2019 Honda Insight EX - Review and Test Drive - Smail Ride Along 

Well done. I just purchased an Insight and your explanations are appreciated. My salesman was thorough, but there is a lot to remember with this automobile. Basic driving is simple, but taking full advantage of all the electronics is more complicated. So far, I couldn't be more happy with my purchase! I look forward to driving my Insight for a long time!

I bought the EX in crimson. 51 mpg so far on average. Loving the car 😎

Honda should just have a video of you in their dealerships.

Great review! I'm driving a Crystal Black Pearl 2019 Insight EX and I'm loving it. My last fill was 8.014 gallons which was good for 460 miles or 57.4 mpg and most of my driving is in the mountains of east Tennessee so I'm sure get 60 mpg if I were driving long flat roads which is amazing. The Insight is so much nicer than the 2019 Prius I looked at and cheaper too! You should mention the EV Mode, in EV mode the range isn't very good. I use EV at red lights and drive thru windows and the bank or restaurant. If the battery has a good charge you can use EV when you're stopped all day but if you drive in EV mode you'll only go 1 mile or less. That's an are where the Toyota Prius is a little better and where Honda should make improvements. Also, the cloth material in the Insight is very cheap compared to the 2015 Honda Civic I used to have. You said the Insight has an e-CVT transmission, it doesn't. The Insight doesn't have a transmission, it's direct drive. You have the engine - generator - electric motor and it works great, that's why you don't have a gear range selector for Drive.

Nice job, this is a great review and test drive. All reviews seem to start with the Touring model but my research tells me more people drive base or mid range models. You did an excellent job of covering everything. I've been driving a 2019 Insight EX for a few weeks and it's awesome.

Excellent overview. The 2021 Insight is my pick for a new car and your coverage seals the decision. 👍

Wow, thanks for the awesome informative video! I learned more about the car from this video than I did from two test drives at local dealers.

Just bought one yesterday and it's in transit now! So excited to drive mine since I'm coming from a Hyundai Santa fe 2003! Seriously, it's a big jump for me

At least the 2019 Insight looks like a _real_ car, not some science experiment (I kind of detest the overstyled bodywork of the current Toyota Prius).

Thank you so much for such an in-depth video. It's exactly what I was looking for. Justin, your presentation skills are excellent.

Have a 2010. Excellent condition. Always garaged. Traveled cross country x2. Love my car but ready to get a new one after seeing this 🚙.......😎

Juat got the 2021 last week, now comes with blind monitoring and rear cross warning. Cabin is quiet, ride is smooth, gas milaege is amazing, looks is beutiful. Oozing with tech features, ample.power for my needs. I dont mind the engine sound alternating with the motor, got used to it after 2 days. Love most of all, great price for what it has. Good job Honda!

Finally a informative video on this badass car

I bought the Ex, I love it, I'm getting 54 mpg average

Best review I've seen so far

I test drove the 2019 Honda Insight and I liked it overall... but sadly Honda forgot the lumbar support, cross traffic alerts, and proper blind spot monitoring.

Thanks for detailed review . . ! ! Will trade in my Insight II when it comes to my country :]

I think this is going to be my next purchase in early 2020. Just can't decide between the EX and Touring. I plan to keep this car pretty much until I die so I should probably go with the Touring

Nice review. One question. Is that a typical CVT as you described or is there just a single ratio planetary gear and no variable gear ratio transmission? My understanding is the reason why the Honda hybrid system is so efficient is that there is no actual transmission but the ICE mostly generates electricity to drive the electric traction motor to drive the front wheels under most conditions (only mode under 0-50 mph). Under some conditions (about 50 mph and up), a clutch will connect the ICE to directly drive the front wheels.

Very nice review! It answered some questions I had. Thanks.

When some leased Insights get returned, I'm very curious how much they will be (used, low mileage) - Thats when I may pounce on this car. Hoping its comfy enough, I commute hours every day. Seeking smooth/quiet ride, comfy seats, great MPG, reliability. In the price range I'm seeking, its gonna be either a used '19 Insight EX, or a used 2015 Lexus ES300H - which is a superior comfy ride but lacking smartphone integration + other tech overall, and not as much MPG.

Fantastic video, really well done. Good job.

Looking to own soon in Miami. Great video.

presently own the 2010 Insight (as shown in video) bought it new - Love it - never gave me any problems, dependable extreme! and saved a bunch on gas but alas it's time to upgrade and my eye really likes that new Insight. :) But hey; where's the Lumbar support, guys!?

Any chance of an Insight vs Accord hybrid comparison?

Would it let you turn if you dont use the signal?

How does Sports mode adjust the performance of the car?

Is this car good for people 5'10 -6'3

Perfect video

Great review. I want one! Can you tell me what the car weight is?

I thought it didn’t have a physical transmission, including not having a CVT.

can we add blind spot assistance to this

Nice job

how is the ground clearance?

Wait seriously? You have all those warranties if you buy this car? They’re all excluded?

The Insight does not have a CVT.

My fvrd car

Does the EX not come with the sunroof ?

How long can you drive on a fully charge EV?

I did not see remort start which honda saying about all 3 models. Does it have or no?

This car does not have a cvt, it is a one speed electric motor transmission.

Is the lx base model the same thing as the ex model?

Should have at least kept the LED lights in the rear

Not a CVT...

This car doesn't have a CVT... I might edit that out.

2010 looks better lol
