No. (And I own one.) First, it's an absolute dog without the assist. Second, the battery pack isn't all that heavy

You can tell a lot about a person in how you observe them driving over speed bumps. Frankly, my observations so far are 100% negative!

Depends on what you mean by negative. I refuse to be coerced by the dinosaur brains, and so drive over speed bumps at the same reasonable speed that I would be driving if there were no speed bumps.

How much do looks of your vehicle matter to you, as opposed to an aero only look? Opinions vary wildly! For example, when the first Insight you saw

No, 'cause when I saw my first Insight, I thought it was beautiful. I do care to some extent: I wouldn't choose to drive one of the current crop of oversized, styled to suggest a penis pickups, or one of the lard-butted sedans.

Knowing how easily a red car wants to fade in the sun, are you still into that color?

Never was into it. I like white, plus it's cooler in my hot summers, or a nice light blue.

Have never tried, beyond the occasional snide comment about handicap equipment.

Have you ever, or now own a black vehicle? The pains of keeping one clean can be staggering!!

I have, but why bother? Unless it'd been through deep mud or something, the next rain would wash off any dirt.
