Hi All,

I am looking for advice on buying a 2000-06 Honda Insight. I am a car mechanic but some of the parts on the Insight are a little scary. Like the 120 D cell batteries that are welded together in stacks to make up the battery assist. It seems like that would be the weak link in the car and prone to premature failure. Also all the other non-standard items in the car that I am not familiar with. Any clarification on how and what to inspect for when buying an Insight would be great.

Thanks,
Alex
