The number of choices for the dash display and helpful information is excellent. They really help motivate better driving habits, and I notice these habits transfer to other vehicles I drive and help improve mpg in those vehicles also. Interior space is pretty well thought out with extra storage near the spare tire(great that it has a spare tire and not just a cheap repair kit). With the split folding seats folded, and front seats fully forward—an unthinkable position to drive in—there is over six feet of space from the back of the front seats, to the rear hatch. The multiple positions of the steering wheel—telescoping and up/down—and general feeling of the size/shape of the wheel are very good .

Negatives: The steering is very responsive. This is a negative in my thinking because it feels like I could easily bump the vehicle off course, and I cannot just ease back and let the car roll along. The drivers seat needs a small cushion because it becomes uncomfortable on long drives—60+ miles. The climate controls take a little to get used to, and are more complicated than a simpler three knob type structure—temp, air direction, fan speed. The center back seat would be extremely difficult to ride in for anyone over 5’7” because of headroom, and difficult for anyone on a long ride because of comfort—a pronounced hump exists.

Last two things. There are numerous comparisons of this vehicle to the Prius, and surprisingly most were in favor of the Prius during this model year. The worst model year for the Prius is the 2010–read about engine problems in expert reviews. I have driven the Prius and find the driver seat a little more comfortable. In the 2012-2014 Honda Insight models, they also had severe engine problems—I would advise against the purchase of any Insight during these years.

Final thought—the 2010-2011 Honda Insights are available at much less cost than comparable Prius, the Insight looks far better and is more fun to drive(opinion) and the mpg are very similar. I think it is a wise purchase.
