The Insight was the first mass-produced hybrid automobile sold in the United States, achieving 70 miles per US gallon per its original EPA fuel efficenty rating.
The 2000 Insight ranks as the most efficient EPA certified gasoline-powered vehicle ever, with a highway rating of 61 miles per US gallon and combined city/highway rating of 53 miles per US gallon. Based on the Honda J-VX concept car, the insight features optimized aerodynamics and a lightweight aluminum structure to maximize fuel efficiency. The car listed has a lifetime fuel efficiency of 53.8 mpg (that's steadily increasing) over 128,800 miles with an average of 60 mpg in a daily commute and a best tank of 70 mpg. This is a great original mileage first gen 5-speed insight. I have found this first Gen Honda Insight to be a great machine that's fun to drive. The detail on this car shows! The body is very nice, and the paint shines! The 1.0 liter 3 cylinder 67 HP gasoline engine that can run in lean burn conditions and is assisted by the 10 kW (13 HP) pancake electric motor. The electric motor is a flat 3-phase electric drive assist motor that takes the place of a standard flywheel. The Insight uses a series hybrid system, where the electric motor assists the gasoline motor when requested instead of a parallel hybrid system (such as the prius). The electric motor powers the hybrid only when the hybrid controller requests more power. This setup allows a very efficient motor to achieve excellent gas mileage and has extra power from the electric assist. The extra MIMA system really brings out the fun in this car and let you control the Integrated Motor Assist system. The interior is in great condition and the spare tire is filled and the original tools are included. The seats and rugs are in good condition and show normal wear; the steering wheel, dash, headliner, door panels, trunk carpeting, etc have no rips or heavy wear. The tires are 165/65 R14 Michelin Energy Savers and ride smooth at the maintained recommended pressure of 38 psi with plenty of tread. The tires are rated up to 51 psi to boost your maximum fuel efficiency. The door seal rubber is intact, with no rips (around the doors, rear hatch, hood, etc.) Mechanically, everything works on the car. It performs flawlessly, gets into and holds lean burn perfectly, does not leak or burn any fluids at all, and is a super smooth rider. The IMA system maintains the battery charge and discharge exactly as it should. It assists and regens as expected when the MIMA system is turned off. When MIMA is turned on, the stock IMA works as expected until you take control. Two joysticks mounted on the e-brake and stick shift allow you to take over the electric power of the IMA system. In the start-up mode of MIMA, you are able to manually control the IMA system to perform as you want under your control. When you release the joysticks in this mode, the IMA system takes over and works like the stock system. In the other two modes of MIMA, you can program the system to react to changing conditions as you want. A well programmed MIMA system (or PIMA) can produce 70, 80 MPG or better with a little practice. Competitions have produced fuel efficiencies greater than 100 MPG using this system. Using the Manual Integrated Motor Assist (MIMA) and cycling the battery pack helps to maintain the best integrity of the system. The 144 Volt 6.5 Amp battery pack is charged while using MIMA to charge more when coasting down hills and coming up to stops. Regular MIMA charging the pack peaks and equalizes the cells within the pack. This is good for the battery, and prolongs it's life and health. The car has the owners manual, two keys, two remotes and a valet key. The clutch and 5-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and quickly. The accessories work great; the A/C is ice cold and the heat is toasty; the standard equipment is in great condition including the fan, power windows, power locks, turn signals, headlights taillights, all the dash gauges including the three trip meters (A, B and FCD), horn, stock Honda am/fm/cassette stereo, speakers, rear trunk release actuator, rear trunk lock, hatch struts. All jack equipment and spare tire are in place and in good shape. This car is as nice as they come. These first gen 5-speeds are fun to drive, and even more fun when you realize you only go thru about 10 gallons of gas, every 600+ miles! I encourage you to come look and drive the car yourself. I will provide additional pictures of the interior, engine, MIMA, etc on request, just let me know. This car will ship anywhere in the continental US. Thank you for your time This item is listed in other sites. Seller may remove listing if vehicle is sold through another site. |

Race recap: 2016 Belgian Grand Prix is a dozen angry laps
Mon, Aug 29 2016The calm of the Formula One summer break ended with the tumult of the Belgian Grand Prix. The first two days included unusual tire pressures and grid penalties; Mercedes-AMG Petronas' Lewis Hamilton started 21st because of a 55-place grid penalty for engine and gearbox changes, McLaren's Fernando Alonso started 22nd due to a 60-place penalty for the same offenses. The bedlam rolled right into what was effectively an 11-or 12-lap race. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg took off from pole and the cameras barely bothered with him until he took the checkered flag 44 laps later. Red Bull's Max Verstappen bogged from second on the grid, got swallowed by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen on the way to Turn 1, then attempted to recover by sticking his Red Bull's nose between Raikkonen's sidepod and the apex at the first corner. Vettel, who didn't see Verstappen, turned into La Source leaving only enough room for Raikkonen. Three cars don't fit in a space for two cars. Vettel spun, Raikkonen and Verstappen clobbered one another and all three drivers had to pit for repairs. Force India's Nico Hulkenberg zig-zagged his way into second ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, Williams' Valtteri Bottas, and Sergio Perez in the second Force India. On Lap 6 Kevin Magnussen lost his Renault at Raidillon at the top of Eau Rouge and flew backward into an enormous crash. Magnussen escaped with just a cut ankle. The Safety Car paraded the field for four laps before officials red flagged the race to repair the barriers. When racing resumed on Lap 10, Rosberg led Ricciardo, Hulkenberg, Alonso, and Hamilton. Ricciardo stayed ahead of Hamilton to keep second place at the end of the race, Hamilton easily got around Alonso and Hulkenberg to lock up third. Hulkenberg – who'd given up second to Ricciardo by pitting during the Safety Car period – earned another career-best fourth position ahead of teammate Perez in fifth, followed by Vettel and Alonso on recovery drives, Bottas, Raikkonen, and Felipe Massa taking 10th in the second Williams. Rosberg reignited his Driver's Championship charge with the victory, closing to nine points of leader Hamilton. We could argue that Hamilton had an equally good day by driving from 21st to third, limiting his loss to only 10 points. About that Verstappen, though... We've seen far more experienced drivers attempt the same move Verstappen made into Turn 1 – Raikkonen on Bottas in Russia in 2015, for instance.
