I am a hybrid newbie, but from what I am reading the weak points on the Honda Insight / Civc are the battery and transmission.

For me a light weight aluminum body is extremely attractive as everything rust to pieces where I live due to salt.

Would like to take the best lean burn engine / trans ie Civic VX and drop it into the insight and eliminate all the other headaches that I have read about. ie. trans going bad, battery / ima issues etc...

Thanks in advance.
