I just want to state to the original poster... there is a difference between poor build quality and what you are describing. There is also a difference between poor quality materials and lower cost/weight materials.
Keep in mind the Insight is a $15,000 car (a fit) that you are paying $20k+ for the hybrid technology. THAT said, I would expect an Audi to have much heavier high-end materials because 1: You are paying for them. 2: Weight/fuel savings is not an issue.
I would expect the insight to have thin light materials because it is a hybrid. I have yet to see an economy hybrid built any other way... mainly for light weight-mpg. In terms of the materials on the interior, in all honestly, that should have been perfectly clear by looking at it before buying. Also, you don't get power AND high MPG by buying a hybrid.The test drive should have revealed that.
