes to keep the battery pack at around 50% charged. The computer will discharge the batteries even when you require the electric motor assist on steep hills or overtaking on the motorway. Trying to go up a steep hill when you are relying on a 900cc engine with no electric assist carrying 2 people is no fun. Price Paid: £3000

Strength:
Great reliable, fuel efficient car. I don't think the radio sounds bad! People are so retarded.
Weakness:
It takes you ten minutes longer to get anywhere because people are always asking me about my car, including asking me to roll down my window while in motion! Cops spot the lime green color way too easily! My next car will be grey. :-( If it was 4 cylinder rather than 3, you could probably do 65 up I-80 to Vail...yeah, i wasn't doing that. lol. Some dealers know absolutely NOTHING about this car. I've gotten so much BS from the Honda service depts. They need to train their staff. Motorcars Honda in Mayfield Hts.,OH rocks tho. I have owned my 2000 honda insight nearly four years. i currently have nearly 80,000 miles on it. i have driven it from east to west coast (USA) several times, including up thru Vail and we lived briefly in the mountains of Colorado. Its a great, reliable, fuel efficient car. I've also learned to pack a lot of stuff in it with relocating for college. There was a bit of a learning curve for the high altitudes. Must have snow tires for Ohio snow belt winters (I use bridgestone blizzaks). This decreases the gas mileage to the 50s, but otherwise you would go nowhere because the car is too light to have any traction on ice and snow. Similar Products Used: Honda civic, toyota corolla |
