Default Re: How practical is this tiny car?

Don't get so excited about the lack of cruise control...

It was not recommended for the 1988 CRX HF I had prior to my 5-speed Insight.

If you want to get the best fuel economy out of the Insight, most if not all the hypermilers will tell you it's going to be by letting your accelerator foot respond to the dashboard. Frankly, the Insight's dash is like a video arcade. Even if you want to drive a bit agressive (not saying you do...) I doubt a cruise control will do as well as you could manually.
