Honda Hybrid
 

I was unlucky enough to be taken out in a 2010 Honda Hybrid today.

What a huge pile of ****

Interior is cheap thin ugly plastic, but the dials looked ok.

It was noisey, sounded like a Vauxkhall from the mid 80's.

Paintwork was dire, i would have refused it picking the car up. Major orange peel effect.

According to the driver (My customer who's Civic has gone bang) it drinks petrol and she said she can see the needle moving while motorway driving



All-in-all.......

Hybrid is NOT the way forward



Rant over

And the view out the rear window is almost nothing

lol another great eco car, couldnt be any worse that a prius could it?

Yes it is. It's pure nasty

Can wait for her to get her new Toyota Urban Cruiser. I want a drive of it

A car thats worse that a prius, blimey, think thats worth a review on topgear lol

It's the Honda Insight

hate all of these cars, i can understand what they are trying to achieve, but they build them out of such nasty lightweight plastics and put such skinny eco-tyres on them with no grip, just designed for minimal rolling resistance.

can't help but think that if you did the same thing (lightweight interior, eco tyres etc) to a standard 2.0 diesel, you'd have far better results!

The diesels also appear to be cheaper to run too.

and give the same performance, it cant be very eco friendly when you have to dispose of all those plastics and extra battaries

Apparently the Honda Insight she is using is using so much petrol, she is going to give it back next week and hire a small engine car from elsewhere

hopefully honda will pay for the hire car with all the trouble theve caused her

They paid for 1 weeks hire last time but she had to have it for 3 weeks. She is giving up with Honda

It's a fault with their repair from last time. Her daughter is a soliciter, so i think she will get her way in the end

i'd try the CR-Z
