geez i just can't make up my mind, i love the uniqueness of the insight, they are more expensive.
But i keep thinking i should save some money and get a 92-95 civic for cheap, but there are sooooo many civics out there!!!

If your goal is to save money, buy a cheap, relatively efficient beater.
If your goal is to have an MPG monster, buy an Insight.

Right. ^^^
You can buy a Metro for 500 and get 50 mpg, or buy an Insight for 7000 and get 65mpg.*
*not exact mpg/price figures.
