I bought one. It is awesome! Driving it at night on the high way is pure happiness!

[@silentrage1985]

Hows the ground clearance in it ? Plz i really need to know as im going to sell my CHR 2019 and buy this insight the one im looking at says 2018 mf is that possible ? And the front shell got lots of chrome lines than black

[@air1986]

I have had this car for almost 4 years. Amazing ride. The gas mileage is amazing but does lack a bit during the coldest months. The most I have gotten was 60 mpg in the summer. The worst is in winter months I will avg between 42-46 which is still better than some cars out there. No regrets on this ride whatsovever.

[@May-tm4wb]

I just bought mine today. It’s beautiful. Still learning about it.

[@mattbergeron5791]

I am a robot operator at the Greensburg Indiana plant. It's great to see one of our cars reviewed. Glad you like it!

[@canpin]

Just bought the touring last month. Keep 'em coming! 👏👏👏

[@JJJosh949]

I don't know how Acura will survive with hondas like this, it's incredible.

[@NL-in6uj]

AWD people up north need it

[@YoLikeRyder]

AWD and memory seats 😂😭

[@jamesgand828]

@@YoLikeRyder Unless 1 person is driving the car, I don't see the purpose of the 2 memory seat.

[@kevenp.5394]

This is what the new accord should have looked like especially the back end for sure.

[@kjk4795]

SUBTRACT hell yeah

[@PWCDN]

100% agree

[@robertdatario85]

Thinking the same way.

[@andrewsalas7774]

i agree they would have put this rear on the accord and it would have been perfect inside and out

[@dennisbrooks4205]

Is this guy Olympic skater Scott Hamilton ?

[@psxisnotps1]

Im a prius guy. i love prius. with that being said, i have a feeling that my next car will be an insight.

[@515ventures3]

I live in San Diego with a 2013 Honda Accord EXL and the camera on the passenger mirror is phenomenal in heavy freeway 4-5 lane traffic!!! I'm glad to see it actually exist in new vehicles! I absolutely hate a dot light appearing on my mirror to tell me that a car is next to me. The camera mirror is so much better!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@kimraineyhashim703]

I've had my 2019 Touring for about 3 weeks and I am so in love with this car! Love the power seats!!!! I wish they had the turn camera for the left too. I have loved having the extra visual assistance. This is an amazing car!

[@user-jo4eq8xi8w]

my dad bought an insight back in 2019 brand new, it now has 190k original everything (other than spark plugs, oil, and tires). brakes stop on a dime and the car has never failed us once. if you're interested in buying one i would recommend buying it outright... at the end of the finance with honda this car's sticker for us will be 55k...... worth it

[@timmyvechett]

Jason, we all know the Insight is a hybrid. We watch this because we love Honda.

[@rvboondocker2559]

It’s a one speed too and the Sport is Amazing!

[@rvboondocker2559]

I’ve had mine 6 months and easily get 58 mph above 50 degrees outside temperature. Remote start included!

[@rwilson7744]

Best car we have ever had! Averaging 65 around town. Use the engine braking pedals on the steering wheel to extend the battery range through charging during your deceleration

[@FlyinGato]

Happy I was there to help you out with the filming, great job as usual Jason!!

[@henryhonda8408]

How's the Type "R" these days? Haven't seen any new Vlogs lately ..... *sniff* ;)

[@magnum1968]

If it gets 50 MPG in the City, then its going to be one awesome Hybrid. I have one of the older Insights and I loved it. So this is a major upgrade on Insight!

[@rafftime9831]

I sat in it on Friday and I’ll have to say the interior is as large as the accord good job Honda I can see myself owning this car 👍🏼👍🏼

[@anthonychen6237]

Great job, Honda! This will be my NEXT sedan for sure....

[@kennyrmrz]

HondaPro Jason always comes through with the unique details that no one else can share like battery location on this new Insight! Keep it up i love your channel!!!

[@parkedjeep96]

I love it. I want this to be my first NEW car. Currently saving up and building my credit for a new car. I think this is what I’ll get.

[@shaneh734]

Love it! And the rear end looks so much better than the civic! I wish they offered this with a 6 speed manual!

[@Pikminiman]

I lamented it when Honda got rid of the Civic Hybrid, so I'm super happy to see a Civic-sized hybrid back on Honda's lineup. The U.S. might be going crazy for crossovers, but I'm all about the sedan.

[@michaelmccoy6080]

It's a great car. I've actually gotten gas mileage in the 60s and 70s when it's warm, but when it's cold, you have to make sure the battery is charged when go to park to get MPG above 45. Sport mode is a rush when you have a charged battery. Acceleration feels like it can get away from you and it actually can in sport mode if you're an inexperienced driver. Again, great car, fully worth the $27,000 I paid for the EX.

[@JakeLo1991]

Who do you charge the battery?

[@shanikareynolds11]

Cool. Wish it came with a spare tire :/

[@marca9597]

I love all your reviews Jason, thank you for being so thorough with everything and going into all the specs of the car.

[@cheyennepug]

My bro HondaPro Jason!! My name is Jason too and I've loved Honda's since I was like 12 and I own a 95 civic hatchback.

Ju mm~~~m~~..

[@winkeyes]

5 Star Gem. Had one for 6 years and no issues. Great mileage you can get 70mpg ( if you baby the gage) 50 MPG Avg easy, 40 MPG in sport mode and it rocks. Easy 400-500 mi. range per tank. No shifting 1-200. The Electric motor is wow. Best car i have ever owned. 5 star crash. Not Great in snow, is the only down side, its very low to the ground.. Get a spare included in your deal...

[@christianxzowner2958]

One thing with you...i click like button before cuz i know im not disapointed ...good reviews!!🇯🇵👌

[@HonoluluBoy]

I picked up one of these about a month ago, the EX trim. Love it! I came out of a 10th gen Civic EX-T and I feel this was a great upgrade!

[@jamesgand828]

Most people (including myself) hate the lane watch camera. I like the traditional one where you get an indicator instead of my infotainment system changing screens to the right hand camera. They need to change that.

[@tubetop123]

OMG the seats fold down??!!! NO WAY!!! Safety sense standard? Hybrid? Wowow Toyota had done this in Prius like eons ago!! Shaking my head.

[@umaxen0048]

The headlights are FANTASTIC money makers. I bet each one of those is about $700...

[@dogutzy9247]

I love everything about that car, except the placement of the rear turn signals and the hybrid badges, I have a 2017 Honda Civic ex and I really think that they are quite similar, I love it

[@1Sanantoniomatute]

My 2nd gen Insight is suppossed to be 42mpg combined. I actually average 48.3 with the ECON button. I'm thinking 60mpg for this one is quite realistic.

[@shawnz241]

This might be the car that replaces our 14 Accord! I prefer it to the 18 Accord on so many levels.

[@FirstHillSeattle]

Funny I have a '14 accord that just got paid off, and I was thinking the same thing!

[@evanaudas4408]

Oh wow I am so glad that the insight is back!!! I have the 2014 model which was told to me was the last model being produced, and also was the last.

[@renkcel]

THANKS HONDA PRO, I OWN A 2010 EX WITH 230000 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER, NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM VERY HAPPY!!! I AM QUITE USED TO THE WAY MY 2010 DRIVES, I JUST HOPE THE NEW MODEL IS NOT TO DIFFERENT IN DRIVE ASPECTS!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO A TEST DRIVE!!!!

[@williamlevy1981]

There needs to be more Hybrid Acuras ASAP. I'm thinking my new car will be an Insight or an RDX.

[@sunbirgill5990]

Just remember you take a hit at grown man speeds. My 2006 TSX gets 35 mpg at 78 mph over 500 miles, and that’s on one tank because it doesn’t have a dinky tank like the newer Hondas. It’s 17 gallons, same as that generation TL. It has all the same features as newer cars except the safety features and smart phone play. The 2.4L is one of the best ever made, and you can pick something similar for about $4k. That notwithstanding, if I had to get a new car, the Insight would be a lovely daily driver and looks sleek AF.

[@siopowar]

Im seeing a pattern with the Insight. They're getting bigger with every generation, with the size going between the main models.

[@gp2003gt]

One question Jason, when do they appear on the dealer floors?

[@jdiaz2127]

Should have made this the body for the civic or the accord. Looks better than both! It looks awesome!

[@neilr11]

Nice review, thanks! Can't wait to drive it.

[@MLProductions.1]

But looks wayyyyyy better then the previous insights

[@chadwickwood9843]

can't you pop those center caps out and re adjust them how you like anyway?

[@2005acurarl]

Car has a debut

[@chadwickwood9843]

What, no bromance with the honda pr guy this time?

[@k.s.5428]

My 2010 Insight takes 60mpg in Summer 😎

[@rafaljankowski2807]

so how do you replace 12V battery? $300 at dealer?

[@AMDGuy88]

I guess that's what they want you to do... Me ill just rip off that panel and get to it (TY HPJ i didn't know the 12v batt was in there)

[@mqbitsko25]

Same way you'd replace any other battery, I would assume.

[@paulcheek5711]

very good point

[@chaoand09]

Accord layout interior to dash and all the tech is way better in my opinion. Looks like they just put the buttons as if they didn’t care. I have the 2018 Sport and love it.

[@zainrashid7438]

Take the white part out of the tail lights looks like an Audi A4

[@b.f.378]

The tail lights are shaped like a BMW; the LED design in the tail lights remind me of an Audi A3.. This is a very nice looking car

[@jonathanbravo2166]

Youre the best honda Pro Jason!!

[@JakeLo1991]

Can the sunroof open?

[@cvillarrealb]

It recharges using regenerative braking, and also, with a gas fueled generator. Down the hill you don’t need to watch your speed or wasting your brake pads, just use the paddles on the steering wheel and the car will be sort of breaking, not using the brake pads though, but charging your battery at the same time. I drove at 72 mph on EV with no problem. It just doesn’t last for too long. I truly love this car. If you don’t see it too much on the streets, it’s because for some reason Honda doesn’t advertise it at all. Weird

[@paulaj.newman5121]

So tell me exactly how does the battery work , ? Do you have to plug it in to charge it up ? If so how long do you have to leave it plugged into charger for ? And how long does a charge last ? How long does the battery last ?

[@JakeLo1991]

Because of this convenient “charge while driving” ability, the 2019 Honda Insight does not have to be plugged in. The motor generates all the electric power needed to charge.

[@AsianSparrow]

I gonna wait for HONDA insight 2030 😁

[@GameHEADtime]

Yeah I have the lane sight camera so useful!

[@MOBMJ]

This luxury car it looks great I want you but I can’t drive yet

[@MohammedAbdulHaiZahid]

in 2019 they should come up with a plug in hybrid instead of just hybrid. I am so sad for a great model with old technology. Honda love your car but I still have to wait.

[@sphilip8366]

Also how many keys do they give? The dealer gave only one key

[@JakeLo1991]

Same here dude.

[@Vencarter]

Been a year with mine, went with the 2021 EX and average around 48-52 mpg with 70% fwy driving on my daily commute. Filling up around 50 mile range is around $40 every 3 to 4 weeks in california during FJB gas prices, not too bad.

[@TheJohnClay]

I got the 2021 model. I use ethanol free gas and get ~60 mpg.

[@CHATO629]

Mr HondaPro Jason, do U know if the Insight will be available in the Burgandy Night Pearl?

[@williamceliu3065]

Why do you need a 12V traditional battery when you have a full on battery for the hybrid system?

[@marktuyet]

it looks nice . my next vehicle will be a hybrid sedan .

[@ryanloveshonda]

Great job Jason I don't how I feel about it yet

[@RandomBrosHDTV]

It's a great car!

[@andrewlee3981]

Great video man

[@teopirgaru3151]

very low sales for new Accord? because of Insight?

[@McWrisk]

Vtec Tan I have driven an Accord since 2011 likely won't get another with this thing out. But who knows the accord is still bigger so will have to drive both

[@asatsumaorange9296]

Vtec Tan, I doubt potential 2018 Accord buyers are waiting for the 2019 Insight. I think it's internal competition from the Civic, CR-V, etc., and external competition from Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, and GM.

[@podunkis]

I'm on my third Accord, and while I do think the new Insight is pretty compelling, there is a pretty big difference in size. I can easily fit my bike in the Accord's trunk, pushing it through the fold-down seat opening if I take the front wheel off. I can hide the entire bike in the trunk if I take both tires off (which only takes about a minute). The insight trunk looks quite a bit smaller, so that could be a deal-breaker. I'll find out this summer!

[@KC-ki6ez]

Why am I averaging 40mpg instead of 52? I drive with Econ on all the time and I am not a reckless driver. I use A/C at room temperature with 1-2 bars. What’s going on here?

[@chevyfordmeister38]

I rode in an insight on the way to work today. I gotta say I'd take a Honda insight over a Ford Fusion.

[@therealtmac0001]

A volume knob!!!!!!!!! Come on Honda, add it to the 2019 Civic!

[@flyrcm]

My 2010 Honda Insight easily gets 700 Km on one tank of 40L with winter tires in low winter temperature. With low roll resistance tires in summer, it will get 25% more mileage. Since it slow down by recapturing energy through the motor before engaging the brake system, I just changed my first set of brake pad after 250K km.

[@karmawillfinditswaytoyou]

I want this one😍

[@serdarayturk1762]

Thanks Jason

[@benyo4652]

Still missing blind spot detection and HD radio!

[@timterrell8678]

2022 has them in both trims.

[@Z3rst0ren]

I have to stop watching these videos. I cannot afford it XD

[@boti_the_hun]

Nice job Jay

[@williamlevy1981]

The trunk reminds me of my 2000 Honda Accord EX-L V6 sedan.

[@SuperStaley]

So glad they brought back Lane Watch. Not sure why they skipped it on the Accord....

[@bryanb2541]

You ‘forgot’ to show the spare tire... oh wait, the insight no longer has a spare. Honda removed it to save MPGs good luck if you have a blowout.. better get AAA

[@duaneafields]

just put one in the trunk, h3ll, put 2 or 3 tires in the trunk. don't forget your snap on floor jack also.

[@aryehrosenthal2138]

Are they bringing back the lane watch camera on every Honda?

[@BHondo86]

The fits had the center caps opposite of the valve stem.

[@nicholaslandolina]

That means it's got a one way valve and a cap

[@nicholaslandolina]

Other wise the pressure would escape

[@HondaProJason]

So the new Civic Type R has a gas cap also but other Civics do not. The Old Civic Type R does not have one 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@WhittyPics]

The Insight was here before and discontinued. This one looks bigger than the one they made before. What about price and acceleration?

[@ritikmehta5902]

Is this going to launch as honda city in india 2019?

[@Fadic4]

The rear end is a Chrysler 200.

[@joeminoso1554]

THE next CIVIC , WATCH

[@XMadAntzX]

The only downsides to this car that I've found are 1) Honda Sensing tries to kill me on a monthly basis, 2) No spare tire and 3) when the side camera activates it cancels any voice commands you may be doing at the time.

[@MeimeiLovesmusic]

I'm female and don't know too much about cars and love this vidoe and I'm buying this car! I'm shopping now for it. I wonder if I wait till 2019 after Christmas would the price be lower?

[@captaindave88]

I'm going for the Honda Clarity plugin hybrid and federal rebate of $5000 in Canada

[@alizabegum220]

Are all 2019 Honda insights hybrid?

[@muhammadumer8762]

Nyc video but you forget to tell about sun roof parking sensors and air bags👍

[@saadajmal6612]

Also the auto dimming back view mirror which is still missing in the base variants of Accord

[@fantomtuba]

Can you go over why and how the gasoline lines are pressurized?

[@EKTORF]

So the LaneWatch camera is just on the right side mirror?

[@MrSayonara88]

i cant wait to know the 0-60 and also the road noise/wind noise

[@Fadic4]

Lanewatch is not really "back"... The insight is just based more on the Civic which still has lanewatch. Any updated Honda model will no longer have lanewatch.

[@rohitzalte9840]

Any expected launching Date and price?

[@silbah4563]

Ive been only getting 38mpg with my insight.. resets every fillup

[@nnennao5888]

It depends on what speed you drive. Its built for the city not the highway. The highway gas mileage is unimpressive but the city gas mileage is awesome. Sometimes I get 65mpg and more within the city.

[@1Road2Success]

I’m only getting 37mpg with this. I’m curious to know what other people are getting with it.

[@Dosloepva]

I have a 2019 Touring model and I average 50mpg mixed city/highway. I keep it in Econ mode and have learned to watch the power guage and adjust my driving style to get the most out of it.
