I have a 2000 Honda Insight, manual transmission. I have read a couple of posts and 1 website about replacing the front disc brake pads. Seems easy enough....
Gary, Here's my $.02: 1. You can do the front brakes without pics as long as you have a big wrench to get the bolts out. I think it was 19mm?. Once the...
I have read some mixed reveiews about the 2006 Civic Hybrid re: fuel efficiency but would rather hear what owners on this list think about the vehicle. What ...
Traded my '01 Insight in on an '06 HCH at the very end of February. Current tank is sitting at about 48MPG. Overall 'lifetime' is at about 44.5 (at just over...
Ollie, If you are going to compare Insights vs 2006 Civics, yes, the Insight still gets better mileage. Probably always will. The Civic gives you comfort and...
Excellent points! You're right...I do remember something about brakes automatically adjusting...that was the job of that wheel gear in the brake hardware...
My experience with the 2006 CH is quite similar to Jim's (quoted below), but we have less than 2000 miles on it so far. I've been watching the charge/assist...
Mine behaves the same. It seems like it's constantly 'polling' the battery for a SOC. I've not seen mine drop below 50% either. One thing I do notice, when...
Sort of. I've seen it give full assist while accelerating on to the freeway at about 3000 rpm, at which point pressing the go pedal more resulted in more...
While listening to Bob Brinker's radio show last weekend, he had an automobile industry spokesperson (sorry, forgot his name) who talked at length about why...
Take it to the dealer and stamp your pretty little foot and make them fix it. Phil Smith At six years, but only 33 k mi, my little Insight is misbehaving. I...
... I rarely see a 100% battery level even after my IMA battery, MCM, and BCM were replaced. But I was able to convince a Honda dealer to replace my MCM and...
With problems such as Sheafe describes, i think it's a reasonable assumption that the local Honda dealer will have little or no experience with them (since the...
Following up on this, I got a call from the dealership Friday saying my parts had arrived, and we schedule Tuesday (yesterday) for the work to be done. They...
... It is certainly disappointing that the IMA battery and controller on your 2003 CVT Insight failed. I had hoped that the failure of so many IMA batteries...
Just called my Honda service. Front pads and rotor machining $189. They machine need it or not. Is that really necessary? Keep machining and soon you need...
It's a good idea if your putting new pads on, otherwise you risk getting squealing brakes and shudders when stopping. Probably wouldn't be a huge problem on an...
I saw this in an article about auto sales this week and wondered how many Insight's Honda is selling? Eric ... From Associated Press Auto: Overall, Asian...
Well, that's an easy one: 79 in March 2006. (Up 41% from March 2005!) Or, if it makes you feel better, the only thing more exotic (rare) that Honda sells is...
I wish Honda would make a HCH coupe! Yesterday we picked up our 2006 HCH in Albuquerque. 46.5 mpg on the way home over a mountainous 50 mile route. Not bad! ...
... Monthly Honda sales are always reported at <http://www.hondanews.com/ CatID1007?html=sales.html>. While Insight sales are up 41.1% for March year-over-year...
Last I checked there's still a waiting list for 2006 HCH's here in Phoenix. They're still pretty hard to get as far as I know. Later Ricky Art Isbell...
Back in January, there was a thread which mentioned that Costco no longer stocked the Bridgestone 165/65R14 Potenza RE92, the Insight's OEM tire. Well, just...
