Are there differences between 2000-2006 Insights?

As I am researching more and more on the Honda Insight (2000-2006), I am seeing differences in specifications for each year. Power, mileage, and a few other things seem a bit different over the years- from the internet.

I'm sure the Insight forum may have more on it, and I did search here first (Answer a mans question, he knows for a day- teach a man to search, he learns for life.), but I figured there may be some detailed info in the brains of ecomodders.

My biggest reason for wanting a newer model is because it should live longer, and have less miles- but also if I want to finance, I'll have a better chance (I will easily get approved, but most of the finance offices I have looked at won't go past 2003). But, it seems like the newer the Insight, the lower the performance- less mpg, less power (less sense!).

I have looked into other ultra efficient vehicles, but only the Metro and Civic hybrid. I need a standard, a decent price >4k, and crazy mpg. Older is of course better, the worse the car looks, the easier it'll be to ecomod. I am open to suggestions for other cars, but keep in mind I do have my heart set on the original Insight.
