I took my little blue demon into the city for the first time today (Chicago) delivering some equipment for work. In the past I had only taken my pickup "Red" and the handling on city streets was at best mediocre. In stark comparison, the Insight handles like a dream. You point it, it goes there.
At one point, I took a sharp left. You see, I have no sense of direction and know Chicago like I know a supermodels bedroom habits (that is to say, not at all). It's a good thing I had my 200 lbs of cargo in a nice big box or else they would have gone everywhere. I didn't much bother to slow down for the turn.
Of course then I notice the blinky blue lights in my rear view mirror. I pulled over and the diligent police officer pulls up next to me, slightly confusing since I thought he was pulling me over. Motions to roll down my window and kindly asks "Is that one of them there half-gas half-electric things"?
"Why yes sir it is!"
"So, you get good mileage?"
"Well, right now I'm getting 47.9 miles per gallon, but it's been stop-and-go all day."
"Thats just incredible, you have a nice day."

So I drove off, my work here is done...
