    No Way!

    Is it simply because of gas mileage?  If so you have the realize that while the trade would cost nothing you could make a lot more by selling the car or parting the performance parts.

    Going from a turbo Accord to a hybrid will be like a S2000 to a horse!  But if I had an Insight I would trade in a heartbeat!  Good luck and make sure you are ready to let it go.  Nothing like having the regret of getting rid of a car.

    Oh, and if you have any parts you need to get off your hands and out of your garage....let me know!  I'm a poor college kid!

    Did you see the 2006 Insight on eBay? The bids are already past $18K. Blue Book is around $14K retail in excellent condition.

    Sorry, I traded my 2003 Insight for the 2008 Accord a few months ago.  They sold the Insight within a day of it being on the lot.

    They are ok... Very smooth and responsive...a Very High Quality product... But I was hoping for a stiffer ride though (personal preference, I prefer a VeryVery stiff ride.)

    nice, coilovers are the next thing on my list of things i want to do as i want to start auto-xing.  I dont know if i want to go all out and get Zeal coilovers or not as the ride would be insanely stiff, and they are about double the price of the Apexi''s
