When you bought your 2012 Honda Insight with a loan from the dealer, the dealer marked up your rate and received a referral fee from the lender. In theory, you could have saved money through refinancing the second you drove off the dealership lot!

Is it a good idea to refinance your 2012 Honda Insight or will it hurt your credit?
Refinancing will not hurt your credit but, in fact, improve it over the course of time! The first step to refinancing your 2012 Honda Insight is to check whether you qualify for a lower rate. We can do that through a soft credit pull, which won't hurt your credit.
Once you know whether you qualify for lower payments on your 2012 Honda Insight, we will help you select a new lender and pay off your old loan. The new lender will indeed make an entry on your credit file, which might reduce your Credit Score marginally and for a couple of weeks.
Mid- to long-term, however, your Credit Score will improve drastically from the lower rate. Not only will your 2012 Honda Insight payment be lower, you will also pay off your loan quicker and reduce your balance, which has a positive impact on your credit history.
