1999 Honda Insight Manual Hybrid

This is the first hybrid form Honda. It was designed by the NSX designers to be the most efficient production car. It was also one of the most aerodynamic cars ever produced. It has been surpassed by some EVs recently including the Tesla Model 3.

It is very efficient at 3.5L per 100k.

I have a CVT version, it gets about 4L/100km 4.5L in sport mode.

The engine is a three cylinder one Litre. It has a system a bit like V-tech. the sport makes the engine revs sit around the V-Tech transition, so that when you press the accelerator, it goes into power mode right away.

A common fault with this car is the engine gas recirculation valve sometimes jams, and this can often be fixed by putting the car in sport mode and going for a spirited drive.
