I had to check, and the Insight's 1.0L 3 cylinder has a harmonic damper. That surprised me a bit as I imagine it's probably an accessory loss, turning some crank motion into heat.
Maybe all timing chain motors have one? I could see a belt as providing some damping.

I'll have to check my Prius and Avalon hybrids. They have a lone pulley sticking out of the front but I don't think they have a harmonic dampener, and they are timing chain driven.
