My son and I replaced our 2 Mazda 3's with cars in their class. We didn't consider the new generation of the Mazda 3, because they cut costs by switching from Independent Rear Suspension to Torsion Beam. We drove it and when pressed, the Torsion setup simply blows! My son opted for the Honda Hatchback Sport. As for me, I struggled between the Toyota Hatchback v. Honda Insight v. Honda Civic Coupe EX. The Toyota just couldn't cut it in the power and especially the handling. I just thought the Coupe was more me and truly the most fun to drive. Since my next car will be fully autonomous, "fun to drive" on this car is #1.
Got the 2021 Touring, couldnt be happier. Ample power, quiet cabin, smooth ride, oozing with safety techs. Most of all, milage savings is as claimed. Good job honda!
I like the Insight. The one thing it lacks that I would want is a digital readout speedometer. I like an exact speed readout so I can avoid tickets in even the strictest big city or notorious small town speed traps.
I have a 2020 Insight EX - a super value for a well-made hybrid sedan that truly gets great MPG - ...EX trim has a great price point with even better mileage (smaller tires) than the Touring Trim - plus you still get all the tech and styling (just no leather seats) - and your buying a Honda ( P.S. - Port Injection - no direct injection issues! ),... I don't care what others may say, I'd still rather have a Honda (or Toyota) than any competing budget Hybrids from Hyundai, Kia, Ford, GM, etc.
Yeeeeeeeessssssssss maaaaaan!!!!! Honestly I'm digging the recent Honda love you been showing Joe!!! #TeamHonda over here!!! This review was very ...insightful!!!

I had a new generation Honda Insight as a loaner car. The two main turnoffs for me were that the Insight's drivetrain just screamed when I needed power, and to exit it I had to grab unto the door frame and pull myself up out of it.
Cannot believe Honda only give lane watch on right side, not a good way to save money. They could remove it so nobody gives a F. But only giving it to the right people would pick on that.
An INTERESTING car. BEATS a PPRIAS as you said Joe any day. Looks nice and more comfortable than most Hybrids I have seen and ridden in.Great for people that want car-like comfort with high MPG,S. Joe and BIG GUNS MCGEE. thanks for bringing this to us. My viewers on blog etc I am sure will love this one. RIGHT ON and RIDE ON. I will see you on another ride!
I don’t trust anyone with car reviews except for you! I know you’ve done reviews on the Kia Forte GT and GT-Line but was wondering if you could do one on the EX trim. Would love to know your thoughts on the car!! As always, great review on the Insight!!
Hi Raiti Rides! Awesome review as always! Just want to ask how is the fuel consumption on this badboy? I’m thinking of buying for the main purpose as my daily. I’ll be driving 80 miles back and forth from work (freeway), want to save some money on gas.
Finally Honda Finally. They were one of the first to mass market hybrids but with their hideous Insight design back in 2000s that didnt take off well in sales. They had all the technology should have kept pushing. This definitely looks more appealing to buyers. This one might be the king of the hybrids
These manufacturers using the names Ecvt, Icvt etc. is funny.... it’s a CVT and the majority of us hate them and they know it so they’re playing games with E’s and I’s like we’re stupid... what an insult.
Nope, it uses regenerative braking. Basically a generator in the car that uses the kinetic energy produced by the movement of the wheels and engine to charge the battery
Usually we get a few little extras included, and say a car sells for$28,000 USD, might be $32,000 CND, if you compare exchange rates we get more value.
Nice 👍 one ☝️ joe the color is awesome the interior and those seats 💺 is cool 😎 nice control and good visibility and it have a lot off space the only thing that dipper sound is a little awful but the car is cool give it up to the camera 📸 man Lori your team and you joe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌✊✊✊👏👏💺💺😉😉😉💣💣🙏🙏🙏✅✅📸📸💯💯👊☝️👊👊✨✨🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
I really like the way the direct link works. Its what made me keep a gas engine instead of going electric. It kinda feels like an EV but still with noise and the convinence of gas stations.
This is a tough time for gas sippers with the price of gas less than 2 bucks a gallon. This Insight would fly out the door if the they priced gas at over 4 bucks - the real price minus the subsidies that the oil companies get. 👍
Can I ask.. why do manufacturers go fake vent versus functioning air curtain? Is that a cost thing? Design thing? Why not just punch those holes out and make it functional?? Haha.
Ya not even rear ac is a zonk. I considered this but the accord is just much better. It’s still a nice car thin the 2021 accord exl and high trims are the best.
Miss my insight this car is perfect for road trips went to Vegas on forty bucks lol crazy mpg, but unfortunately it was totaled on the highway thanks to a stupid DUI driver blocking both carpool lanes. This car saved my life and was getting compliments by passengers for the beautiful interior. Only downside was not adding the mugen exhaust and wireless charging and ventilated seats.
Laughing at the comment that cars in Canada seem to get more bells & whistles whereas we (in Canada) are constantly thinking “man, those Americans always get more stuff for their money”. Love the Chanel and your approach to car reviews man, keep it up!
Do you think Honda will ever release a hybrid civic hatchback? I’m tempted to get the insight but would rather wait a year or two if it meant I could have the hatchback ❤️ 🚗
Nice review, but in my opinion you have it wrong USA customers seems to have more options than Canadians. Thanks for the review considering the insight for my next purchase, had a prius years ago and totally hated the car in winter that’s what makes me nervous about hybrid in snow...
I've seen a white one with a saddle brown and black interior that looked delightful. Seems like a great daily although I doubt I could take it to 400k without great expense.
Say when are you going to do another live chat? I mean, I've been wanting to ask you a cool question on the previous chat you guys did, but I got nothing at all.
This is a great looking car. Unfortunately its a fully gasoline car. The hybrid in the vehicle means that it turns off the motor when at a stop, traffic signal, drive-thru, etc. This car literally has no solely electric range. Its less than a mile.
Joey ~ I'm glad it looks like a real car, even comes with headlights & everything lol. a couple of zonks with a few yippies > guess it's a balanced automobile. I learned very much from this report, thanks for bringing great content. - tony
I drive an 05 civic hybrid with 230.000 miles on the odometer thinking of upgrading to this my civic still runs great just want a new car with all the new features

i really love coming off work everyday and getting to sit down and watch some raitis rides🙏🏾💯
Thanks man! I am so glad that I can be there and share it with you!
This is what the rest of the Civic line should look like.
I agree with you!
They are going to reveal the 2022 Honda Civic tomorrow!
Agreed
This is the cross between Accord and Civic in terms of looks
You are so very right!
*I enjoy your content man! I also have an accord touring 2.0. Yeah the touring drives smooth & its beautiful either* 🤔😂✌️🤘
Got the 2021 Touring, couldnt be happier. Ample power, quiet cabin, smooth ride, oozing with safety techs. Most of all, milage savings is as claimed. Good job honda!
How has your MPG been?
I actually like the looks of this car. You can have a good looking car and get amazing gas milage.
True
Really sick video. Really would like to know the differences between a hybrid accord and an insight though, since I'm debating between the two
I like the Insight. The one thing it lacks that I would want is a digital readout speedometer. I like an exact speed readout so I can avoid tickets in even the strictest big city or notorious small town speed traps.
All speedometers are off.
@@RaitisRides GPS is not.
So stay 5 mph below.
lol it does have one
I have a 2020 Insight EX - a super value for a well-made hybrid sedan that truly gets great MPG - ...EX trim has a great price point with even better mileage (smaller tires) than the Touring Trim - plus you still get all the tech and styling (just no leather seats) - and your buying a Honda ( P.S. - Port Injection - no direct injection issues! ),...

I had a feeling you would be happy.
WAY better than previous Honda Insights. I really like the styling of this car. I think this is what the standard Civic should be like.
I had a new generation Honda Insight as a loaner car. The two main turnoffs for me were that the Insight's drivetrain just screamed when I needed power, and to exit it I had to grab unto the door frame and pull myself up out of it.
Are you out of shape?
I’ve owned a 2019 Insight Touring for over 2 years now and absolutely love it. For the money it’s a very hard car to beat!!
How much does it cost to fill up?
Nice little fuel sipper. Honda has something for everyone. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I am so glad that you liked this one Larry!

@@RaitisRides Joe. You are welcome! I am glad to be aboard!
@@LESTER7L1 That is so awesome!
@@RaitisRides Right on Jjoe! RIDE ON!!
I can still remember the first gen Insights with that half shown rear tires and I never understood why they did that.
I totally remember those as well! LOL
Maybe style or was it better aerodynamics.
I was waiting for you to make this video Joe Bc I just bought this car last month. Great video btw.
Congrats Mario!
My very first hybrid car! Amazing job Joe.
I don’t trust anyone with car reviews except for you! I know you’ve done reviews on the Kia Forte GT and GT-Line but was wondering if you could do one on the EX trim. Would love to know your thoughts on the car!! As always, great review on the Insight!!
I will get that together for you!
I always found this model to be the odd step child amongst the Civic and Accord. Tries to look like an Accord but feels like a Civic.
You are so very right!
What kind of MPG did you experience on your test Loop
The Honda Insight and Honda Civic really is quite beautiful 🔥🏎🇺🇸 Proudly Made in America!
This is very true!

You are so very right!
I’m all Toyota. But this insight has me looking I gotta say. There’s no Toyota hybrid/ plug in that are this nice.
Really hate the no ac and charging port in the back
Judging from the teasers of the next generation of Honda’s I think they’re more or less going to look like this insight..
The Tailight on this car is way nicer than Accord taillight
I agree with you!
Keep those great hybrid reviews coming!
These manufacturers using the names Ecvt, Icvt etc. is funny.... it’s a CVT and the majority of us hate them and they know it so they’re playing games with E’s and I’s like we’re stupid... what an insult.
It looks like a mix between an accord and a civic and that’s probably what the next generation civic will look like
The taillight is pretty much identical, Honda releases the teaser of new Civic, go check it out.
You hit the nail on the head!
@@kencai6803 This is very true.
I like this cars tail lights over the civic
So do you have to charge this also since it's a hybrid?
Nope, it uses regenerative braking. Basically a generator in the car that uses the kinetic energy produced by the movement of the wheels and engine to charge the battery
You seemed a little upset about Canada having more options for their vehicles when compared to the US 😁
Just a tad! LOL
Usually we get a few little extras included, and say a car sells for$28,000 USD, might be $32,000 CND, if you compare exchange rates we get more value.

I think you hit on some major points! We really appreciate you always watching!
Baaaaaarrrrrrr
Oh yeah!
Driving down the street be like zonk zonk!
Perferct!
Attractive gas saver but the CVT needs simulated gear shifts to mimic a conventional automatic. I know better than to wish it came in a manual.
I totally agree with you!
I really like the way the direct link works. Its what made me keep a gas engine instead of going electric. It kinda feels like an EV but still with noise and the convinence of gas stations.
After driving and reviewing both the Insight and Accord, which would you choose?
Nice video mate. Not a Japanese Car Fan. But reliable.
Thanks Tim!
I've had this car now for 4 years. 100,000 miles. No problems. Amazing car. Actually does 55 mpg. Love it.
Skipped this video before….but Now that I’m moving to Germany I need this MPG lol
This is a tough time for gas sippers with the price of gas less than 2 bucks a gallon. This Insight would fly out the door if the they priced gas at over 4 bucks - the real price minus the subsidies that the oil companies get. 👍
You are so very right about that! As we know thought what goes down will come back up. It's inevitable .
@@RaitisRides year later I’m here looking for a hybrid because gas is through the roof
Can I ask.. why do manufacturers go fake vent versus functioning air curtain? Is that a cost thing? Design thing? Why not just punch those holes out and make it functional?? Haha.
We don't even have this car in Canada
Ya not even rear ac is a zonk. I considered this but the accord is just much better. It’s still a nice car thin the 2021 accord exl and high trims are the best.
We got a winner maybe 🤔
I think you may be right!
There only minus that is no wireless charging and no connectivity on the back seats. I want this car🙂
Miss my insight this car is perfect for road trips went to Vegas on forty bucks lol crazy mpg, but unfortunately it was totaled on the highway thanks to a stupid DUI driver blocking both carpool lanes. This car saved my life and was getting compliments by passengers for the beautiful interior. Only downside was not adding the mugen exhaust and wireless charging and ventilated seats.
Thanks for sharing that great input for your ownership.
Did insurance give you money to replace car?
Magen exhaust?
No USB or vents in the back is a buzzkill.
so, there is still the old system from the Insight . I think i will stay with a nice Corolla 2.0 Hybrid Hatchback in 2 colours
thats a gorgeous looking car
Laughing at the comment that cars in Canada seem to get more bells & whistles whereas we (in Canada) are constantly thinking “man, those Americans always get more stuff for their money”. Love the Chanel and your approach to car reviews man, keep it up!
The 2021 Insight now has full blind spot monitoring instead of the camera for the right side on the 2019/2020 and nothing for the driver side mirror.
I wish you would bring some boxes or bins to show the cargo/trunk space better.
For the love of God can Honda please redesign the location of the turn signals on the taillights!
Does the Honda insight have adaptive dampers like the accord?
I’d buy one. I’m not a huge fan of Honda but I don’t hate them either.
Thanks for sharing that great input!
@@RaitisRides Your Welcome. It’s always important to share opinions even when you don’t agree with them.
Eh... Ill pass on this car. Extremely boring.
How are you Joe? What a great "Insight" to this vehicle.
I see what you did there LOL
@@raymondali3688 Lol, I just thought of that!
I see what you did there!

Execelent Great video buddy!! A gallon of soda. Lol !
Canada has standard rear heated seats
They always get more features Tyler.
@@RaitisRides Butt it can get freaking cold here, you don't want to freeze your assets.
This is basically the new 2021 Honda Civic
Joe, do you like the Insight or the Corolla Hybrid better?
You're right about Canada Joe most of the time they get a Model A year ahead of ours there for having a few more features or a refresh first
Nice review, but in my opinion you have it wrong USA customers seems to have more options than Canadians.
Thanks for the review considering the insight for my next purchase, had a prius years ago and totally hated the car in winter that’s what makes me nervous about hybrid in snow...

I feel like Honda should make this car a little bigger and market it as a car for ride sharing services and a family car.
I've seen a white one with a saddle brown and black interior that looked delightful. Seems like a great daily although I doubt I could take it to 400k without great expense.
This is very true Toby!
@@RaitisRides Hey it's nice when someone agrees so thanks! Dear Toyota and Honda. Please make a hybrid to go 400k without major expense.
