The 2008 2009 Honda Insight hybrid is powered by Honda's Integrated Motor Assist system, a technology that pairs a 3-cylinder VTEC-E engine with an electric motor for up to 500 miles per fill-up at the pump. At a time when gas prices rise every day, fuel efficiency is more important than ever before. With that in mind, the 2008 2009 Honda Insight hybrid combines the alternate power generation with unique style for a ride that's totally new. What's more, the Insight hybrid looks great, with a futuristic style reminiscent of the Jetsons or a similar futuristic ideal. We have prepared this 2008 2009 Honda Insight hybrid review in the hopes to educate you about this new technology. We hope you enjoy it.

The Integrated Motor Assist system boasts a 1.0-liter, I3, 67-horsepower, hybrid engine whose mileage specs are 61-mpg in the city and 68-mpg on the highway. To this, the Insight links a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive as standard equipment, and an optional Continuously Variable Transmission if you are interested in even more sophisticated technology. Other features include:

• Rack and Pinion Steering



• Anti Lock Brakes



• Independent front and rear suspension



• Cruise Control

In the future, we expect there to be a 4-passenger Honda Insight sedan to bring the hybrid concept to a larger family. We expect this model to improve Insight performance even more. All Insight reviews note the car's style, and the Insight looks good, inside and out. On the outside, sleek form blends with elegant function to create the 2008 2009 Honda Insight hybrid's unique style. Standard features include:

• Power mirrors

There are even a number of 2008 2009 Honda Insight accessories, such as cupholder / ashtray, cargo bags, and cargo mats, to name a few. With features like these, one thing is clear - the Honda Insight hybrid means business.

Safety is an issue with the Honda Insight as well, and as you might expect, safety technology in the Insight is state of the art. Front and rear crush zones, dual side-impact door beams, a rigid, box-sectioned cabin floor help protect the occupants. Other standard safety features, such as reinforced hexagonal frame extrusions, an antilock braking system, dual front airbags and 3-point seat belts with an automatic tensioning system are further arrayed in your defense against the uncertainties of the outside world.
