Honda can take honors for being the first automobile manufacturer
to put an electric/gasoline hybrid car on the road in the
United States. This was the Insight. For 2003, the Insight
remains just as environmental as it is sleek and sporty.
The 2003 Honda Insight falls into the sub-compact vehicle
category with more than one 2-door hatchback trim to choose
from. Take a look, and we think you will agree that the
Insight makes a definite statement.
Available Models
There are three trims available to the 2003 Honda Insight:
manual transmission base model, manual transmission with
air conditioning, and continuously variable transmission
with air conditioning (CVT).
Interior Features
Inside the standard base model 2003 Honda Insight, you can
find an air filter, power steering, power mirrors, windows
and door locks, AM/FM cassette stereo system, and tachometer.
Inside the next two trims, add air conditioning with automatic
climate control.
Exterior Features
The aerodynamic rear fender skirts are probably the most
defining exterior feature of the Insight. Couple these with
lightweight alloy wheels, heat-rejecting tinted glass, and
body-coloured dual power mirrors and the funky exterior
of the Insight is complete.
Performance
What you will find under the hood of the 2003 Honda Insight
is what sets it apart from almost every other car on the
road in America today. Let start with an impressive 1.0-litre
in-line 3-cylinder gasoline engine. Now remember that size
is not what impresses here. It's the electric motor part
that does. Together this electric motor/gasoline engine
gets 61/68 (city/hwy) mpg. How can you go wrong with that?
Environmental responsibility that seriously eases your pocket
book. The Insight puts out 73 horsepower @ 5700 rpm with
91 lb-ft of torque @ 2000 rpm.
The first two base model trims come with a 5-speed manual
transmission, while the third trim comes with a continuously
variable automatic transmission.
Safety and Security
The 2003 Honda Insight comes with dual front airbags, power-assisted
ventilated front disc/rear drum ABS brakes, and dual-side
impact door beams. Also standard for your security are keyless
remote entry, and Immobilizer anti-theft deterrent system
that prevents the Insight from being started up if an unauthorized
key is used.
