Road Test: 2010 Honda Insight hybrid: it is a winner
"I’ve just spent a week with the 2010 Honda Insight, and I’m in love. Not just with the 38mpg fuel economy – okay, it was 37.9 – but with its visibility, handling and a bunch of creature features you don’t expect in a car at this price."
(snip)
"In a week of normal driving around Los Angeles, where I was visiting, the Insight was flawless on highways, with ample acceleration for zooming onto the 405 and the 101. And when traffic allowed, there was plenty of power to cruise at 70mph. It has a super-tight turning radius that allowed me to u-turn even in a private home driveway. And on the city’s famously curvy and hilly Mulholland Drive, the Insight was lively and precise, like it wished it was a sports car. Maybe that’s why the EX model has paddle shifters."
"Let’s repeat this – paddle shifters! A $21,300 hybrid with paddle shifters! And a reason to use them."

This sounds alot more like my experiences with this car... Well except my mileage is much better.
