Got the 2021 touring few months ago. Gorgeous car inside and out. Ample power , quiet cabin, awesome fuel economy, oozing with tech., very happy with it.
@@i2thadean for me yes, because of the leather seats alone, premium infotainment with subwoofer, satelite radio and depending on where you are bigger wheels. Also chrome trimmings
@@melodymashup drives good, i went out of town last weekend, i reach several times 85 on the highway. My last 3 cars were 3 different generations of Civics and my wife has an accord...this one feels more like the accord, feels heavier, wider and lower..so higher speed feels more stable and hugs the road better.
@@SIIKAP1 well In eco mode it’s sluggish but if you temporarily switch it to sport mode it is powerful and can pass quickly ! Just wouldn’t want to keep it in sport mode all the time or would really take a toll on the mpg
I think it would be interesting to have you do a comparison episode of the larger Honda sedans and their features, strengths and weaknesses. I think most people are confused by the (seemingly) similarity amongst different models in their lineup (Accord, Insight, Clarity).
@@adammwick2028 Got mine in May. Its probably going to be tougher now to get one, but probably even worse in 2022. Expect to pay sticker or more now. The dealers in Dalls/Ft. Worth tend to pack on worthless extras to jack up the price. Good luck. I only expect gas to rapidly increase in price thus increasing the demand for high mileage cars like the Insight. The price of the 2022 is a few hundred higher and gives you nothing extra.
@@Iegend17 Rumor has it that there may be a Civic Hybrid coming up. That's about to get intersting. I predict that the Civic Hybrid might be hatch only since the Insight sedan already exists, which is ironic since the Insight historically had a liftback design
Overall smarter move is to go with hybrid elantra. The engine of the insight with the CVT is an absolute ear sore when you accelerate, the elantra is also more quite in the cabin and has a real smooth auto transmission. The exterior styling on the elantra is also edgy and stands out on the road.
Unfortunately for Honda, the noise of the CVT inside the cabin is loud as fuck and it has a very odd pitch, almost as if there is something wrong mechanically even though there is isn't. Additionally, they decibel sound meter in the Honda is almost 30% louder to make matters worse. Why did they not make more of an effort to sound dampen especially with their loud CVT??? Makes no sense. This is what turned me off mainly. The Hyundai has a smooth automatic 6 speed, and its quiet on the inside. They both have very fast 0 to 60 mph (for a hybrid) times 7.3 for Honda and 7.5 for hyundai. Honda does look visually appealing though in a more traditional way. They're are both nice but in the USA the Elantra is also a few thousand cheaper.
@@nyrider8396 I was thinking I like the insight better. The accord rear lights look like they are going for a spaceship look. And the nose looks like a pig nose.
do you think the new integra will be based off the insight? i think out of all the honda sedan's so far the insight looks the best. the front design is what i'd expect from honda being similar to the accord and new civic but i hated the accord's rear light style BUT insight did it right with theirs. the new civic hatchback for 2022 also has a nice rear design-i wonder if it'll just stick with the ugly acura ilx concepts or pick up from the accords, civics, and insights. what are your thoughts?
The interior materials are nice, but the design is starting to feel a little dated, esp compared to the 2022 Civic which looks really nice with the honeycomb air vents.
@@daveheel the old and stubborn. Your ways aren't the best anymore. Get over it. LEARN about formats.

When it's time for this Insight to be replaced by Honda's next compact hybrid, Honda should make that next compact hybrid a hatchback like the Integra, whether it's a Civic Hybrid or 4th gen Insight
I don’t think so. The accord did get it first I believe. It was for the 2021, the civic has a very smooth system. I didn’t get to try Honda sensing in the 21 accord. The steering assist activated at low speeds in the 2022 civic which I was very impressed about
@@bigtyme988 yes I know. The accord got it for 2021. My 2018 accord didn’t have it. Only had it in KM. the could’ve used the same screen to do it in miles
I bought a Honda Insight in 2018. After driving I was getting nervous and was losing consciousness and strength in my right hand. I complained to the dealer and Honda company in California but they did not listen. While driving I was getting unconscious, called an ambulance, and had to check the cause, but they couldn’t find any heart trouble or brain trouble or tumors, etc. But later a friend who is an engineer told me that this kind of car is health hazardous. I found out that many have complained about Honda cars for the same problems in the past. After I kept complaining, the Honda dealer asked me to come and promised to change the car. When I went to get another car, he took away 8000 dollars from the faulty car to take it back and sold the other car for more than the price. They never confessed that Honda Insight is a faulty mode and has been discontinued many, many times in the past. I was very hurt. I thank God that I survived, even though they cheated and lied to me. They also wanted me to sell the car to someone, but I couldn’t. I love others as I love myself. I was collapsing. Then how can I give to others? I told them that dishonesty will not bring blessings. But they were so cruel and did not listen, seeing I was a senior and a woman they took advantage of me. They never write when I complain but only talk on the phone. We purchase laws to protect, but we cannot purchase righteous God. Plus, he doesn't care if you are Honda or Toyota. He will fight my battle. I am a missionary living with little income and this giant Honda stole my money, but I tell you my God will give me sevenfold plus back.
DO NOT BUY THIS FUCKING LEMON!!!!! I purchased the 2022 Insight Touring package three weeks ago. I purchased it for a daily driver and for road trips around Oregon, specifically to Mt Hood where my family has a tiny ski cabin. With guests in the vehicle, it is unable to achieve and maintain highway speeds without the engine redlining with any more than one person in the car. It can barely make it up the 2-3% graded area, and I was terrified to try the 6% graded area. It felt INCREDIBLY unsafe and underpowered. My brother and I both thought something was slipping. The engine revs dramatically and almost no power is sent to the wheels. I have no idea how I can use it to carpool. If you know the Portland area, it struggles to get up the west hills of through the tunnel up to Skyline on the way to Beaverton with just me (155 lbs). If I had two people or more in the car, I would feel horribly unsafe. I took it to the shop and they said it was working as designed. This is completely unacceptable! If you live in a completely flat area or only drive on city streets, yeah it will probably be fine. If you have any hills whatsoever, you are fucked.
I spent a lot of time on the Insight owners forums, like gen3insight before I bought mine. It is not good choice if you have lots of hilly terrain or if you do lots of freeway driving over 70mph. Hybrids in general are optimal for city/suburban driving and freeway driving 65mph or less. I fit that profile and am averaging 53.5 mpg with about 1600 miles on the car. You could probably sell it now for close to what what you bought it for given the demand for used cars at greatly inflated prices. Sport mode might help you a bit going up hills. Its not a lemon but not a good choice for the type of driving you do.
Just drive the speed limit, which is usually 55-65 MPH. Did you test drive before purchasing? If you're used to going up hills faster than necessary or over 65 MPH on the highway, I'd recommend a 2.5L 4 cylinder with less fuel mileage but more power.
I just got this car to 546 miles in one tank. It's amazing.
Wow that’s amazing 🤯😳

Is the extra amount for the touring worth it vs the ex? Thoughts?

@@canpin why you are commenting the same comment all over the testing videos lol , but it's a great car indeed
How's it drive above 80? Obviously mpg takes hit but I'm wondering about drive quality...
@@melodymashup drives good, i went out of town last weekend, i reach several times 85 on the highway. My last 3 cars were 3 different generations of Civics and my wife has an accord...this one feels more like the accord, feels heavier, wider and lower..so higher speed feels more stable and hugs the road better.
I absolutely love my 2022 Honda Insight ex. Average 55-57 mpg with most driving
any complaints with it? how’s the acceleration for merging and overtaking?
@@SIIKAP1 well In eco mode it’s sluggish but if you temporarily switch it to sport mode it is powerful and can pass quickly ! Just wouldn’t want to keep it in sport mode all the time or would really take a toll on the mpg
Sport mode is super fast!!!!
This car is unbelievable

Sorry I don’t but I do have separate videos of the accord, civics and insights. I pov test drive and full review of all of them
Crazy how at minute 4:51 the gas indicator goes up one bar lol
The car is so efficient it can make it’s own fuel! 🤣
I have a 2021 EX and love it. Looks like they've changed NOTHING except eliminating the LX trim in the 2022 unless you noticed something?
Nope nothing. It’s the same as the 2021 and 2020 I reviewed and drove :)
I was debating on either going 2021 or 2022. If it all the same, I think 2021 would be cheaper or easier to negotiate right?

Great video, you said mpg 49 highway but you only got 41mpg on your trip set
I guess Honda is coming out with the Honda Civic hybrid for 2023
Discontinued, will be difficult to get parts with supply chain issues.
Are there any major differences in the 2019 ex compared to 2022 ex?
the key isn’t automatic like the 22
Would you take a accord hybrid over this? Hondas are the best.
Yes for sure. I drove the 21 accord hybrid and I enjoyed driving the insight more for some reason.
@@Iegend17 Rumor has it that there may be a Civic Hybrid coming up. That's about to get intersting. I predict that the Civic Hybrid might be hatch only since the Insight sedan already exists, which is ironic since the Insight historically had a liftback design
@@Blank00 man honda has a all-star sedan lineup with accord, civic, insight, clarity sheesh

I actually enjoyed driving the insight more. With the Design on the Elantra you are right
I prefer the insight because of the non edgy exterior

The insight doesn't have CVT
@@funkybunch81 lol really ?
Is it just me or do the new Honda models (Civic, Accord and Insight) all look the same?
Yes they kinda do lol.
The back of the insight looks ugly compared to civic or accord

do this have a cd player? what places know how to work on hybrids and how expensive are repairs?

Why does no one ever have the eco flow on the display I want to see that so bad
It’s pretty basic, just shows a pic of a battery and green lines from engine depending on how it’s used
Nice test 👍🏻🌷
Is this insight more fun and easy to drive than accord hybrid ?
Yes of course due to its size
When it's time for this Insight to be replaced by Honda's next compact hybrid, Honda should make that next compact hybrid a hatchback like the Integra, whether it's a Civic Hybrid or 4th gen Insight
It's called the crv hybrid
Well, depending on what continent you're on, you got your wish. EU is getting a hybrid civic hatch
the problem is dealerships don’t have them rn
Correct. My brother pre ordered one and waited 3 months but he got it and he loves it
How does it perform when going uphill?
Just like any other car
@@Iegend17 what I meant does it struggle? It has 1.5 engine that's why I asked
It’s super noisy and the power isn’t the best going uphill
@@malekshishani5861 it does not struggle at all. Put in sport mode to climb hills faster then most cars with 200 lb of torque
They update the Honda sensing like the new civic?

I have a 2019 looks the same
Does it have a digital speedometer?
No :(
That's a deal breaker for me no digital speedo have to pass we in the 21st century. Honda needs to have all there cars digital.

It does not have a mph (numbers) if that's what you're asking. Only kph option for some reason. The dial speedo on the right is in mph.
