Introduction To Our Used 2001 Honda Insight Hybrid - Green Car Reports

We do our best though, which is how I've come to be the proud owner of a 2001 Honda Insight. Cars are rather expensive objects, so dropping cash on the latest electric vehicle, plug-in hybrid, punchy diesel or any other shiny object of desire isn't always possible. Instead, many of us spend our time trawling sales adverts for used vehicles, buying up cars a decade behind everyone else. On the plus side, it does mean we get to test the sort of cars we know we may be able to buy in another ten or fifteen years. I never had that benefit of foresight in 1999 when the original Honda Insight appeared, since I was only 14 years old. three years from learning to drive, a decade from becoming a motoring journalist. I do recall liking the car though, if more for its resemblance to the old Honda CRX than the cutting-edge technology within. Sales barely topped 250 units before it was dropped in 2005, and a great number of those still remain--around 220 or so. They don't come up for sale often as a result. When they do, prices tend to be on the high side--typically three or four times what you might pay for a. Source: www.greencarreports.com
