Re: 2010 Honda Insight
Okay update ( going to work )
47 mpg in mixed hwy /city
1 stop 30 miles.
Just like the prius, Honda has a screen display to show when you are using gas or electric or both.

Re: 2010 Honda Insight
It is coming to the end of the week and here are my updates:
1. 45.4 MPG
2. Driver seat is a little uncomfortable
(lumbar support pad should correct that issue)
3. Bad rearview ability without a backup camera.
(I will be putting together a installation guide on installing an OEM like backup camera)
4. Radio not a pushy as in the Civic
(abeit it is the same radio!!)
Overal this is a good Hybrid vehicle that does what is advertised.
Future model recommedations:
- Add Honda Backup camera
- Add adjustable lumbar support
- Make Floor Mats and Privacy Screen standard
- Add remote trunk release inside car
- Add locking gas lid cover with release inside car
- Move sun visor down toward the windshield
- Add Bi-Xeon lights as an option

Re: 2010 Honda Insight
sorry I meant to say:
The radio (navigation unit) does not produce the same low end (bass) as compared to the civic I had.
Also there isn't a bass kit available like there is on the civic.

Re: 2010 Honda Insight
Pictures coming soon!
In other news... using the electric to power the car is completely awesome. I am able to have the car sustain no gas power longer and with little effort. So far I am getting 52.9mpg for the week!
Even though this car has a 98 HP engine, you don't notice it.
