Be aware that the Insight has a water jacket in the exhaust manifold. It needs to dump more heat than you'd expect for a 3-cylinder, though you should still be fine in the summer if you're not climbing mountains, I expect.

With a 50% lower and 100% upper, I've seen water temperature approach 105c in cooler months (maybe 40-60f outside) when climbing grades.
