Volken. You avoid where you are from.
Re the Insight, it had a very hard ride and the shifting had to be very rapid to a high gear to get good mileage. I live in a hilly are and this resulted in me frequently being a brick in the road. If I drove normally the mpg was not as good as a TDI. If I ran the AC the mpg dropped drastically The tires and suspension were very hard riding.
Now pari pasu with this I owned TDI's. They could be driven normally with air and gave better mpg. I became very unhappy with the attitude of VWNA re their cars and it has become bad enough that I have sold them.
I believe a low sulphur diesel is the answer--with a small engine.The Hybrids must be put in prospective re their true mileage and their really boring driving requirements to obtain good mileage.
