update
 

Hi all!
I just received a request for an update from Greenhybrid so here it is:

My 2001 manual transmission 1rst generation Insight is running well (bought through eBay 2/10). I have had the IMA battery replaced under warrenty at Honda dealer (no cost), oil changed, 1 rear tire/rim secured, and filled with gasoline 3 or 4 times. My average "mpg" stays between 64.8mpg to 65.0mpg. I have heard that another Insight has been sited across town, I have not seen it. So this appears to be a rare vehicle here, turns heads, and is a conversation starter.

This town/area (south NJ) actually is muscle car oriented. There is a new race-track, Indy style. There seems to be some resistance to change, but it will happen!

Hi, I'm familiar with south Jersey. Nice place to visit in the summertime.

It sounds like your car is doing great! Every time I see a first-generation Insight I find myself doing a double-take. Nice cars, and pretty rare in my area as well.
