yeah figure out CPM (cost per mile) and things change dramatically BUT if I could afford $5k for an insight I would get one. Just for the comfort. |

Cost per Mile I don't think there is anything cheaper then a Metro .. well .. assuming you don't buy your Metro off of some crazy person who thinks its worth 5k. I didn't compare my Insight to my Metro when I was justifying the purchase .. I compared it to my Truck .. so the purchase was a no brainier. Ive been keeping my eye open for another Metro .. I commute over 20,000 miles a year .. since I'm driving older cars I should have a back up. Having my Insight allows me to be real picky .. I will have another Metro or a Civic HB .. but its going to be a great deal. |

Where is a Moderator when you really need one? Like the original posting member Scoobs said, this thread has turned to I truly believe Nereys and Lafter should continue this in a P.M. format and let this once amusing thread DIE!
