Description :
The automatic may not be ideal for efficiency, but it is geared fairly tall for a 4-cylinder (2000 rpm gives about 62mph, 65 with the higher profile tires), and programmed to keep it in as high a gear as possible, so it performs quite admirably. It even downshifts pretty aggressively when braking hard downhill, even near highway speeds.

Planned Mods :
Though I still have it, I've lost interest in modding this car more since I've gotten the holy grail; a first-gen manual Insight.
