This hybrid vehicle gets great gas mileage and has been very reliable.
My car is a hybrid and I really like the fantastic gas mileage. The interior color is lighter than I wanted but a darker version wasn't available when I bought the car. The cargo capacity is great.

Family friendly and economically ideal.
I absolutely love my Honda insight! The gas mileage is amazing and it saves so much money each month in gas alone. When the car comes to a stop, the engine shuts off until the break is released and automatically starts again to save on fuel as well. I definitely recommend.

Fuel efficient family car.
Ac broke, only issues in all of ownership. It is not the most sporty or comfortable but it gets the job done. Bought it for cross country trip and kept it since. Fits whole family well but not too much extra. Bought a cargo container for roof when going on long trips.

That it is simple nothing unique.
Love the mileage rate and cost of ownership, however, there are times when I need a bigger vehicle. Traveling is good but sometimes I feel cramped if I have to drive for more than two days.

Great mileage for commuters
I regularly get 40+ miles per gallon with my vehicle which makes a difference when you commute each day!

Honda: a name you can trust
When we set out on our vehicle hunt we quickly narrowed our search down to hybrid vehicles with excellent mpg ratings. After careful deliberation we decided on our Honda Insight. We wanted a name we were familiar with- Honda. Our previous accord served us well for years, so we knew we'd be able to count on it. Our insight has, thank god, been running smoothly with no major service or repair issues since we've purchased it. It's pretty spacious considering it's an economy car, is aesthetically pleasing, and lives up to its mpg rating. The only issue we've experienced was due to The airbag recall. Although that could have been a major issue- I feel like Honda handled it very well. We were immediately notified and placed on a list for repair; plus given a free rental car while we waited.

People should know that my vehicle is very fast and comfortable to drive!
I love my vehicle. I really love the seats and the overall look of it. I do not dislike anything about it!

It's fantastic gas mileage
It is a hybrid gets at least 40 mpg, has hands free phone connect; great interior room (hatchback); can haul quite a bit with back seats down. Goes at least 100,000 miles before tune up needed. I love this car!

Hybrid gas mileage is great! Backup rear camera is very useful, we installed one recently and it helps.
Love the gas mileage I get as I have a long commute. I do not like the visibility in the car. It is hard to see out the back window. It's not a comfortable car as you feel every pothole and bump.

2011 Honda insight: lag and accelerating.
It is a reliable car that has lasted almost 100,000 miles and I have never had any mechanical issues. This care is a hybrid and to save gas, it shuts off the engine whenever the car is decelerating and goes below 3 mph. This as soon as I push the gas, the engine turns on again, but it has a kick due to the engine turning on and immediately accelerating. This car also has slow acceleration. Overall it is a reliable vehicle, but these things take away from the driving experience.

That the air conditioning will shut off when the car shuts off at stop lights!!
I like being able to get 40 miles per gallon of gas when I was commuting to work. I dislike the air system shutting off when the vehicle does when stopped. I dislike the amount of room in the vehicle now that we have a newborn and two other children.

Great all-around green hatchback.
We got it for a steal because it had technically been used as a rental although it had only a few thousand miles on it. Absolutely love the gas mileage, sometimes up to 50 mpg for long flat trips. It has plenty of space in the back, is very comfortable no matter if you are tall or short, and is very reliable. The little window cut outs make it easy to see all around you (better than the Prius we tried out). Handles very smoothly.

Is The 2011 Honda Insight A Good Car?
Great vehicle. Great on gas and space. The only annoying part is the slow acceleration. It is a safety feature so it's not terrible. But it's still annoying at a green light.
Tempest S.
Yes. M car is fuel-efficient, reliable, with a spacious interior. I have been pleased with my purchase and look forward to driving my Insight for many years to come.

How Reliable Is The 2011 Honda Insight?
No problems that have occurred since I've had it for 2 years. As previously stated, slow acceleration is annoying especially at a green light. But that's the only problem so far.
Tempest S.
The Insight is reliable. I have not experienced any problems of note. It is a good car in the city and on the highway.

Is The 2011 Honda Insight A Good Value?
I got mine used for a greatly decent price. Definitely worth the money. Ran smoothly when it was purchased and continues to do so.
Tempest S.
I paid around $11,000 for it used in 2016. I think the price was a bit high but the mileage was low and I still have not passed 100,000 miles so I can't complain.
