Problems to look forward to.

Beating the epa est mpg
Good traction in snow n ice
Going 10 thousand miles between oil changes
Getting a discount from your insurance carrier

I could go on and on.

Default Insurance

My agent told me that because of the very positive Insurance crash test rating that the Insight is considered inexpensive to insure.

I did not get an insurance discount. I'm paying more than my last car . . . a Focus, through American Family Insurance.

My State Farm agent was suprised at the low rate. Then I told her what a great car it was and its low price. Don't know if she bought one, but she was a thinkin.
