2000 Honda Insight review from North America
"High tech car that'll save you money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
This car is a hybrid vehicle that uses both gas and electric. The electric motor kicks in when you need that extra boost sort of like a turbo. Batteries need no recharging and I always get great compliments on how this car looks. Very high tech. I especially love the digital dash and the great gas mileage. Over hilly terrain and relatively short commute, I'm getting 56 MPG. For longer distances and flatter terrain this number can easily go up above 70.
