Thinking of buying the 2002 Honda Insight?

A buyer's checks

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the figures tell you
Under the hood: the 1.0L 3-cylinder hybrid and front-wheel drive. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated 4.4 L/100 km combined: about 13 litres every 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $6.82 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Insight
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Space, size and seats
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
A longer test drive
Rent the Insight for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$1,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $6.82 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
