Going from an import DC2 to this, words cannot describe the disappointment in me

Yes it is, it's a car with no purpose other than to make the driver look like a pillock.

Its not a pretty sight

Not really an affliction of the Insight TBH. This actually does decent MPG.

My word, that 'thing' is horrid! Why?!

No

Other than the stigma attached to (modified) e36's, its a decent car with good dynamics.

The Insight looks rough, and has no driver dynamics of which to speak.

Unless you actually venture out of the city centre/try and keep up with traffic.

There's a weird yellow coloured one that I see time to time round here, must admit I think it's quite cool in a this-is-the-future-but-now-looks-quite-dated kind of way

Simon · 2 Mar 2009 at 14:07

Have you hit 100mpg yet?

Fr0dders · 2 Mar 2009 at 14:12

i just dont get this at all

you owned a JDM integra, and have now gone into an insight ??

You just CANT be a car person, which your previous car purchase would suggest. Drexel downsized, and got a cheap Golf GTI. Downsizing does not mean you have to sell your motoring soul.

If my sister in law bought one of these, id laugh and leave her to it. But an ex JDM integra owner

EH ??

There is something I dont get about small super eco cars.

a) Small, lightweight super eco cars get good fuel economy
b) In order to benefit substantially from good fuel economy, you need to do lots of miles
c) Doing lots of miles in a small, lightweight super eco car is completely horrible.

You wouldnt go for an evening meal with the GF at McDonalds to save a few quid so why would you coop yourself up in such a pile of eco junk?

SoliD · 2 Mar 2009 at 14:15

Certainly a different change of direction, why would you do this to yourself?
