2019 Honda Insight Consumer Reviews

I genuinely like this car because I have had no major issues for 3 years. Unfortunately, I need to upgrade to a bigger car because I have 2 dogs and you can't fit much in it. I definitely think it is a good choice for reliability but don't think the seats are very comfortable on long rides.

My car was a casualty of a flash flood and wound up totaled. I have yet to find a vehicle that compares with the 2019 Insight in terms of price to value ratio. I commuted through terrain ranging from plains to mountains, heavy traffic (most of the time) and, depending on the time of year, from cool weather to blazing hot. In other words, my Insight went through its paces and passed with flying colors. Was it the speediest? No. Was it the cushiest? No. However, for dollar to value, it was outstanding and mileage was fantastic. I averaged (with 3 different drivers) *at least* 48 mpg combined highway/city. Maintenance costs were negligible (especially compared with non-hybrid cars), tech was good, safety features were very good (though I admit to occasional frustration with the sometimes overly-aggressive lane-keep assist), and insurance rates were truly reasonable. Since my car was totaled by insurance, I have yet to find a vehicle I want with a decent price to value ratio for me. I thought I had one with Toyota but they are imposing “market adjustments” that are little more than ways to boost the price rather than actual price/value (i.e. forced profit, regardless of value), Honda is lacking in their hybrid line-up and I’m leery of Hyundai and Kia battery issues. In the end, my point is that this was an EXCELLENT car and I wish Honda still had it in its lineup. When something is not broken, don’t fix it and keep offering it to the public. There is value in that for both Honda and the consumer public.

I've been Honda loyal since I started driving at 16, and every Honda I've owned has beat my expectations...except this one. I purchased the Touring trim back in January and I have mixed feelings on the car. It drives well, has a higher HP than most hybrid sedans, improved backup camera, and Honda Sensing makes me feel safer on the highway. Unfortunately, it suffers from minor electrical issues that make it not worth the cost to fix, but enough to be maddening over time. The infotainment system regularly disconnects from Bluetooth. There's about a 1 in 3 chance it will connect on the first try. The car throws an error that the key fob battery is low even though I replaced the battery in both fobs just a few months ago (this error appears intermittently). The autolocking features also only work intermittently. These issues were never a problem in my 2016 Honda Civic (which I still have) and seem to be widespread as I've read several forum posts of Insight owners encountering the same issues. Honda appears to be slow in addressing these issues since they aren't a safety concern. I'm hoping that Honda won't repeat these mistakes in the Civic Hybrid.

I can't say enough good about the Honda Insight. 50-60 miles to the gallon as advertised. Have had no problems in 3 years of driving. Love everything about this car. The seat is great for my back. Many car seats aren't. It's reliable, easy to drive. On highway and around town. Yes, a little noisy sometimes going up a hill. Doesn't bother me. I have the radio playing. Why pay for an electric car when you can get 50-60 Mpg for $25,000?! And with the price of gas? So glad I bought an insight.

Great overall car. In the warmer months you can expect to get about 45 to even up to 60 mpg if you do a lot of city driving. The colder months I average around 38-43 mpg. Normal design for a hybrid and interior is pretty comfortable considering the size, I am 5'11" and am comfortable. It's easy to work on if need be and is a great car. Engine can be noisy at high revs, but so are v10s and 12s so.

This is an excellent vehicle overall - I've owned it for 9 months and put 10,000 miles on it, averaging 47.7 mpg during that time. I regularly get 60-70mpg on my drive to and from work during the warmer months of the year. The Insight is much cheaper and more efficient than a hybrid Accord. It looks great and is fun to drive, the technology is easy to use and the wheel/button control on the steering wheel makes the electronic display very easy to navigate while driving. I love having this vehicle and can guarantee the average consumer looking for a hybrid that won't break the bank will enjoy it. My complaints are minor: 1. the rain-sensing windshield wipers fluctuate inconsistently and often give the driver little to no control over their speed 2. after turning off the vehicle, the display automatically shows an environmental score. Mine always shows me 5 leaves out of 5 leaves (they're literally little green leaves) but I have no idea what this actually means. It would be nice to be shown some actual metrics instead of having to manually navigate to a sub-menu to show trip stats before turning the engine off 3. the voice directions of the car's GPS (available with the navigation package) can be turned to a volume of 0 but music is still interrupted as if the voice were speaking 4. the remote start has kind of a short range Don't let these take away from an otherwise excellent vehicle. I'm not sure why I don't see more of these on the road.

A perfect car I really like it. Very reliable and safe car with a lot of features. Beautiful exterior and interior design and the gas mileage is just great

I purchased my new 2021 Honda EX Sedan during late May 2021. I paid about $27,500 with tax and tag out the door and got very low interest financing from Honda. I have already driven it over 12,500 miles in about 7 months. It is dependable and I normally get over 45 mpg per trip, sometimes over 50 mpg per trip. It really depends on how fast you drive it. If I drive it about 80 mpg on the Interstate, I get lower MPG, closer to 40 mpg or less sometimes. If I drive it on rural roads, averaging about 45 to 50 miles per hour, I can sometimes average about 60 mpg on those trips. It likes being driven about 45 to 50 mph. That is its zone. The gas tank only holds about 8 gallons of gas. However, that can be a 400 miles range depending on how fast you drive it. The Honda sensing stuff is helpful too. It avoids helps to avoid accidents when changing lanes, etc. The high beams can also be set to automatically switch back and forth from high to low beams when you are driving. The exterior paint has already developed about 5 chips on the back. I should have the dealership check that out.
