Mr. Regular: G1 Insight
|
He's also got Echo and Civic VX vids!
|
I saw what he did to a Prius. OMG! Never mind whatever he said about the Insight!

I was driving to work in the Volt a couple of weeks ago and I blew around one of those old slow G1 Insights so fast that I had to slam on the brakes when I got next to it . . . to confirm it was my son, in my old Insight of course:D
Didn't want to scare some random stranger |
The picture he paints of the kind of person who owns an Insight is amazing. I was kind of upset that he knocked the car a bit for maintenance issues like the 2nd gear synchro, but that's about how most of these cars are at this point.

Transmissions from a little bit older Hondas typically don't have as many problems, so it's not really an age issue. |
I found this video comical because there will always be that "Negative Nelly/Nancy" out there making a bad comment or video.

If I remember correctly, he had good things to say about the cobalt xfe. Didn't watch video yet.

Saw the vid. Found his comments on the way the car drove a bit strange - a mixture of perfectly fair and way off-base. I always thought the gearshift was fantastic, for instance - certainly very much like other Hondas I've driven (including Type Rs, albeit perhaps not quite as precise as those). And I also found mine fun to throw about. Not a lot of grip, but the light weight really helps, and it still drives like the small, light car it is.
Admittedly I've not driven an old EF or EG-era Civic, and I know those are considered the archetypal small, light, nimble Hondas, but given the Insight's single-minded focus on economy it's still pretty good fun, and I think his assessment was perhaps a little unfair. There is of course the possibility that the car he drove wasn't a great example of the Insight - it looked a little rough (missing a few trim pieces), and if the gearbox and say, dampers were both shot, then it'd not be nearly as fun. RCR is great at doing a social commentary, and I always enjoy that aspect of the videos. But I don't think people should pay too much attention to what he actually thinks of the cars themselves. Actual professional reviews of the Insight were always a lot more positive... |
