2011 Honda Insight Hatchback

The Honda Insight is a compact,hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle that was first introduced for the 1999 model year. While small in overall stature,and with a unique design,the original Insight,produced through the 2006 model year,earned a fuel economy rating of 61 mpg on the highway,according to the EPA. After a three model-year absence,the second-generation Honda Insight debuted for the 2010 model year. More traditionally styled,the new 4-door competes against the Toyota Prius. The 2011 model year welcomes a new base model,including new features and standard stability control.

The 2011 Honda Insight is offered in three different models: Base,LX,and EX. Standard equipment on base models includes cloth upholstery,air conditioning with automatic climate control,full power accessories,tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel,trip computer,2-speaker audio system,15-inch steel wheels,and more. The upgraded Insight LX model adds standard cruise control,floor mats,center armrest and storage compartment,4-speaker audio system,and an iPod/USB music interface. The Insight EX includes steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles and audio controls,vanity mirrors on the visors,heated exterior mirrors,15-inch alloy wheels,and the audio system is upgraded to 6 speakers. Major options on the 2011 Honda Insight include Bluetooth phone connectivity and a satellite-based navigation system.

The sole power plant in the 2011 Honda Insight is a hybrid gasoline-electric system featuring a 1.3-liter,4-cylinder gasoline engine. It is mated to an electric motor that draws electricity from a nickel-metal hydride battery pack. Total combined system output is 98 horsepower,according to Honda. Power is sent to the Insight?s front wheels through a standard,continuously variable transmission (CVT). The EPA rates the fuel economy of the 2011 Honda Insight between 40 mpg city and 43 mpg highway.

The 2011 Honda Insight starts at a base price of around $18,200 and tops out with the EX model with Navigation,which starts around $23,200.

Category Definitions

Performance and Design: Taken from the Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) study, this measure is based on owner satisfaction with vehicle Performance, Style, Features and Instrument Panel, and Comfort.

Initial Quality: Taken from the Initial Quality Study (IQS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction, or where controls or features may work as designed, but are difficult to use or understand.

Predicted Reliability: Derived from historical trending for a vehicle and/or manufacturer in our Initial Quality and Vehicle Dependability Studies, Predicted Reliability is a forecast of how reliable a newer vehicle might be over time.

Overall Dependability: Taken from the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 3 years of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction of any component, feature, or item (i.e., components that stop working or trim pieces that break or come loose).
