Yeah, I wound up keeping it for trips on the weekends to get out of the city when I want. I now commute by train, subway, and bicycle, and love having the insight on reserve, and knowing that it is not getting beaten up everyday as it was. The suspension was not designed to last on the insight, and after two months of nyc streets, there are some interesting new squeaking sounds coming from both the front and rear. The front lower control arm mounts are notorious, and I will definitely be using some silicone grease on them soon to see if that fixes the problem.
