Cr-z mate or got for the face lifted insight as that now emits 96 grams of CO2 per kilometer

they are very slow, they do not get great mpgs as you would expect.. but as an actual car i really liked mine!
standard stereo was alright cruise control, heated seats etc...! had no issues with mine for just under a year before i swapped out for the diesel

You'll need a 2012 MY Insight as its the only Honda hybrid below the 100 g/km c02 limit. A Civic Hybrid, Jazz Hybrid or earlier Insight WILL NOT get you congestion charge immunity.

I had thought of changing to a Lexus ct200.

However I have long term worries about the reliability of the batteries especially if you don't keep the "electrons flowing" everyday.

Most certainly at the moment they didn't get a good resale value from the trade (Mind you neither does an 08 CIVIC

)
