>>16425586
You could buy 3 corollas for that.
Why do you want an insight?

>>16425586
gut it and slap a d16y8 in it for maximum mpg/hoonage combo

>>16425586
Objectively no you should not buy this vehicle.

Why the fuck would you want it.

>>16425597
>>16425604
because its cool faggots what the fuck are you on about


what is wrong with this car?

>>16425586
It's not $2000. A reman battery is like 1-1.2k installed.

>>16425613
I agree that it's cool but it is totes not worth replacing the battery

>>16425613
Its not THAT cool.
Get a CRX if you like the style

>>16425613

>it's cool

Don't forget to put your meme stickers on the back window when you make your reddit tribute thread to "OH EM GEE GUESS WHO BOUGHT A HONDA INSIGHT?!"

Fucking dildo, I hope you die in a battery fire.

>>16425597
Hybrid 5 speed. If he isn't a faggot, that is.

>>16425616
this website insists they are the genuine article and beyond shitty reman autozone faggotry.

>>16425619
how hard can it be? and for $3000 for a car that gets 9999mpg and I have a 100 mile commute every day, it'll pay for itself i reckon.

>>16425626
It looks cool and sips gas in relative luxury .

>>16425629

You're the one who wants to buy a decades-old electric shitbox you stupid nigfuq.

>Pull out battery packs
>Swap in cheap drivetrain

>>16425662
its made of aluminum and only weights 1800 pounds

it has fender flares

it has a digital dash from 2001

its a coupe

it gets like 70 mpg and is the most fuel efficient (non PHEV ) mass produced car ever made that runs on gasoline

thats cool faggot

>>16425642
You can get a genuine Honda pack for 1800 but there's a 500 core charge so you have to send back the old pack. If you're handy and adventurous you could rebuild the pack yourself.

>>16425695

how fast does it accelerate

how many hp does it have

what is the torque

is it RWD

what is the drag coefficient

how many G's did it pull on the skid pad

that's what I thought you FAGGOT

It's motoring history, yes
It also has stupidly low rolling resistance, literally push it with one hand.

Well the question is, how much do you know about electric stuff?

The drivetrain on those is very interesting, and definitely gets better gas mileage than a prius.

First things first you gotta diagnose whats wrong with it? is it the battery? or One cell in the series? There are plenty of people that repair these batteries, and they can do them for dirt cheap, because they buy the cells, and wire them, themselves.

If you get one, make sure it's a manual, this will help your mileage efficiency. Secondly, you want to get a joystick that allows you to control ratio of Electric>Gas so hypermile effectively. Third you want to do mods that reduce drag, and increase thermal efficiency.

so high efficiency tires, lighter wheels, Possible lowering, under carriage panels, remounting license plate, and a tail

It's a neat little car, same dash as an S2000.

>>16425746
Your whole post makes you sound like a bitch.

>is it rwd
Huuurrrrrrrrr
>drag coefficient

Oh god don't make me laugh

>>16425777
N...no...it isn't....

>>16425586
Is it manual? If so then yes

Now you're just tempting me. I'll post smug sluts until you can come up with a legitimate reason why FR and MR are not GOAT

>FF shits where it eats
>RR has shit weight distributation
>AWD is just unnecessary. unless you're an uber TCS cuck

Literally the only reason FF and RR exist is because of cost to manufacture.

Only thing still being discussed, and the fact that you find it even remotely possible to say someone else looks like a bitch when you, as has already been covered, namefag as "Wolfy"
