I was told that Honda are now on their fifth generation of hybrid engines, and batteries. They say they have Insights with 80,000 miles on the clock still running strong on their original batteries. It could be sales talk, but the batteries come with 5 years warranty, so I should have an idea by then as to what is going on with the car by then.
My cars are tools of the trade, not my pride and joy, so they are purchased to perform a job, and will have a hard life. In the past several cars have not withstood the punishment that learners have given them . . . lets hope Hondas are up to the task.
