Very surprising to me, given that they're both aluminum and built for efficiency. I'd very much like to sit behind the wheel of one.
How do you like the transmission, other than the gearing?

Should you find yourself in Scotland, and I still have it you're welcome to try it.
They may be constructed from similar materials, and have a common ethos, but I think the approaches could hardly be more different. The Audi is an attempt to build a smaller version of existing characteristics, whereas the Insight is much more focused in its fuel saving aims - I think the VW XL1 is much closer in that respect.
The gearbox and transmission are ok, not vague, not precise, and definitely not a patch on the slick setup in my 1980 Citroen GSA..
