This entire thread is worth a read, if you haven't seen it yet. Vskid isn't joking about the acceleration, and compared to the Mustang, I row in the Insight- especially when I turn off the battery. Since I use a switch to turn the battery on/off (to cycle it empty and full), using the engine only can need a lot of shifting if one is moving with a purpose. Mustang takes just throttle or maybe down to 5, Insight is more like down to 4, sometimes 3, have used 2nd lol. If you want more performance from the Insight, I hear the CVT is better for more fun and is a bit quicker.

Edit: Mech, thank you for bringing up valid points on another car, I don't want to turn this into an Insight only thread lol- very good points.
