Ok here we go:
Check out first the site insightcentral.net they have alot of info for insight gen1 and gen2. Engine is quite durable with no major problems. Sensors are some kinda weak. EGR Valve tend to give up on you and the new costs as much as $168, The lean burn Oxygen senosor might need to be replaced at some time, they have something like 500 hours of operation. If your car is five speed, clutch set is about $300+. Tires are about $100 a wheel. BATT pack in the back of the car 144volts is covered by Honda for 10 years or 150K miles which ever comes first. Or this guy in north east
Hybrid-Battery-Repair is good what he does. The car leaks in side alot when it rains. Other than that it is pretty good FE car. Part are available though majestic honda over the net. Use only 2.6q of oil W0-20 available in Wall Mart for $6.27q. The car has 6 computers, the one for the motor called MCM tend to burn, i have seen two gone bad.
