As a self-confessed Honda fanboi, I just had to acquire this when it was offered to me last year at a price I couldn’t refuse!

It’s a year 2000 Honda Insight. The car is 12 years old but its technology could’ve been from last week (or next week…); all aluminium construction, three cylinder engine , hybrid power, still the lowest CO2 g/km of any production car, bullet-proof reliability AND it averages an overall – and true – 69 mpg.

The styling may not be to all tastes but it is honest; the form follows function and there’s not many -if any –  of today’s over-styled and over weight cars can claim that.
