Guys guess who is back!

I purchased a 2010 Honda Insight EX with Nav.

Over the next few weeks I will provide feedback and try to answer any questions anyone might have about the vehicle.

Specs:

- Black on light Grey
- Auto Dim Mirror
- Mud Flaps
- Navigation
- Bluetooth Handsfree
- USB /iPod connector

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.

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

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.

Congrats, but of course, this thread is useless without pics.

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.

I don't understand this statement. ICE?
