This car has absolutely cemented my love for Honda as being the best car company in the world. Your ocd with the wheel is something I never noticed. I thought maybe your seat rail may have been moved or bent. As I sit, the wheel finds my middle section. The HVAC bothers me a bit with the fan speed selector, it’s a bit strange but definitely 90’s thinking. The gaskets for the roof? Yes, but after 20 years, it dries up, just like motor mounts, a non-issue. Trans? Yes, known issue, although I have one with 280k and another with 113k and no grinds, also a DC5 (notorious for glass transmission) and have had zero issues. If you own a car past the warranty period, I would hope you know a thing or two about turning a wrench or have deep pockets and someone who works on these. Much like driving a manual, a part of my childhood that I believe every adult should have skills in, for any car. I’m extremely ecstatic to own three of these and could buy a new car but have been smitten with the car so much so that I haven’t driven my DC5 in over three years. You gotta love Honda. If you know, you know.

Some comments on your "Hates" . . . . as the original owner of a 2000 Honda Insight Manual, Silver, with 425,000 miles. Steering Wheel offcenter, never noticed. I actually like the steering placement better than most other cars I've driven (variety of rentals, and the other 3 in our fleet, 2 Subie Outbacks and a Ford Van. Wet seatbelt, have noticed that a couple of time, and my Honda Insight rests outside, in all sorts of weather, not had to resort to any fixes. A/C . . . . simple, had no problem figuring it out. Remember, this vehicle is designed for maximum fuel . . . . READ energy efficiency. A/C econ pulls less power than full A/C mode. The Insight will accelerate quicker in A/C econ versus full mode. You have 3 options when coming to a stop sign, push the Big AC button - engine will keep running and you have full A/C OR push the Econ button to off and the blowers will continue even with the engine shutoff. Gear servos, yes downshifting into 2nd is getting to be a challenge now, throttle lag is an issue and probably grinding things if over 30 mph. Probably going to have the servos tweaked later this fall or possibly replacing with a Civic gear box. Fuel economy too good? I noticed 52.4 on your dashboard, that's not considered "good" in a manual G1 Insight. 60's are bare minimum and try for 70+ mph per fuel tank. Have fun.

I dunno much about how the insight works other than a parallel electric assist motor between engine & trans and a battery pack that gets charged by regen braking and engine alternator? (How does the battery pack get recharged?) but was thinking about a used G1 insight could be upgraded for more power and/or better MPGs.... Like if you could swap out a worn out battery for a more power dense lithium battery, add a plug in charger for more range and use the electric motor more often? Add thin film solar panes to the hood and roof for a couple hundred extra watts of solar charging power when it's parked in the sun for 8 hours while you're at work. Send a few more volts/amps from the bigger lithium battery bank to the electric motor for a little more power. Those mods would be beyond my capabilities but am wondering if someone knowledgeable could DIY it for a reasonable price?

When I tell people that car makers could easily build a 2 seated 100 mpg commuter hybrid they refuse to believe me. Auto makers and oil companies also have a relationship. Car makers claiming to make hybrids & EV "to help the environment" is nothing but virtue signaling BS. They also claim it's too difficult for something like the Elio to go from concept to production.Yet they had no problems making the Can Am Spyder or Polaris Slingshot. Both are incredibly stupid vehicles since they off all of the disadvantages of a car & motorcycle while having none of the advantages of a car or motorcycle. They could also take something like the Yamaha 300cc Tricity scooter (2 wheels up front & 1 in rear) and simply add a removable, lightweight, aerodynamic enclosure that would serve 2 purposes. #1 make it more aerodynamic & fuel efficient #2 Protect from rain, cold weather so it could used year round. One nice days if you wanted, you could take the enclosure off. Check out the VW NILS , it's similar to something I would build if I could but i'd make it tandem 2 seated, possible with removable top and add removable hard cases/ saddlebags to the sides that could be used for road trips.We are being lied to by the automotive industry.I think Oil companies don't want millions of 100 mpg cars on the road because it would disrupt our economy. If only 1/2 the amount of gas & oil was being sold each year. So automakers give us 50 mpg Prius and say it's all the better they can do right now.

The good news is if you hate this car so much there's a massive queue of enthusiasts wanting to buy one. They seem to be well sought after. Honda must have gotten feedback about the ac in their early hybrids. I have a 2008 civic hybrid. It has a 'hybrid' compressor that can be driven by the engine and or hybrid system. It incorporates an electric motor. This means when you come to a stop and the engine stops the hybrid system powers the compressor and fan so that you maintain your ac. The engine will only kick back in if you're stationary for many minutes and the battery charge is getting low or to heat the coolant if the temperature is getting low.

The reason for the steering wheel placement is obvious if you look under the hood to find the steering column; the cars front tapers for aerodynamic reasons and the geometry of the steering is offset; they could have put in some offset linkage but you can also slightly adjust your seat. You have a 20 year old car you bought for $1000; since you are upgrading it :replace the seals so you don't have a leak? AC; worried about heating up a min or two at a stop light? OK don't use that mode then. If your 20 year old car has a syncro going out ; rebuild it there is a KZbin on doing it. There is a CVT automatic version and it is better from driving around town; the manual is really a highway car. If you go highway cruising about 60mph you should get about 70mpg

Hi Jake! I had a 2006 and a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrids. We absolutely loved them, until Honda reprogrammed the IMA so that the battery would not go down more than 50% state of charge. It made a great car into garbage 🗑! I couldn’t get up the hill to my house in San Francisco without running out of battery assist. The 1300cc engine and it’s CVT transmission were way underpowered without the battery assistance. Honda would not replace the batteries under warranty until they got down to 20% capacity, not 80%, really 20%, not even 21%! I was so pissed 😤 that I had to get rid of them! The batteries didn’t last because they were cycled too much, that’s the reason for the programming change. These cars would be fine where there are not too many hills. I do see plenty of them around town, driven by people who didn’t know how awesome they used to be. I took trips over 9,000ft, with four people, in the mountains and got 50mpg! That was before the change.

The variation you are getting between fill ups is probably due to fuel tank expansion and contraction; the mileage indicator is very accurate; based off your actual injectors. I have two 2000 insights and one has 360,000 miles the other has 178,000 miles they both have very easy and flexible syncros and so you may want to check yours. It was sitting in a field; you can't expect perfection. The insight should be getting about low 50s like you show in town and more like 70 mpg on the freeway if you stay around 65; so your lifetime mpg should reflect your mix; also of course a good hybrid battery is critical to getting best mpg. I'd also note that your driver position is sort of due to how the car is curved; you may note your feet are more under the wheel. I think Honda would have liked to orient the seat slightly toward the right a few degrees; but it isn't legal to do that. The only thing I dislike about the car is the very expensive sensor used to monitor exhaust. If someone knows a cheaper but functional substitute I'd love to know what that is.

Sorry, but I think your least favorite things are an unusually nick picky list of your whining. Most cars have steering columns that are slightly off center or the wheels themselves are not parallel to the driver's chest. Car companies have very specific reasons for these designs.

I loved my silver 2004 Insight. I just sold it today after 17 years of service. Sad to see it go, but now I have a CRV and didn't need 2 vehicles.
