GET AN INSIGHT!! there were a couple different software versions in the computers over the years, I believe later versions were written to help protect the IMA battery from abuse in cold weather scenarios, the original software was allowing too much assist/ regen or something along those lines before the pack got up to operating temperature and Honda must have thought this would degrade reliability. I have heard the original software was better for the MPGs. Also, epa testing changes so I wouldnt doubt if thats part of the differences you are reading about. Anyhow, as i said before, BUY AN INSIGHT! There is no cooler higher tech car out there to this day. Theres a reason they cost honda 50+k $ apiece to build!
