Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Insight?
As a "mission-specific" machine, it's about as perfect as you could possibly imagine.

No trailers, no heavy foot and you will be rewarded with 60+mpg at 70mph and the unique ability to drive through weather conditions causing SUVs to hide under bridges. A perfect "get me, my pal and luggage from point A to point B with no fuss at all".

And then there's the Honda support. Extraordinary! If you can find one, buy it.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Insight?
Any changes to broaden the mission-specific nature of this vehicle would make it worse.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Insight?
Everything.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Insight?
Add a small diesel engine, for even greater mpg and torque at low end would.
NOT TOUCH THE EXTERIOR DESIGN! OR ALUMINUM BODY....

2006 Honda Insight Review:
Why didn't Honda design a small diesel originally? Always better mpg with a diesel....look at what HAS BEEN AVAILABLE IN EUROPE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS....

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Insight?
Outstanding economy. Environmentally responsible vehicle. Great exterior styling and fun to drive. An exceptionally well engineered vehicle that has been totally reliable so far.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Insight?
This is a very specialized vehicle designed to push the envelope on getting the maximum mileage. It is not designed to compete with a Lexus 400 in comfort. For what it is supposed to do, I can't think of a thing to change.

2006 Honda Insight Review:
Totally satisfied with what we intended this vehicle to be. We get the EPA 55-56 on the highway staying at or under 70 mph without the A/C on. With a/c and a heavier foot it drops to 48-49 MPG. No problems so far and have had no reported battery drain. Is great in traffic and a joy to park. The hard tires give great mileage but add noise - I'll take the trade off. This is a second car for us but gets most of the use because of the fuel issues and the around town convenience. We also use it for occasional longer excursion drives and plan to leave our other car home for road trips. Highly recommend this great vehicle.
