Pretty excited, it drives a lot like my old CRX only it's 10 year newer and gets way better gas mileage.
It will practically pay for itself over my previous daily driver IS300.
can someone explain to me why all these e-cars have rear fenders that close off like that? Whats the idea behind that? Thanks.
What happened to the badge and the gap on the hood seems a bit uneven from the picture, could just be the angle you took the photo.
I thought about one of those but honestly I am afraid of the battery going bad :frown:
I really like the first generation of the Insight.

Awesome, you wouldn't happen to have floor mats would you?Very nice Insight. I had a 5 speed a year ago and got 65mpg consistently. I got the car for 3800 with a brand new battery from dealership as part of the warranty package.
While it was good, I got into an accident with it with a truck changing lane into me at 40mph. I hit the center median like a ping pong ball, bounced up and back down, front facing down. Both airbag deployed and I got a concussion, no serious injury. I am just glad I didn't get bounced onto the on coming traffic in the 1800 pounds tin can. I have attached some pictures for you to see the structural part of the front end.
Not to burst your bubble, I would drive very cautiously just like driving your NSX because the car is so light. If I can find another Insight, I might go for it again though.
The good news is, the parts are worth a lots of money and rare. I sold off most of the parts in two weeks that are in good condition for 4500 plus the junkyard took the chassis for 425. If I hold out longer for higher price, I will get more. I still have parts left over. I don't know where you are at but I have alot of interior parts that I can give you if yours are missing or dirty.

This thread got me interested to the point of searching for one on autotrader. Damn this car holds its value!!! There are only two available within 500 miles, and they cost from $7,000 to $9,000 still!!

I'm good friends with John the owner. He also built a CRZ and put a K-series in it. The car got better mileage and is much faster

Am I the only one who reads these threads by other Primers showing their newly-acquired cars, thinks they're cool, wants one, starts researching the models and looking at cars for sale?
Guess not!
:biggrin:
You guys are gonna cost me a lot of money one of these days.
Cool car, e.pie.

Wait... A k series in an insight gets better gas mileage than a stock insight?????
The original insight is an Uber-Cool Honda car. It is one of my all time favorites.
Sadly, Honda made a 2nd gen Insight that was so mediocre.
