Honda Insight Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Honda Insight rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Honda Insight reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Honda Insight--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.

Honda Insight Repair Histories

To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Honda Insight repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Think you might have a lemon, and want to see if other owners are having similar problems? Then this is the place to check.

Honda Insight Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Honda Insight's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

If you are unsure about the Honda Insight's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Honda Insight Gas Mileage

Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Honda Insight's gas mileage in the real-world.

"Why (Not) the Honda Insight?" Reviews

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Insight--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Honda Insight review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Honda Insight Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Honda Insight tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Honda Insight--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
