Depends on the ride.

In all seriousness, though... Since you're obviously looking to work within a budget, have you considered finding yourself an old VW chassis (bug or Karmann Ghia); installing a high-efficiency motor; and doing a custom, aero body redesign? They are already laid out for a rear engine/rear drive, so you can do almost anything you want to clean up the aero on the front.

Also, if I were in your shoes, I'd be asking myself if I could do better myself than just getting a used Insight. Then again, maybe it's not big enough/spacious enough?
