Default Re: How practical is this tiny car?

It's my wife so I tell her to shut up and then I allow her to say 10 words every 5 miles. Just kidding.

I had a '92 Vette convertible for all of a day several years back and she made me take it back as she thought there was an underlying motive for my purchase. I have a '63 Corvette but she's never ridden in it (maybe once) so no complaints there. She loves the Insight more than all of our vehicles, when she rides in it she gets the warm fuzzy she's saving the earth one gallon at a time. About the worst thing I hear out of here is if she gets into the wrong car in the morning the complaint that she has to move to the other car. No complaints about comfort at all - and she normally whines about everything.

Not many cars get names but the Insight has the sort of following that the owners give their cars names (like VW Beetles, Minis etc.).
