Better drive? Depends. I really enjoy driving the Insight, but it is also a pain in the ass. It requires a lot of attention to maximize its capabilities. That appeals to me, and I imagine if you are on Ecomodder, it appeals to you too. I can't just let myself drive it though, and I wish I could. Those people you hear complaining about only getting ~50's mpg because they have to keep up with traffic in their area? 90% of them aren't Insight people. I consider it to be the Eco version of a Lotus; it is a ultra lightweight car designed specifically for extreme performance. Still, it is very enjoyable to develop the skill required to maximize its performance.
