Now I grant you that I don't drive it all that much - haven't quite made it to the 10K mile oil change interval yet - but when I do, it's doing things like hauling logs for firewood, or heading up roads way too rough for the Insight. Starts every time, even after sitting for months, and unlike your Ford, it not only doesn't smoke, it passes its annual smog check by a wide margin :-)
