If you are looking for an affordable hybrid, than the 2011 Honda Insight is the hybrid for you. The Honda Insight was named a 2011 Top Green Car by Kelley Blue Book for the third consecutive year. This comes as no surprise, as the Honda Insight was one of the first electric hybrid cars. The car also has a smooth, comfortable ride.
Model Lineup
The 2011 Honda Insight is available in three different models: the base model Insight, Insight LX, and Insight EX. The base Insight starts off below $20,000 and still has all the instrumentation of the other two models. It aids you in getting the best fuel economy--up to 43 mpg. The next step up, the Insight LX, adds cruise control, floor mats, and a USB Audio Interface that allows you to play your MP3 player. At the top of the lineup is the Insight EX. When you choose the EX model, it adds alloy wheels, audio controls on the steering wheel, paddle shifters, and an optional navigation system. The navigation system includes a Bluetooth Hands Free system for your cell phone.
Economy Minded
Honda built the Insight with the economy in mind. Honda has made every attempt to build this car to get the most out of every piece. For example, the design itself was engineered with advanced aerodynamic technology to help with its amazing fuel efficiency. Not only does the Honda Insight brag with 43 mpg, but it also has an attractive price point. The base model starts at $18,200, and the luxury EX model with the voice-activated navigation is only slightly more expensive.
The 2011 Honda Insight is a great value for anyone looking for an electric hybrid. The Insight’s futuristic style is very appealing.
