New here, been driving a 2000 Insight, second owner, for 110,000 in the desert/mountain SW the last 9 years. Car now has 140,000. Out of warranty IMA light now showing, and to top that off, got rear-ended this weekend by an uninsured motorist. Car only with liability, no comprehensive. The bottom line: thinking of going to a newer used, subcompact. Any experience with the Ford Fiesta? Any experience with the Prius batteries vs. Insight? Any suggestions for a 5k solution? Anyone interested in resuscitating my Insight? Thanks for your input.
