Yesterday I test drove a 2010 Honda insight. I was very unexcited about the new design. The particular vehicle that I drove was a hybrid design with a semi-automatic transmission. There were many things that I enjoyed about it and others not so much.
The interior had a very spacious and nice design. The seats were very comfortable. I did not like the Gauge cluster though. The speedometer was digital and would change from being back lit blue to being back lit green based upon whether the engine were running on combustion or electricity. This I found very distracting. The colors would change quite often. My other complaint about the interior was the, what i like to call, "THE BLIND SPOT!". If you have to merge over or even look backward you are faced with a quite large blind spot. This makes being inside of the very spacious interior feel very cramped.
My other complaint with the car is the fuel economy. The car is rated at 41 and 50 miles to the gallon. THis is absurd. a car that has the ability to run on an electric motor or a fuel injected motor should be able to run at a minimum of 180 miles just on the battery packs before transferring over to gas. and the gas engine in this car should be able to get in my opinion at least 60 miles to the gallon.
This is my opinion of the new 2010 honda insight. They should has stayed with the original design of a fully electric platform.
