Jeremy Clarkson is not impressed by Honda Insight
Honda Insight has already managed to create an impression. It has forced Toyota to rethink the pricing of their Prius hybrid car.
However, one thing Insight has failed to do is impress Jeremy Clarkson.
Jeremy Clarkson is in fact said this about the new Honda Insight: “Biblically terrible”.
He adds: ‘Possibly the worst new car money can buy. It’s the first car I’ve ever considered crashing into a tree, on purpose, so I didn’t have to drive it anymore.’
He is disappointed with the gearbox on the Insight. He said: “For reasons known only to itself, Honda has fitted the Insight with something called constantly variable transmission (CVT). It doesn’t work. Put your foot down in a normal car and the revs climb in tandem with the speed. In a CVT car, the revs spool up quickly and then the speed rises to match them. It feels like the clutch is slipping. It feels horrid.”
Overall, he is not happy.
