I just bought a White Orchid Pearl Insight with Ivory interior. I traded a 2009 Mercedes Benz ML350 with 150,000 miles on it. I found I was afraid to put miles on the Mercedes so I figured it was time to change cars. Was looking to get better mileage and go green. The Touring trim was almost a lateral move as far as amenities go. The Mercedes seat and leather, along with wood trim are superior, but that is it. I may miss lumbar support but the Insight has everything else plus additional safety features. I am very disappointed my insurance went way up.:surprise:

My insurance went up as well. I attribute it to all the new electrical workings and tech that aren't cheap to repair, plus some insurance companies are regarding it as a new/unknown/unproven risk.

My insurance went up as well, as I suspect most of the new Insight owners. The Insight does have lumbar support, it just isn't adjustable (suspect that is what you meant). My 2006 Subaru Legacy had adjustable lumbar support and I was worried I would miss it, but so far so good after 1000 miles of 1 hour commutes. No sore back issues for me with my Insight!
