I had been wanting an Insight II for many months, but then realized that the Civic Hybrid WITH LEATHER AND NAV would cost about the same as the Insight EX. I've always liked the 8G Civic body style, and don't need a hatch or huge trunk. The PMM color (as you stated) with the beige leather is really beautiful. I also like the driving visibility better. The Civic Hybrid has XM, 4-wheel disc brakes, and equivalent gas mileage. I surmised from first-drive tests that it was a more comfortable highway cruiser. I like the dashboard and overall interior better than the Insight. And I like that the Civic has proven quality and isn't a first-year production car. My usual tendency is to want what's new-and-greatest, but in this case, the Civic offered so much more for an unbeatable deal. And, as you would expect, I love the car and am getting 50-60 MPG reliably on every outing, depending on city/freeway use. Hope that helps!
