This thing (Honda Insight) isn't exactly what I'd want in a car. For one, If the electrical engine battery goes dead on a long trip, your only left with a 3-cylinder 1 litre gas engine which to say the least, is gutless. second, this car has hardly any room for cargo on the inside. Personally, I wouldn't drive a car less powerful than a Civic (which has a back seat and a trunk). I'm not saying this car is bad, you just have to know what you need in a car and how much room and power it has to fill those demands. If you're just looking for a commuter, this would do the trick, but if you're looking for something with plenty of room for vacation luggage, you'll be disappointed. Not to mention, are there any mechanics who can work on a gas electric hybrid in your area? Not every Honda dealer would know how to fix it. Even a few of the ones that sell it won't know how to fix it. I'm not saying this car is bad, but before you buy it make sure it meets every requirement you have and that the dealer can fix it. Otherwise you'll be disappointed and have a car that no one in your area knows how to fix.
