Update One: Our long-term Insight goes about its slow business slowly.

In order to rack up the requisite 40,000 miles on a long-term test car in a reasonable amount of time—in a year or so, preferably before the subject car goes out of production—it is necessary to take it on a number of long-distance drives. Roaming the American autobahn, however, is not the Honda Insight's forte, and so it is accumulating miles more slowly than some (okay, all) of the other cars in our fleet. A tad noisy at highway speeds, the Insight is flirting with the edge of its comfort zone above 70 mph. If you live in, say, Big Sky country, where even the milk trucks move at 80 mph to cover the vast distances, it feels a little overmatched.
