Am curious how many fellow Insight owners feel about the following issue related to 0-60 mph times for this car. Since reviews for the car started coming out last June 19-20, I have noticed an anomaly. It appears that a number of sites/ individuals have reviewed the car with their own 0-60 tested time – yet there have been significant differences in the times across review sites. Assuming that all reviewers were given a Touring trim, here are several examples of the vehicle’s times 0-60 mph:
MOTOR TREND: 7.7 seconds
CAR & DRIVER: 8.8
AUTOWEEK: 8.38
CAR CONNECTION: 10 seconds (estimation, approximate)
ALEX ON AUTOS (YouTube videos): 7.9
I also vaguely remember reading or watching earlier, lesser known, more informal reviews of the car last year when a couple of reviewers seemed to find their 0-60 time in approximately 10 seconds. Big difference between 7.7-7.9 and 10 seconds!
As such, IF YOU WERE still shopping for this vehicle and have some level of interest in the car’s 0-60 time, which drive mode would you want to see the 0-60 time listed with (ECON, Normal, Sport)? Do you think all reviewers should list the tested drive mode OR AT LEAST try to conform to a certain drive mode standard in order to have consistency across reviews? [For the record, I would like to see the 0-60 time listed in SPORT and have all reviewers try to conform to testing 0-60 in SPORT mode]
