I guess if someone can't settle for anything less than a larger car it's good. Surprised car and driver didn't pan it since it didn't have a V12 engine and go 0-60 so fast that the tires would melt.

Getting back to my point. I'm getting almost 40 mpg in a mid-size car with better performance than their standard 4 cylinder car and even slightly better performance than the last generation's V-6. I'd hardly say the mileage is crap. I understand I don't get anywhere near the mileage of your Insight, but I can also fit four or five comfortably - so it's a tradeoff

Also of note, the Geo Metro only has 70hp, is much smaller, less safe, doesn't burn as clean, etc. It's unfortunate that you compare the TCH to a Geo Metro and consider the TCH a disappointment.
