Guess I'll have to chime in on the other side of the coin. The OP's car sounds a lot like my '00. It requires constant, unwavering, "both hands on the wheel" attention to stay on the road. The vast majority of my driving lately has been 70-75 MPH, smooth roads with just a hint of "rutting", 25-35 MPH cross or head wind.
A couple of weeks ago, after 3 hours of constant attention, I made the mistake of taking one hand off the wheel to get a sip of water. A rogue gust of wind hit and I was suddenly about 1/2 a lane to the left of where I was. My CRX has never performed like that and now that I run 195/50 tires it feels like it is glued to the road.
I always just thought the Insight's problem was the poor handling of the stock Brigestones. Kind of wating to see if anything develops on the other "my car handles like crap" threads. If not, I'll probably get the allignment checked and if that turns out OK, the next step will be to invest in some type of tire which will offer a bit better control.
I have always had the feeling that the Insight was primarily a city / short commuter car, but with slightly better handling, it could be a great cross-country touring machine as well.
