Rear visibility in my 2011 Insight is a bit of an issue, as my rear bumper will attest. Despite parking sensors...
EX level trim brings driver seat height adjustment; I put mine as high as reasonably possible, which helps a lot. The 16 inch rims bring better handling than the 15 inches, so do 185 mm wide tires, with only a marginal impact on economy.

It is a pleasure to drive on twisting roads. I’m on holiday in the German Eifel region right now so I’m having fun with it.

Just don’t mind the revs.
It tends to keep the CVT maxed out when feathering the throttle at about 1000 RPM per 50 km/h, so 65 mph means 1950 RPM.
If you press the fun pedal the revs move up with gusto, and you’d tend to hold back as the revs go to 3-4K because that is such a sudden raise in revs. But of course it still isn’t anywhere near the limit. Boot it and it will do 6 grand in a jiffy and dart forward.

What more. Rattles, especially during frost. Headlights have halogen lamps but need HIDs. The horn sounds apologetic. Tire pressure needs to be raised well above the placard to get sharp handling and less sidewind sensitivity (and, who would have thought, noticeable better economy). The 12 Volt battery is a common weak spot and when a cell dies, it causes all kind of weird system errors. Some Insights have a burring sound at speed when the top seam on the windshield does not seal tightly and some Insights have a high-pitched whine from the dash. The engine is quiet, but there is a lot of tire and road noise. Some Insights do lurch or bump forward a bit when they switch to and from EV mode or under gentle acceleration or quickly changing throttle input. Some early Insights lose the light in a row of LEDs in one of the taillights.

But that’s pretty much it. I’d buy another one if I needed to replace mine and cannot afford an EV yet.
And yes, it is easy to do better than its EPA rating. Much harder to do worse
