What the numbers say

A 2014 Honda Insight still asks 37% of what a 2022 one does — that's how much value it holds after 8 years. Among 13 coupes we price, that ranks #10, below the 48% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 8 (−60.5%), after which losses ease to about 22.3% a year. Mileage costs it 40%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles.
