Wow, what a difference.
I purchased a 2019 Insight EX last Wednesday and I drove it from Sacramento to Mendocino (all back roads), down Hwy 1 all the way to Petaluma, stayed at Embassy Suites Saturday night and headed over to Napa, up to Calistoga to Winters to Woodland and back home to Antelope. About 800 miles total. (I do this with every new car I buy)
I've been buying Hyundai's since 2007. The first was a 07 Sonata Platinum Edition, the next was a 2012 Elantra Limited Edition, the next was a red 2015 Sonata ECO that I promptly totaled 32 days later, so I got a black one in place of it. I've had that black one for the last 3.5 years and at 92k mi the 7 speed DCT was slipping in 1st and 2nd (would love to see the look on Honda's face when they discover that).
As of right now, my only regret in purchasing this Insight is that I haven't bought Honda before now, that I spent the last 12 years with Hyundai, who at this point, I have few good things to say about.
Right now? I'm effing thrilled with my Insight. I cannot say enough good things about this car.
The warranty I got from the dealer (beyond the Honda warranty) is unbelievable. Limited Lifetime warranty for the WHOLE car as long as I own it. Yes, I paid a fortune for that warranty, but as long as I own it, after 5 years, I pay a $100 deductible and it's someone else's problem.
I might actually keep this one after 4 years. lol
Right now, I couldn't be happier.
