Hybrid civic versus vw diesel tdi 2009 and New Hybrid Honda Insight
Car runs good with a average 53-54 MPG.
I do like Honda cars and my ex-girlfriend had one of the first of the new 2006 Honda Civics Hybrids in the N/W U.S back in Oct. 2005. I recall that on one trip to Reno Nevada from N/W Oregon it averaged about 53 MPG.
In the news there is a report that in the spring of 2009, which is not that
far off, Honda will have a new model Insight Hybrid that is a five passenger car with maybe over 50 MPG combined (new EPA Figures), and the car will MRSP at $19,000.
This is far less money that a 2009 Jetta TDI or a 2009 Civic Hybrid.
Is there any info on what type of batteries the new Insight will use, hopefully they will be Lithium Polymer.
Anyway, those are the three cars I am looking at
If anyone out there as any outside or inside info on the new Honda Insight please let me know. It will be helpful in my buying descision.
