I had the BRZ for just over 3 years and that's the 2nd longest I've owned any vehicle, I had my GT Track Pack car for like 7 months after special ordering it. If I do, I'll be returning to familiar territory. ND2 or Gen III Coyote Mustang. |
I'm not judging at all. I get bored fast too:)
|
Oh it's a fantastic car, I thought I wanted a "grown up" car. Turns out, I was just sick of the BRZ. The girlfriend was not pleased when I told her what I was thinking, she loves the car. Especially when I tell her to take it to work on the days I work from home.
I miss having a convertible and I miss having a V8. But none of the 'vert versions of V8 cars appeal to me, style wise. Outside of other expensive German cars. lol So it's either Miata or Mustang. |
my 330hp/355tq DD made 32.2 mpg to the beach and back.
the seats are not as comfortable as my last MB however. |
I measured it the other day when we went to Tulsa, cruise set at 85 = 28mpg in cosseting, German luxury. I was OK with that.
Around town commuting and such it gets more like 16. Might have something to do with my right foot though. |
Just found this thread. My people. I have long been wanting to get a first gen insight and this thread further justifies my want.
|

Nice! You doing anything special?
its really cool when the mpg and the miles travelled are the same, its like, hell yeah I travelled that far on one gallon! |
Just following a semi doing 75
Only managed to get ~52mpg over the tank though. Car NEEDS a calpod switch to stop assist/regen on the interstate. Especially with the AC on. |
And it's gone. Was not my dream commuter car...
MPG was amazing, but there were too many drawbacks to warrant keeping it. |
Yeah, a few days ago, i was driving home 5 hours, i only had maybe 1 hour of sleep in the past few days...
I was super irritated, and i wanted to get home asap to sleep. It just happened to be an incredibly windy day, (wind advisory) and could barely go 70mph on level road. Uphil was brutal. I was wishing for some power. Still got 63mpg for that tank, and did the 660mile round trip in a single tank of gas, but at the time, i would have filled up again to get home an hour earlier. Which doesnt really matter, or make sense, but when angry, logic doesnt count, lol. |
Your cats are plugged... even with a headwind it should have no problem doing 80+.
Calpod switch is a 100% must gor interstate driving. |
Unless the ac was on, then you're fubar

There's one of these Insights at my local dealer that looks to be in really good condition. Any reason for this thing to cost fivethousanddollars (besides simply being at a dealership)?
I've owned three different Priuses and I've always been intrigued by the Insight. https://www.antrimhonda.com/used/Hon...79fcda7d3d.htm |
I posted one for $1500 in this thread
|
Also, no that is not a good deal. There are CELs and the battery and electronics are bad. IMA light is on. That car isnt even worth 1000. Thats a parts car only IF the engine is ok. Body panels sell for a decent amount.

Saw a commercial for the new insight during one of the football games yesterday and could only think of this thread. I think that makes you a celebrity in my book.

Hey! Thats cool!
Thanks for thinking of me! |
