I did enjoy your review but after reading it is hard for me to believe that you really own an Insight. The only explanation is that you bought a lemon with severe suspension and engine problems. 72 mpg is pure bs unless you count a 1/2 mile trip coasting down a hill. As for the wiper, noise, and high speed stability issues, you should see you service department. When I first got my Insight, I drove 80 mph everyday for my 35 mile hwy commute and the car was very stable and quiet. Since then I drive 70 mph on the same commute and get 10 more mpg and only sacrificing about 5-8 minutes longer drive. I agree that the interior is a bit cheap but all Asian cars use cheap materials in some areas. My wife has a $50k Infiniti and although most of the interior is plush, there are some cheap plastics used as well. Also the rear doors and handles are super light weight and seem flimsy. Nobody has better interiors then the German auto makers. I have owned 3 Audis 1 BMW and a VW and all were extremely well made interiors. As for the rest of the car, that is another issue.
