2021 Honda Insight POV Test Drive

[@slicklizardchamp]

I bought a 2019 civic sport and love it but if I had to trade it in for something this is probably what I’d get. Basically like a hybrid civic, looks like it drives incredibly smooth and is very quiet and gas efficient!

[@PreludeSon]

Nice POV, it puts the viewers in the driver's perspective as if I'm driving it....awesome job.

[@Iegend17]

Thank you so much. I put the seat all the way down so you guys can see the steering wheel and everything. Unlike other POV test drives :) glad you liked it

@@Iegend17 Woh....that I didn't know...this makes it even crazier...awesome

[@canpin]

Got the same 2021 touring 2 months ago. Cant be happier. The car is awesome!

[@Iegend17]

It’s truly an amazing car! I enjoyed driving the insight more than the accord hybrid.

[@snowmt-z9f]

How is the mpg?

[@canpin]

@@snowmt-z9f mpg is is doing as advertised.

[@hondacr-vtouringguy8327]

Thank god it doesn’t have the 2021 Accord chime

[@patwickgriff]

There's nothing out there that drives as good as a Honda. Such outstanding engineering and quality is baked into the chassis (foundation), steering and suspension. When driving it is so refined, polished and solid. It's hard to describe unless you go and experience it first hand. After you drive one everything else just feels inferior.

[@erenjeager5290]

Most definitely in the market for something like a Honda Accord Sport 2018

[@aluisious]

You seriously trying to tell me my Cadillac doesn't drive as good as a Honda? LOL you're dreaming.

[@T80990]

@@aluisious and you’re telling me a Cadillac drives as good as the German manufacturers like BMW, Audi, Mercedes, even Porsche?

[@jeffreymadia1725]

Cadillac is still a GM car ,nfg

car is awesome !!!!!!! love it i have honda insight but 2014

[@alf6633]

I have a 2020 EX - The Insight isn't luxury car quiet, but, its all relative...for a budget hybrid, it's a tremendous value. I like that he kept it in Sport Mode - its surprisingly peppy (for a Hybrid) in Sport Mode. EV mode is useless, really. I LOVE my Insight

[@JJ-cg3rn]

In my opinion the Insight (EX especially) is one of the best values out there. The fact that it is a hybrid and gets 55-60 mpg’s makes it just that much better. Honda should be selling a lot more of these, I don’t understand it myself. Compared to the Civic or even an Accord, I feel it’s a better value. Just my opinion...

[@Blank00]

When do you think the Insight will switch from the "WhatsApp" startup chime to the new startup chime that sounds like Mitsubishi's startup chime?

[@johny5883]

Can you use the ac on ev mode and the engine won’t turn on ?

[@googleit1131]

Great video! Im going soon to test drive one.

[@Iegend17]

Thank you!

[@melodymashup]

About how fast did you get this car up to on the highway? I commute to work daily 70% of the time on the highway and in my car now I do anywhere from 80 to 90 because it's so early and no nobody's on the road. Would this car struggle doing 80 to 85 on the highway every day???

[@cool7654321]

me too, good question

[@rylans.5365]

No it wouldn’t. Hybrids have more power than you think, given the combo between the gas and electric motor

[@shafayetabid4886]

Which camera did you use for doing this video?

[@Iegend17]

GoPro 7. I used the 10 now. It’s definitely better

[@yanskr2659]

Awesome car

[@erenjeager5290]

Would you recommend this over a Honda Accord? I’m in the market for a Honda Accord Sport 2018 but I might wait for this if you believe it to be better. Please lemme know man!!

[@Iegend17]

They aren’t the same tbh. I owned a 2018 accord 2.0t and I loved it but the insight is completely. It actually drives better than the accord hybrid 🤭 I think the insight is amazing. The accord is bigger if you have friends and kids. But insight is perfect. Fit and finish is amazing and it’s a well put together. It feels solid and quick for a hybrid. Faster than the 1.5t accord

[@erenjeager5290]

@@Iegend17 I appreciate your response man. It’s just gonna be me and my girl but I’m really trying to get my hands on an Insight now lol. Love the content bro ❤️

[@jeffreymadia1725]

Good luck have one on deposit coming, in 1 more week

[@hemiplow1297]

​@@Iegend17what do you think about the Honda clarity phev? Would the insight be nicer and does the engine drone alot?

[@gerardistephens5142]

Are the cameras better than the Mazda 6?

[@Iegend17]

Honestly about the same

Is apple carplay wireless or wired only?

Wired

[@clover7359]

I'm intrigued by the technology but the Honda Fit does everything I need, I still get 45 MPG, and it was $6k cheaper than the cheapest insight. I would have been very happy with this car though.

[@robinleach5693]

Bud cmon be real say how it is, there's clearly a ton of wind noise just say it how it is

[@aryan.r4126]

It’s a hybrid that’s how they are you only notice it because there isn’t any engine noise.

[@Iegend17]

Bro trust me there is non. It’s my GoPro. I promise you. I wouldn’t lie. Try it yourself and let me know.

[@robinleach5693]

O ok ok makes sense maybe you guys are right

[@Iegend17]

@@robinleach5693 no joke after your comment I went to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and went on eBay and amazing to see if I can find an external mic for my GoPro. I don’t want people to think I am lying lol.

[@EdPMur]

Compared to other cars, wind noise sounds very minimal

DO NOT BUY THIS FUCKING LEMON!!!!! I purchased the 2022 Insight Touring package three weeks ago. I purchased it for a daily driver and for road trips around Oregon, specifically to Mt Hood where my family has a tiny ski cabin. With guests in the vehicle, it is unable to achieve and maintain highway speeds without the engine redlining with any more than one person in the car. It can barely make it up the 2-3% graded area, and I was terrified to try the 6% graded area. It felt INCREDIBLY unsafe and underpowered. My brother and I both thought something was slipping. The engine revs dramatically and almost no power is sent to the wheels. I have no idea how I can use it to carpool. If you know the Portland area, it struggles to get up the west hills of through the tunnel up to Skyline on the way to Beaverton with just me (155 lbs). If I had two people or more in the car, I would feel horribly unsafe. I took it to the shop and they said it was working as designed. This is completely unacceptable! If you live in a completely flat area or only drive on city streets, yeah it will probably be fine. If you have any hills whatsoever, you are fucked.
