Well, let me start off as to the "why" part. I have an internship at the Mercedes Benz facility in Vance Alabama that starts in August. Now, its 70 miles one way, so 140 miles a day pretty much if I stay at home. I have a Jeep Wrangler currently, and 14-19 MPG is not going to do me very well when working over there. So, I need a car that gets great gas mileage. I honestly really like the look of the Insight (I really like the CRXes that it reminds me of, but they're a little old for this kind of driving), and really enjoy the high efficiency of them as well. So, would you all recommend the Insight, or should I look into something else? Its either this, maybe a Prius, or a VW diesel Golf or Jetta. We've had 2 Hondas, and never had any problems with them before, is the Insight just as reliable? Also, I read that the Insight will be discontinued in September, is there any release on what its successor will be?
