This can't be good for sales for a car that was supposed to help put Honda in contention for top hybrid maker with Toyota.
Ouch! Consumer Reports says Honda Insight not as fit as Honda's FitIt ain't easy being green. Just ask Honda.
Consumer Reports gives a stinging review to Honda's Insight gas-electric hybrid in its August edition out Tuesday. "The Insight is the most disappointing Honda Consumer Reports has tested in a long time," said David Champion, senior director of its auto test center. "The Insight is a noisy, stiff-riding car with clumsy handling that is nothing like the Fit on which it is based."
CR gave Insight a ranking of 21 out of 22 small wagons and hatchbacks it has tested. It scored 54 road test points vs. 86 for the top-ranked Mazda5 Touring. And Pontiac's Vibe, which GM is killing with the rest of the brand, scored 69 points.
