Consumer reports backs Clarkson, insight sucks

Consumer reports recently ranked the all new Honda Insight 21 out of 22 vehicles tested. When I posted that Jeremy Clarkson said that the Insight was “biblicaly terrible” everyone said that was just because he only likes sports cars. Apparently he was right.

Calling it “the most disappointing Honda Consumer Reports has tested in a long time,” the most widely trusted product testing magazine has lambasted the Japanese automaker’s new Insight hybrid.

Consumer Reports basically said the ride quality, handling, interior noise, acceleration, rear-seat, access, and visibility all sucked. They then gave insight a 21 out of 22 ranking among other small hatchbacks and wagons. Tallying a road test score of 54 points, it was trailed only by the widely panned Dodge Caliber, which managed just 49 points.
