OK, after having driven my Insight enough... I couldn't imagine losing a cylinder at any time other than maybe idle. Killing idle seems to be far easier and safer, especially when you can auto-start it like the Insight with the hybrid system.
I actually looked at getting one of the 1.0L turbo Feista before the Insight. No regrets (mostly due to cost differences and MPG... only needed a 2 seater, anyways). Though, they look they like would be fun little cars.
