It is totally up to you if the mileage is worth being cramed into a much small car that lacks factory cruise. If you never need to transport more one extra person and some golf clubs the Insight should be fine.
Well mileage wise this is true, the proportion of my miles driven with more than two people and clubs is extremely small. The manual would be great. 63 sounds swell, but then again, so does 54. I am short so perhaps the size won't be an issue? I will keep trying to find one to drive but no luck so far.
