Did you run the numbers to see if this makes financial sense? Since the Insight has been discontinued you should be able to get a much better deal.

Long story short hybrid hate hot weather over 100 degrees as it shortens the battery life and most limit warranty in hot states. Second, they hate to be parked. They must be driven weekly if not daily or the battery life is shortened.

Cold weather cuts your mpg by at least 20mpg and the more heat you use the less mpg you will see.
