Hank Bennett - "Seeking to improve my "lifetime MPG" is fun and rewarding. This is one smart car."   *****

Pros:

  • Fantastic design
  • Quiet
  • Spunky
  • Comfortable
  • Great Climate Control. Proper luxuries without excess.

Cons:

  • Speakers
  • Would like to raise driver's seat tilt about 1 inch forward.

I am a one-week old owner and very satisfied. So far ONLY 62.7 avg. MPG. I chose the Citrus Yellow (green) in hopes it will keep semi's away. Immediately I became aware of the gas guzzlers who are getting to the same place I am (across N NJ on I-80) but spending 3X + on fuel.

My wipers are "chopping" across the windshield on the highway ...? ... so I will see about re-springing them.

I am curious about the upcoming Winter .. and note that the tires say "M&S" but wonder if I might spring for a set of Blizzak's .. any thoughts?

The attention when I am in NYC or at almost any stop is un-nerving.

I am still learning how to drive the Insight and it is quite different. I keep my RPM's as low as possible, only bringing them up above 2K when I have to. I am impressed that I can get up & go with high RPM's + IMA, but I have only done that twice in 400 miles. Seeking to improve my "lifetime MPG" is fun and rewarding. This is one smart car.
