Hi Delta Flyer. A name I recognize.

Here's a noobish question re: MIMA on the Insight. Of all the hybrids, the Insight seems to have had the most battery failures. Does MIMA tend to be more or less battery friendly than the stock program?

Also, I recently read about the clutch switch to completely disable IMA. Any plans?

Welcome to the site!
