| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
For tall people, its a no go. Did not like it one bit and had to think about this short fall if I ever wanted to carry friends. Luckly I normally drive alone see full Honda Insight review |

This is a glaring issue with the Insight. Leg room is for children and my head hits the roof and a little bit of the rear hatch. There is a warning sticker about making sure go watch the heads of your rear seat passengers when closing the hatch. see full Honda Insight review |
