or just any bits of information that might be helpful in purchasing one

I was just looking at this last night - it's just an article about the car.

Answer 2

i have a 2002 insight. love it! i drive 80 mi daily. mileage is 52mpg. i purchased it used in 2005 with 32k mi. have done routine maintenance with no major problems. cannot believe that honda does not re-issue this car.

Answer 3

They are slow, have no room, and ugly.  If it needs repairs then its going to cost you a fortune.  The mileage should be 50+ as long as you don't use the A/C or roll the windows down.  Your best mileage will be in the city not the highway.

sk - They don't reissue the car because nobody bought it the 1st time around.  They sold 18k over 3 years which means they lost a ton of money on it.  It wont pass any of the current crash or emissions standards.  All of the current hybrids are safer, cleaner, have enough room for more than 2 people, and fast enough to keep up with highway traffic.
