I have been looking for a long time (about a year) and have only found one fatality in an Insight. Just trying to see how safe of a car it REALLY in. Heard MUCH more positive stories than negative. Quite a few about how they were hit hard enough the car was totaled but felt in any other car they would of been toast - a few said they'd buy an Insight to replace the one that was totaled.
As far as being safe in the car, I drive with my headlights on normally. My car blends right in with the grass on either side of the road around (the color) here so quite often I have people pull out right in front of me
. I can see the same problem with the Silver Insights too. I still feel very safe in the car - and at least once a week the question is asked about "How safe is it?".
