You could hold out for a cheap once in a lifetime deal on an insight, by that time you could be driving a diesel CRX around. I don't know about AZ, but Illinois emission tests OBD2 cars. The CRX HF is close in weigh to the insight, 100 lbs difference. With the TDI installed, it may weigh less, d15b6 engine weighs 195 lbs.
