Thank you robert! Very informative
I drive a lot, so just based on the cost to buy (2000 civics go for about 3500 at there cheapest around here, saw a few insights with 140k miles go for around 6k) it would take 1.5-2 years in fuel costs to make up the purchase price difference.
Haven't run a full cost analysis vs keeping the cooper but from what I've had to spend on things . For example I have to change my radiator and fan due to a little incident, if I do all the work the cost is $500, looking at the insight it looks to be about $150-200. Tires cost over $100 each because only 2 tires exist that fit on my rim (thanks bmw lol). I've just been somewhat wowed that some of these parts are so expensive. Did I mention if you take it to mini to get a full oil change they charge $350-450? Great car bu expensive.
$1300-1500 in fuel savings a year if I drive an insight from the cooper also, I'm considering I, taking a test drive in one today
