well price wise, i think something a little older then a cobalt would work.

The insight as Mr. Smalls mentioned is what i really want, as you mentioned is what i love about the car, but am worried about reliability with the hybrid power train

I know its a honda so i would think i should be safe, but the batteries do have me a bit concerned. I know there are aftermarket companies that do service the batteries but im not sure what to do.

I have thought about something in the 92-95 civic range BUT i just love the way everything is setup in the Insight.

I know this isn't in the spirit of hypermiling, but was thinking about putting a k-series in the car later because it is such a perfect light weight platform
