Podcasts about Honda Insight

Recuerdo la primera vez que probé el Toyota Prius, allá en el lejano 2001… no me convenció. La idea me parecía interesante pero la ejecución fallida. Y ni mucho menos imagine que este coche cambiaria el mundo del automóvil tal y como lo ha hecho. Sin duda, y de lejos, el coche más influyente del Siglo XXI, por su técnica… y también por su marketing. Y que puede morir a manos de los SUV... La idea era buena: Para pasar de 0 km/h a, pongamos unos 50 km/h consumes energía. Y cuando tienes que parar, por ejemplo, en un semáforo, esa energía la “tiras” en forma de calor a la atmósfera… en vez de aprovecharla para producir electricidad que luego te ayuda a mover el coche. Leí la información técnica de la marca y pensé “¡qué gran idea!” Luego bajé a probar el coche y lo primero que pensé fue, ¿un híbrido tiene se ser feo? Y es que os recuerdo que los primeros híbridos, todos japoneses, como por ejemplo el Honda Insight aparecido muy poco después, estéticamente estaban cortados por el mismo patrón. Y luego fui a probarlo… lo primero chocante, que ahora no le es tanto, es que dabas al contacto y el motor térmico no arrancaba… acelerabas suave y el coche se movía en silencio y a las pocas decenas de metros o antes si acelerabas más arrancaba el motor. Era un coche torpe, pues el motor de gasolina ofrecía poco más de 70 CV y los 45 CV extras del motor eléctrico no siempre estaban disponibles… esto para un coche que se acercaba a los 1.300 kg, era poca cosa. También chocaba que no se “sincronizaban” las revoluciones del motor térmico, que solo las intuías o oído, con la velocidad, fruto del cambio CVT y de la ayuda eléctrica. Había que tomarse las cosas con calma. El coche era amplio, silencioso, confortable, pero anodino… nada seductor… algo que sucede en muchos Toyota, pero más en este. Pero todo cambiaba cuando observabas los consumos, sobre todo en ciudad: ¡Eran extraordinariamente bajos. En 2003 llega la segunda generación supuso un paso adelante enorme. Desde luego en estética, pero también en eficiencia, pues se anunciaba que era capaz de recorrer 35,5 km por litro… una cifra optimista, pero lo cierto es que mejoraba en mucho al anterior. Confieso que al volante mis impresiones cambiaron y pensé “pues me temo que esto de la hibridación ha llegado para quedare… este coche va muy bien”. Y así era. Y además se convirtió en la viva imagen del ecologismo lo cual le convirtió en… … una estrella de Hollywood. California es la cuna del cine occidental y uno de los estados históricamente con normas más estrictas en lo que a emisiones se refiere. Y de pronto, el Prius se convirtió en un coche símbolo del ecologismo y todos los famosos y estrellas de cine que querían presumir de ecologistas, tenían que conducir uno. No puedo citar todos, pero no me resisto a incluir una pequeña lista… por que os aseguro que es pequeña: Alicia Silverstone, Billy Crystal, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, Kirk Douglas, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robin Williams, Salma Hayek, Susan Sarandon, Tom Hanks y Will Ferrell, entre otros muchos… una verdadera constelación de estrellas. La tercera generación el Prius aparece en 2009 y en realidad era una puesta al día de la anterior… pero ¿solo eso? Pues no, porque con ello llegó la segunda revolución de los híbridos. En 2012 se lanza el híbrido enchufable que yo probé a primeros del año siguiente. Lo tuve una semana. En esos tiempos trabajaba a unos 15 kilómetros de mi casa. Lo use para ir y venir, para darme algún paseo que otro por la sierra y un viajecito de fin de semana de unos 400 km de ida y vuelta. En total unos 800 km. Lo enchufaba cada día y esa semana, todo incluido, gasté… ¡unos 20 litros de gasolina! Una media de menos de 3 litros… y es que gran parte de los recorridos los hacia sin que el motor térmico llegase a arrancar. La cuarta generación se lanza en 2015 y ofrece una gran cantidad de mejoras, pero no en su sistema de hibridación, sino en el resto del coche. Se mejora la rigidez, la aerodinámica, se baja el centro de gravedad y se modifica la suspensión sobre todo la trasera, para hacer del Prius un coche más agradable de conducir. Lo cierto es que la hibridación del Prius ya si iba extendiendo a toda la gama de Toyota hasta el punto de que muchos decían si existiendo, por ejemplo, un Corolla Híbrido, el Prius tenía sentido… Pues de eso, los españoles, no nos vamos a enterar. ¿Por qué? La Quinta generación del Prius es un salto de gigante, solo nos basta ver su estética. Es una declaración de intenciones de que el Prius quiere tener identidad propia. Pero al menos de momento, no llegará a España. ¿Cuál es el motivo? Resulta cuando menos curioso que en coche tan innovador y tan rupturista se vea perjudicado, hasta desparecer en algunos mercados, por otra nueva moda… ¡lo has adivinado! ¡Los SUV! Una pena porque el nuevo híbrido, en la línea estética marcada por el eléctrico con nombre de agente secreto bZ4X, desde luego es algo muy diferente, por fuera y por dentro. Es un modelo que pretende tener unas ciertas cualidades incluso deportivas, con una potencia total de 223 CV y que puede montar un techo con placas solares… ideal para nuestro mercado, pero insisto no vendrá a España… al menos de momento. Conclusión. Venga o no a España esta última generación, e incluso aunque desapareciese por completo de la gama Toyota en todo el Mundo, el Toyota Prius ha marcado un verdadero cambio. No solo yo, nadie lo vio venir, nadie pensó en el comienzo de los años 2000 que en 2025 uno de cada tres coches vendidos en Europa iba a ser híbrido, en España casi uno de cada dos. Nadie lo vio venir. Y tal como están las cosas, creo que ese porcentaje en vez de bajar, a favor de los eléctricos, va a subir… y todo comenzó con el primer Prius, bastante feote, que no me acabó de convencer… pero que inicio un nuevo camino. Coche del día. En un vídeo sobre futuros clásicos dije que el primer Prius se podría convertir en un clásico… tiene en contra su elevada producción, pero a su favor ser un coche que casi nadie está conservando y que, como os he dicho, cambio el Mundo.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the cars that were ahead of their time. In many cases they were the innovators and the pioneers, the cars that changed the industry for good. In others, these cars arrived too far ahead of their time and were commercial and technological flops because of it. BMW's i3 and i8, the Porsche 959, Jensen FF, Mercedes-Benz 300SL and Honda Insight all feature.Use coupon code pod15 at checkout to get 15% off a subscription to The Intercooler's online car magazine!

We were going to make a serious and informative episode about what you should look for when buying a used car, but instead we goofed off and dared each other to buy shitty unreliable cars for $5,000. We did sprinkle in some practical advice here and there, or at least you might learn what not to do from our bad decisions.Alex will be back for a Part 2 soon, where we'll discuss practical, economical, and boring cars that you should buy if you're smarter than us.Main topic at 1:09:14Email us with tips, stories, and unhinged rants: carsandcomrades@gmail.com //Our social media links etc: www.linktr.ee/CarsAndComrades //Music by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard: www.kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com/polygondwanaland //Links/Sources:Alex's pictures of puppers and Porsches: https://www.instagram.com/for_the__animals/ //Turbo a stock Honda Insight: https://youtu.be/kEV4KAnSjGg?si=mUIPjDOnugc1qfo3 //Mini Cooper with a WRX engine and drivetrain: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/introducing-colin-a-mini-ature-wrx/191397/page1/ //Screenshots of Car Ads: https://ibb.co/album/GH67qq //Links to Car Ads:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/709375080526846/ //https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1361196731420176/ //https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/259269456582745/ //https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/220081444409667/ //The rest of the ads have been taken down by now

00:00 - INTRO: The 60+ MPG Commute-Crushing HybridIf I wanted a used vehicle that gets amazing fuel economy at a far more reasonable price than a used Tesla, I would buy the first hybrid sold in the US. It's a vehicle that had an amazing EPA fuel economy rating and it's a car I still geek out over today, in spite of the fact that the earliest examples are more than 20 years old and they're not exactly fast. In fact, I'd say they're more… funky. And no, it's not a Prius, but I'll tell you what it is and why you might want one in just a moment, so hop in, buckle up and let's go for a drive! 01:20 - OPEN – Hybrid Technology Offered The Best Fuel Economy In The Early 2000'sToday it's electric vehicles, but 20+ years ago, if you wanted great fuel economy, you had to get a hybrid. The Prius was the first one to be launched in 1997, but it was a Japan-only model for the first couple of years and it wouldn't come to the US until model year 2000. 02:25 – The 2000 Honda Insight – The First Modern Hybrid Vehicle Available In The USIn spite of Toyota's Prius being the first mass-produced hybrid, Honda beat the Prius to American soil with the introduction of their first Hybrid, the 2-seat Honda Insight. While the Prius had impressive fuel economy, the Insight crushed it with a 61-city and 70-mpg EPA highway MPG rating. 03:35 - 2000-2006 Honda Insight is a more modern interpretation of the 1980s Civic CRX HFIntroduced in 1984 to the US market, the Honda CRX was a sporty, lightweight, front-wheel drive, 2-door hatch back that in its highest horsepower configuration (the CRX Si) offered sports car like performance that could give a comparable year Toyota's MR2 or Pontiac's V6 Fiero a run for their money. But in addition to the Si model, Honda also offered an HF or high fuel mileage version of the CRX that was equipped with a more fuel efficient engine and taller gearing to improve fuel economy. For comparison, the base model 1984 CRX with a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine and a 5-speed manual transmission has a revised EPA fuel economy rating of 38 city / 48 highway and 41-mpg combined. That's better highway mileage than the first Prius and matches the combined Prius rating of 41 mpg… without the complication of a hybrid power train. Of course, the CRX was much lighter because it was a smaller 2-seat vehicle, plus it didn't have to meet model year 2000 crash standards. But still, the fuel economy of the 1.3-liter 1984 CRX was impressive. Fast-forward 16-years and the 2000 Honda Insight Hybrid expanded on those numbers with even more impressive fuel economy. When first introduced, the EPA rating for the Insight was 61-mpg city / 70-mpg highway and 65 MPG combined. Those numbers were later revised to 49-city/61-highway/53-mpg combined. Yet even the revised EPA fuel economy estimates for the First Generation Honda Insight are impressive by today's fuel economy standards. So if that piques your interest, let's get into why you might want a 2000-2006 First Generation Honda Insight. 05:45 - You Might Want A First-Generation Honda Insight If… You want a car that gets amazing fuel economy, especially for a long-distance daily commute, but you don't want to pay the price required to buy a new or even a used EV with decent driving range between charges. You don't need to carry more than one extra person and a small amount of gear. So the big hold-back on the First Gen Insight for many was seating capacity. It has 2-seats with about 5-cubic feet of space to store items under the rear...

Keith Perkins, L1 Automotive Diagnostics and Program, L1 Automotive Training, Listen to Keith's previous episode HERE. This is Isaac Rodell's first appearance on Remarkable Results Radio. Find Isaac on Facebook "Isaac Rodiesel" Talking Points: The struggle to improve the transfer of technical knowledge is the same people show up to training every seminar. Yet there are a few new faces but not enough to make a larger impact on the need and value of training. How do we connect with people who do not seek out training on their own Paying for training, room, board, and time off needs to be the standard in the industry   When Issac owned his shop, he made the same mistake that so many shop owners today are making and not supporting 100% of his technician's training requirements (registration, room, board, and making their pay whole) Only shop owners who attend training can see the value. Once they attend, they are all over it and turn their training commitment into a pillar of their company Training pays it does not cost There are many deals available for equipment for pennies on the dollar from shops that are liquidating. This a sign of the times when shop owners hesitate to become a business person The first hybrid in the US was Honda Insight in 1999 Many of our young trainers have never set a carburetor   Job security to work on ICE (Internal Combustion Engines) for many, many years to come as the age of the car grows by about 6 months per year and we currently are at 12.9 yrs Buy a used 2005-2009 Toyota Prius to work on, to use as a training vehicle, and to wrap with the wording ‘We Service Hybrids.' There is a worst-case scenario from Toyota about placing the keys about 20' from the car when doing an oil change. Verify the car is off when doing an oil change on the IC Engine Issac and Keith are in the Mobile Diag. The dynamic of the job is changing because many shops are tooling up, and there is more competition than ever Big pivot to remote programming Issac encourages the young generation to go to training and will sponsor someone each year to go to ASTE If senior members of a shop avoid going to training, invest in your young people. 20% of technicians are 55 -64 average age from a survey. Astonishing number In high school, 90% of men worked on their cars back in the day when there was shop class Today very few high schools have shop classes and must send their students to a co-op center Reference Bob Cooper Episodes with consumer panel

In this episode of the Carmudgeon show, part-time ambulance chaser Jason Cammisa befriends some forbidden freeway fruit in form of the Volkswagen XL1 — a car that hardly exists at all, let alone on a California freeway at 11 PM. Jason recounts his seat time in the mirrorless, peak-Piëch Bugatti Veyron of MPG and how its small-footprint journey across the US makes for a large-footprint cause — more on that below. Side effects may include a string of broken-necked Bolt drivers and/or a stay in your local hospital. Derek and Jason make some other low-drag comparisons, such as the ill-fated GM EV-1 and original Honda Insight. Jason recounts vivid childhood memories of a 1975 Chevy Impala wagon and a GM hotline that served solely to feed his growing curiosity of facts and figures. This somehow leads to a discussion (and confession) of the different terrible and elaborate ways that rental vehicle customers can cause havoc. Have you ever pulled a 6-liter Vortec out of a U-Haul and returned it with a lowly 4.8? Perhaps you've rented a Toyota Tercel and returned it within an inch of its life. We won't judge you. Maybe. A special shout-out to Jim Magill (@thealso) who drove the XL-1 cross country to raise money for Alzheimer Research.

Hoy platicamos de los 500 mil autos EV de Tesla en 2020. De los tres lanzamientos más importantes del año. En la prueba de la semana: Honda Insight y sus rivales más directos. En los consejos: Lo que nunca debes hacerle a una caja automática y manual. Es enero, ¿me compro un auto nuevo o seminuevo?

Hoy puedes encontrar muchas opciones mecánicas distintas. Y aunque parece que los híbridos enchufables son la mejor opción, surgen muchas dudas: ¿Son fiables? ¿Resultan caros de reparar? ¿Tendrán un buen precio de reventa? Vamos a responder a estas y otras dudas. He tenido largas discusiones con colegas de la prensa sobre las ventajas de los híbridos convencionales en carretera… yo os lo digo yo: Ninguna. Este tipo de coches que recupera energía en las frenadas y usa el motor eléctricos en las arrancadas, en carretera no son ventajosos, pues no hay muchas frenadas ni arrancadas. Al final tienes un coche convencional con una pesada batería y con motores eléctricos que no usas. Con un hibrido enchufable tienes ayuda los primeros kilómetros. Pero una vez acabada la batería, o si no la has cargado, es como un híbrido no enchufable o peor, porque suelen tener baterías más grandes y pesadas. Algunos diréis, “si te compras un híbrido enchufable, ¿Por qué no lo vas a cargar? La respuesta es sencilla, muchos los compran por las ventajas de las pegatinas de emisión cero, pero luego no los cargan… y cuando digo muchos, quiero decir muchos. Híbridos: Cuanto peor, mejor… Para los híbridos, cuanto peor mejor. ¿Qué significa esto? Pues que en tráfico urbano son más eficientes que en carretera; que en carretera de subidas y bajadas con curvas, son más eficientes que en autopista; que se adatan mejor a un conductor agresivo que a uno que conduzca suavemente. ¿Son fiables los híbridos? Algún colega y muchos de vosotros me comunicáis las dudas sobre el mantenimiento de un híbrido. La verdad es que abres el capó o lees la ficha técnica e impresiona y piensas, “si se rompe algo así, ¿quién lo arregla?”. Confieso que a mí mismo me han asaltado estas dudas, pero os invito a pensar en una cosa: ¿Algún taller se ve incapaz de arreglar una inyección? ¿De meter la máquina de diagnostico a un motor? ¿De reparar los sensores del ABS del catalizador o cosas semejantes? Por lo general, hoy día, no. Pero hace 20, 15 e incluso 10 años, en muchos talleres estas cosas eran como nombrar “a la bicha” como dicen los andaluces. ¿Tendrán buen precio de reventa? Te voy a dar un dato muy revelador acerca de las compañías de renting que son el termómetro ideal para saber el precio de recompra de determinadas marcas, modelos o tecnologías… sabéis que gran parte del negocio de estas empresas esta en la reventa de sus coche. Hace pocos años, si querías un renting sobre un coche hibrido enchufable las cuotas eran caras, porque el precio de reventa garantizado era bajo y por tanto el valor del coche lo repercutías en la entrada o en las cuotas. Mira ahora y veras que no es así. ¿Cuáles son las ventajas de un híbrido enchufable? -Dos coches en uno. -Ayudas legales. -Contaminan menos. -Mantenimiento mas barato. -Gastan menos. ¿Y cuales son las desventajas? -Punto de recarga. -Pesan más. -Maletero más pequeño. -Son mas caros. He titulado este video, “Es buen momento para comprar un hibrido” y ya sabéis que siempre me mojo y voy a responder: Sí. Coche del día. Hay coches que a priori no te gustan o no te emocionan, pero a los que acabas cogiendo cariño. Eso me paso con el Honda Insight. Ver vídeo: https://youtu.be/e7v7GL9gdwo

It sounds daunting, but buying a car abroad is not difficult. Long before they even knew each other, both Jason and Derek had each turned a summer European vacation into a car-buying extravaganza. Importing a 25-year-old car into the U.S. isn’t difficult at all, and duty isn’t expensive.[NOTE: This episode was recorded in early March 2020 before the Coronavirus Social Distancing measures went into effect. We're glad to help stave off boredom while you #ShelterInPlace — anything to keep you home and keep you safe. Stay well, all of you. Love and distant kisses from all of us at ISSIMI.]In discussing what cars are on their personal To Buy lists, Derek and Jason realized that most of the cars they want were never sold in the U.S. — things like the Honda Beat, Autozam AZ-1, Suzuki Cappuccino, Daihatsu Copen, and other Japanese-market Kei Cars. On the opposite end of the spectrum are Derek’s Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 and Range Rover 2-door fetishes — and where the boys’ tastes overlap: at the Lotus Carlton. Built as a special-edition Opel / Vauxhall Omega, the Carlton was a 177-mph family sedan that infuriated everyone at the time for being socially unconscionable. But with a turbocharged straight-six, rear-wheel drive, and a manual transmission, it’s right up the Radwood-era enthusiast’s alley.The first-generation Honda Insight isn’t, even though Jason wants one. He also wants an original Honda S600 or S800 — but not an S2000. You’ll have to watch to find out why (hint: steering and gearing.) And you’ll hear the outrageous story of the R107 380SL Jason shipped to his dad, which got destroyed by the DEA at the port, thinking it was filled with drugs. So even though shipping a car across the globe is relatively inexpensive, it’s not without its risks. The Carmudgeon Show is a comedic, information-filled conversation with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott, two car enthusiasts who are curmudgeonly beyond their years. Proving you don’t have to be old to be grumpy, they spend each episode talking about what’s wrong with various parts of the automotive universe. Despite their best efforts to keep it negative, they usually wind up laughing, happy, and extolling their love for cars. Which just makes them angrier and more bitter.Jason Cammisa is an automotive journalist, social-media figure, and TV host with over 250 million views on YouTube alone. Jason’s deeply technical understanding, made possible by a lifelong obsession with cars, allows him to fully digest what’s going on within an automobile — and then put it into simple terms for others to understand. Also, a Master’s Degree in Law trained him to be impossible to argue with. Derek Tam-Scott still tries. He’s a young automotive expert with old-man taste in cars, and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering — which means he knows how to be civil to Jason. Or at least he tries. With a decade and a half’s experience buying, selling, driving and brokering classic and exotic cars, he’s experienced the world’s most iconic cars. And hated most of them.
