Norfolk, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/25/2011 -- With great standard features and an affordable price tag, the 2011 Honda Insight is a popular Honda model. Checkered Flag Honda, a Norfolk Honda dealer, is excited to offer car shoppers this versatile and practical hybrid.

The Insight was designed for excellent fuel economy, of course, but the goal was also practicality and affordability. Since the Insight is affordably priced, it helps bring hybrid technology to more drivers than before. With an EPA-estimated 43 mpg, the AT-PZEV-rated Insight ranks as one of the more efficient cars on the market and is available now at a leading Norfolk Honda dealer.

The Insight is designed to be efficient, yet offers the space and style to be a practical vehicle. With five-door access and smaller internal components, the Insight offers more cabin space than most shoppers would expect to find in a compact hybrid. Sporty styling wasn’t forgotten, either, as the front of the car is strong and lean with eye-catching projector-beam headlights. The taller rear helps the hybrid slip easily through the air and unique LED brakelights complete the look.

Norfolk Honda shoppers will appreciate the features of the Insight that ensure efficient driving. The unique Eco Assist system enables increased efficiency for improved performance through two elements, an ECON button that controls certain functions of the car, and a feedback system that lets drivers monitor their performance.

Eco Scoring at the conclusion of the drive provides drivers with even more of an incentive to drive green. Eco Assist is composed of two basic functions: a sophisticated feedback system teaches more efficient driving and an ECON button that automatically helps to increase the vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

In addition to standard fuel efficiency, safety is, of course, standard as well on the Insight. The Insight was built with safety from in mind and includes Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure in its design. Other safety features include and anti-lock braking system, which uses a special modulator to pulse the brakes to help prevent wheel lockup, helping the driver retain steering control when braking hard. The Electronic Brake Distribution system balances the braking forces at each wheel according to how the car is dynamically loaded.

Honda shoppers can find an extensive inventory of the 2011 Honda Insight and other Honda vehicles now at Norfolk Honda dealer Checkered Flag Honda. For more information on the well-equipped and affordable hybrid, contact Checkered Flag Honda by calling 757-273-7906.
