The 2011 Honda Insight for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Honda Insight for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2011 Honda Insight before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
The 1.3L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 5.9 L/100 km works out to about 18 litres per 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $91.50 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Insight
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Size and space
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 453 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Insight for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Insight on your commute before you commit to it. Try the Insight on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$1,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $9.15 in fuel.
Let us know
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
