In the case of most Honda hybrids, the battery will need service within the car's lifetime. If you go to the dealer, it's $3000. You can buy a professionally refurbished unit from a third party for ~$1000. Or you can keep its pack balanced with a $100 grid charger, potentially staving off its death for quite some time. There's also an inexpensive DIY refurb option.
I absolutely love my Insight. If you want a stick-shifted hybrid (and you do), you have three choices, and they're all Hondas.
