There is now an end to the suspense that has surrounded the price of the inexpensive Honda Insight hybrid. Honda announced that the 2010 Insight will begin at $19,800 when it is put on sale on March 24. That price will buy you the LX trim level and doesn’t include a destination charge of $670. The mileage on this car is rated 40 mpg in the city and 43 mpg on the highway.

The LX trim level includes standard features, such as a steering wheel that tilts and telescopes, power windows and a CD player. The EX, which is the next level up, will cost you $21,300 and will give you steering wheel shift paddles, stability control, a stereo system with six-speakers that has USB input and side mirrors that are heated.

Navigation is an option in the aptly named EX with Navi trim level, which starts at $23,100.

Drivers are looking for ways to save money, and the 2010 Honda Insight offers car shoppers an inexpensive car that provides reliability. Of course, with any car purchase you should protect yourself with a roadside assistance program just in case of an emergency situation.
