Default Re: Insight Ownership Day 1

Oh... my car is number 2967 ever made... one of the earliest cars, and it for sure came from the factory with the old ( pre-revision ) equipment.

That's why Honda Extended the warranty from 80,000 to 150,000 miles.

They will replace the battery, and battery controllers at No Charge if/when it fails. ( from what I read, most do at 100-150k )

They will not "swap out" a functional battery, just because you bring it in, which makes sense, and I have no urgency to do so. Why start my second battery life at 75k when I can probably start a new battery at 125k or 145k? ( but there is a 10 year limit also )

I have until 10/2010 to wait and see.
