- Steve has his hands on the all new 2019 Honda Insight. This 3rd Generation hybrid looks good, drives great and gets excellent fuel efficiency. Check it out and see if this might be just the right Hybrid Honda for You!
First time I’ve been even remotely interested in a hybrid.
I mean this in the best possible way, you have the personality and charm of the Joker as interpreted by Jack Nicholson. Blended with the voice and hairline of Michael Douglas. Thanks for the review! I’m off to buy this car in fall of 2019.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words..) Steve
Steve! I'm not going to lie, I was really hoping to hear you tell the car "You're my number one guy". Seriously my man, I was thinking the same exact thing.
Just bought this car 2 days ago it's my very first car and I am so obsessed with it. It drives so well, and I've been getting 60.9 mpg!!!
Congrats...... I bought my new Insight in July 2018. It's a very addictive car..... such a great handling car with incredible gas mileage. In our warm season I can get as high as 75 mpg (Imperial).
I agree, i got mine just recently too
and quite ecstatic about it, especially the techs and looks.
Never enjoyed a car review so much, ever! Love it. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I hope you check out our RUclips Channel with hundreds of videos to "hopefully" enjoy and subscribe..:) Steve
I just bought a used 2019 Honda Insight LX with 17k miles. I drove from LA to Palm Desert and got 60.4 mpg!!
Just got the 2021 touring model, now with blind spot monitoring and rear cross alert. This car is awesome. The best part is-- its been 2 weeks that i havent seen the gas pump.👏👏👏 chaching!$$$
This is the most attractive hybrid... The tail lights are shaped like a BMW with the LED part of it shaped like an Audi A3
Baasil F. Audi A3 is the first thing I thought of when I saw the taillights. And that is not a bad thing at all.
One nice thing about the 2019 Insight: it's actually a _nice_ looking car--even better looking than the Civic sedan. At least you don't have to deal with the weirdly ugly look of the current Toyota Prius.
I'm averaging 52+ MPG on my 2019 Insight EX. I usually just leave it on economy but now and then I'll pop it in sport mode if I need some extra get up and go. So far 3,500 miles...I love it!
hey, what are your monthly payments?
@@TheAlernesto I got it out the door with tax and tags for less than 25K....as far as payments go...it depends on your interest rate and how many years you finance it for. I only financed 12K for three years....My payments are $350 per month.
52 mpg bullcrap
@@chadhaire1711 52.3 MPG IN MY LAST 3,640 MILES....I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU A PIC OF MY DASH SO YOU WOULD KNOW I'M NOT BSing you. Shame I can't upload one here. I have no reason to lie about it.
Have a great day....!
Gary: Anyone can put 52 mpg on a car by either driving 20 mph under the speed limit or driving on back country roads at 30 mph --NEITHER are real world conditions. On a back road at 30 mph you could probably get 52 on a truck. On the freeway at 75 mph you will NEVER see more than 41 mpg, and the overall average in the real world is 40/43 mpg. I verified this in 400 miles of testing and Car & Driver magazine did a week at 43 mpg average REAL WORLD ...my video is on youtube and more accurate than this lousy video here....
I like this guy and his reviews.
Just ran across your comment. Thanks! I appreciate it..:) Steve
Love the charismatic review of the Steve.. Please keep posting regular car reviews..This channel is very underestimated due to long gaps in posting car reviews but the best one in my opinion.
Thanks for your kind words! We schedule one review a month though sometimes it seems like it's a bit longer. I wish this was my full time job but unfortunately it isn't. I really appreciate your support and patience..:) Steve
i just bought one, but i wonder why i've never heard of this car, nor seen it on the road before
The insight comes with lane watch not blind spot monitoring
your voice sounds a lot like Micheal Douglas ! great work on your reviews
keep up the wonderful work...
I appreciate your kind words. Thanks..:) Steve
GREAT REVIEW!
Just some thoughts:
There is a battery underneath the rear seat which pushes it higher taking away head room. I'm thinking Honda didn't want to sacrifice boot space so they put it underneath the rear seat. Honda needs to remember that many Americans are tall so head room is a definite. Last, Honda Insight is assembled in Greensburg, Indiana. Proud of it, and I definitely think it is one of the better looking hybrid cars out there.
The difference in rear head room between the Civic and Insight is only half a centimetre, that’s less than a quarter of an inch. There’s no difference between the regular and hybrid Accord at all. Your comment on less than great rear head room is valid, but it’s due to the sloping roof and not because of the hybrid battery. Honda made the gas tank smaller to accommodate the battery.
Well....look at my shorts. Yea that's exactly why I wanted to watch your video.
I really enjoyed your humor and your review!
The air vent for passengers in the back are actually in the middle under the seat behind your legs.
The battery for the hybrid lives under the rear seats. Those vents would more likely be for the battery? Unless you are talking about the vents under the front driver and passenger seats meant for the passenger's legs.
Love my ex Insight. Average mpg 48 mainly highway.
I’m loving this design might have to buy one.
Great review. We just bought our Touring Insight. Love it.
Thanks and Congratulations..:) Steve
This will be my next car, looks great + great fuel economy 👌
There is no blind spot detection/warning system on the Insight.
Yes, there is
Looks really nice, and would be great to save on a lot of gas.
The civic spare tire fits it perfectly.
Jason Carmichael does it need to be the same year? We have a 19 Insight and we are curious how to get a spare since the dealer still can’t get one. (So they tell us) Thanks
@@rwilson7744 not at all, it doesn't even have to be a Civic wheel. Kia, Hyundai, Plymouth, Chevy, Ford. Anything with the same bolt patern will be fine. 5x114.3.
Great review along with making me laugh at the same time
Thanks. Glad you enjoy our work..:) Steve
Question? In East TN it is quite hilly. When we leave our house we have to go up a rather steep road. The car seems as though it is not able to apply power no matter how far you push the accelerator. After driving for a while I can go up the same hill with no problem. What’s up with that?
Nice (and entertaining) review. Thanks.
You're welcome..:) Steve
@13:08 What kind of voodoo is that? All those cars at the light but your lane completely open.
I thought the 2019-2020 version did not have blind spot detection. Do they have it?
No, they just have the lane watch camera on the right side. The 2021 insights have blind spot monitors though.
they stopped including a spare tire?
unfortunately yes.. it has a "fix-a-flat" instead
@@conker1oo Unfortunately I simply assumed there was a spare tire back there and so naturally I bought some fix-a-flat to go with it...
@@Johnny-rj9on unfortunately yes. for Honda spare tire instead i bought a fix-a-flat
Hey Steve, you could also try out a skirt, to tribute our beloved scottish friends! SAORSA!!!
I'll put it on my "to do list"..:) Steve
Great review. Thank you!
Glad you enjoy our work. You're very welcome..:) Steve
Nice weather there steve.
Just watch out for jealous drivers who will tailgate you and don't let them walk all over you.
Did some research and I´m still on the fence with the Insight. Many owners are not getting the claimed 50-55 mpg. Reports show 37-43 mpg and that is very , very disappointing. A real shame considering that the Insight has been the best looking Honda in years.On the other hand , the new Jetta with the little turbo engine is getting up to 46 mpg and that is freaking impressive considering the size of the car and the price ( 16k for the base model)
If you're a city driver, 50 mpg is easily attainable. However, if you drive on mainly the highway every day it'll probably be more around 45 mpg.
Just bought an Insight last week and I think I can clarify the MPG issue. I like to drive with a lead foot and MPG has never been an issue until I started driving 100+ miles/day. In my normal driving mode I definitely seem to hover between 40-45 mpg but if I pay even a little attention to my acceleration and use the brake regen paddles when I can, the MPG easily sits above 50. Cold weather supposedly plays a big factor and I think the current rash of comments complaining about low MPG might be due to that.
Also, I should clarify that in hilly areas, with absolutely no care for my gas usage, I was getting 38-39 mpg.
@@Johnny-rj9on Can confirm. One day I'm getting 47-50 mpg on highway at 70 degrees. Next day I get 37-41 mpg at 20 degrees or so. I'm also driving in very hilly areas with very little city driving.
This review is fake--he only drove the car for a few hours so the MPG figures are buillcrap
I really wish it was a hatch back. That is the what makes the Prius so great. It is amazing how much stuff I can cram into it.
not available in europe
GREAT JOB HONDA.... I have always said, make an electric car.. just look like any other car. I dont like or want those WEIRD looking things that Nissan or Toyota makes.. in fact, I think I would de-badge the Accord, or insight Hybrid badges.. I dont even like them.
👍❤️
Will honda insight have 2.0l ?
No
If you want a 2.0-liter engine, get the Accord Hybrid.
It was a good thing that there were a few red lights in your travels so that we could see whether or not the Insight was able to come to a complete stop. It appeared the electronic driver assists prevented the Insight from accomplishing this function at stop signs. Oops, that function is still controlled by the operator.
@John Doe Let's all keep in mind that as autonomous cars improve and become the norm, government and insurance mandates will require these vehicles to strictly obey all traffic rules and regulations. This will include speed limits and, Yes, no more rolling stops.

Ha! You Win!! That's Great!!! Thanks for being a "fan"..:) Steve
I went to a Honda dealer yesterday this car is beautiful but I think I'm gonna buy the subaru forestor
* Forester
Why tho, I am not saying your choice is wrong but why
Two TOTALLY different vehicles Both great vehicles in their class.
So funny guy
I miss Honda... The old Honda. Now all the new Honda sucks. Ever since the 2013 Honda accord/cvt came out, Honda want down the drain. Transmission problem electric problem. Toyota Beat It by far now.
George Abdo Toyota are kinda ugly esp the corolla
@@realblackbetty2204 that is true but performance-wise, way much better
ChestyMD toyoTAXi
George Abdo performance wise? Which part? Doesn’t even have Apple play, rough ride, AC is hot with poorly placed vents that gets all the heat since it’s very near the top of the dashboard, so it takes longer for the car to cool.
Where is toyoTAXI even at with their autopilot, none, no plans, toyoTaxi including lexus has 2010 technology. Stop blubbering delusional ToyoTaXI crap
Fake review--driving a hybrid for 10 minutes and not giving the REAL WORLD fuel economy which is 43 mpg overall.
Come on, this thing is hideous...
Helluva lot better than a fugly prius
supersonic - do tell; what (in your opinion) is wrong with it?
The way it looks is repulsive, meaning messy, twisted design but I understand that US market does have its own rules though...
Actually it's pretty damn good looking!
It looks way better than the Accord. That butt ugly design looks horrendous
