The car is compact and has amazing gas mileage to allow for long trips for little cost.
I enjoy the gas mileage that I get, as opposed to my previous car. The small design also allows me to squeeze into small parking spaces and steer easily. The hatchback also allows me to fit a lot of items in my trunk area, including small furniture!

Honda insight is a reliable and economic car.
I bought the car used about 2 years ago and I have had very few issues. I have driven from Miami to New York and back twice since I have bought it. Also I do food deliveries with it no problem. The only issues I have had are the battery stopped working once I bought one and replaced it. The other thing was the a/c that stopped working I replaced that and everything else has been perfect.

My car is a 4-door hatchback, with cloth interior, CD player, and AM-FM radio.
I appreciate the amount of space in this compact car. I love the hatchback, so I can haul items. The car gets great gas mileage; I fill up probably only once a week. It has been very reliable and requires very little maintenance. The A/C system works well and keeps the car cool. For a hybrid, acceleration is relatively easy.

Love the gas mileage. Love the looks. The seats aren't very comfortable on long trips. The speedometer hits right where the steering wheel is. It's hard to see.
How great the gas mileage is. We get an average of 46 miles / per gallon

Sharp looking car and fun to drive
Easy to drive. Looks great and gets GREAT GAS MILEAGE. It's a hatchback and has great storage space. A lot of legroom too. Seats 5 comfortably. Easy to clean and take care of and has a FREEZING AIR CONDITIONER. Insurance is cheap too. Great for new drivers

It is incredibly dependable.
I love that it gets amazing gas mileage and has the features I need and that it is blue. I do not care for how quickly it goes through tires.

Wonderful vehicle with great gas mileage.
Best mileage per gallon of any car I have ever owned. 55 mpg sometimes on the highway and actually has really good mpg in the city. We have drive in the mountains up hill and down hill in the city and on the highway and the car consistently gets great gas mileage. It is great when you fill up your vehicle at the pump and you pay very little compared to our other vehicles. I like that it is very quiet when starting the vehicle as well as backing up.

Honda insight: tiny but mighty.
I really love my Honda insight. I live in Honolulu, hi where our streets are heavily congested and the parking is always tight. However, I never have a problem finding parking in my cute compact car. Keep in mind, I am a single, 5'5' female so this tiny size is perfect for me. When my taller friends ride along with me they do admittedly find it cramped. If you frequently drive more than 2 people around, this car may not be the one for you; the back seat is not the most comfortable. In addition to the size, I also love the fact that this car is a hybrid which saves me so much money. I drive just a short distance everyday to work and around town to do errands, but my small 8 gallon tank can last me up to 4 weeks on average. The only downside to the hybrid vehicle that I have found is the strength of the ac. Since it is mostly powered by the charged battery, if the car is not driven at a high speed (45 mph) initially (when you first start the engine), it takes the vehicle a while for the air to get cold. This is definitely something that affects me while sitting in traffic all year long in Hawaii. Other than that, I have no complaints! Extremely safe and reliable overall.

Great and affordable car for a college student.
It was a very affordable car considering that I am a college student. Didn't have too many problems with it. Not too hard to maintain. Gave good mileage.

I like the curve of the top of the vehicle
Too many oil changes, sits too low to the ground blinded by trucks headlights, not as fuel efficient as advertised
