2002 Honda Insight
The new 2002 Honda Insight Hatchback demonstrates one
of the most fascinating approaches to automotive design
and technology that we have recently seen. With a concerned
eye towards fuel economy and environmental responsibility,
Honda has pioneered a unique-looking vehicle whose main
distinction is its gasoline-electric hybrid engine.
While you drive, the car runs on the electric battery,
which recharges itself as you drive thus eliminating
the need to plug it in. When you need extra power for
passing or merging for example, the gasoline engine
kicks in to give you a boost. It is those times when
the gasoline takes over that the battery experiences
its recharge. A lightweight aluminum hybrid space frame
combines with this feature, and the resulting fuel economy
rating is an astonishing 61/68 (city/hwy).
In addition to the gasoline-electric hybrid feature,
the 3-cylinder variable-timing SOHC engine produces
67 horsepower. Drive type is two-wheel front, and standard
transmission is five-speed manual. Automatic transmission
is available as an option. The front brakes are vented
disc, while the rear brakes are aluminum drum. Steering
is is electric power assisted rack and pinion.
Each vehicle is equipped with fourteen-inch aluminum
alloy wheels. Suspension in the front is independent
struts with coil springs, while in the rear is trailing
are with torsion beam suspension.
The 2002 Honda Insight Hatchback has a seating capacity
of two passengers and has two doors plus its convenient
rear hatch door. It comes equipped with a automatic
air conditioning with pollen filter, a keyless entry
system with panic feature, power door locks, and color-keyed
dual power mirrors. A theft deterrent system is included,
and the AM/FM stereo with CD player and two speakers
is a dealer-installed option.
In the safety category, the Honda Insight Hatchback
features ABS brakes, driver side air bag, passenger
side air bag, front head restraints, and a rear wiper
and defroster to keep the back window clear. Seatbelts
are 3-point for both driver and passengers.
With the numerous luxury and convenience features that
are included in what is already a money-saving, innovative
vehicle, we highly recommend the Honda Insight Hatchback.
Backed by Honda quality and warranty, it’s an excellent
choice particularly for city drivers.
