With the constant fluctuating of gas prices over the past few years, many consumers have decided to purchase a hybrid car to save a few dollars at the pump. People in the market for used Honda models in New Jersey may be interested to know that the 2006 Honda Insight gets more miles to the gallon than any other hybrid in its class.
The ’06 Insight has an estimated fuel economy of 48 miles per gallon in the city and 58 mpg on the highway, according to FuelEconomy.gov. It also leaves a substantially smaller carbon footprint than many of its competitors.
Honda’s 2006 model is a compact two-door sedan with quick steering, exotic construction and a host of standard equipment, Edmunds.com reports. The Insight combines a 1.0-liter, 12-valve three cylinder VTEC-E gasoline engine with a lightweight electric motor that can recharge itself with having to be plugged in.
The Insight is susceptible to crosswinds due to its small stature, but “the car’s small dimensions and light, accurate steering make it a breeze to maneuver in crowded areas.”
