But what are you getting for those prices? Well, a lot of changes for one, especially in terms of the Insight which first premiered in 2006. Now the Insight is much more practical. It is a four door hatchback which can fit up to five passengers — much roomier than the original, which was a mere two seater.

The car uses the Integrated Motor Assist system favored by Honda. It combines a thirteen horsepower electric motor with a 1.3 liter gas engine. A continual variable transmission is attached to all of it. The combination of the motor and the engine generates ninety height horsepower for 123 pounds per feet of torque; the fuel economy is more than forty miles per gallon.
