We didn't buy an Insight but we bought a Note instead

We find our 1.6 auto ok it will cruise ok at the speed limit and still return good mpg.

Enough room for 4 adults and some luggage.

Easily get 4 bikes in the rear with seats down (although rear seats don't go flat) .

I find it comfortable enough.

The note goes in for repair tomorrow so just been to pick up the courtesy car and they have given me kit from night rider 😀

It's a Hyundai Tucson hybrid and no manual to work out how to operate anything.......

It's the nearest thing I could think of

Well 3 days of Tucson use have passed and so far I have enjoyed it but would have been more enjoyable if I knew what was going on sometimes and if I knew what some of the beeps and graphics meant.

I am starting to get the feel that I have partially got the cruise control operation sorted but not 100%.

There's a green steering wheel with a green line either side that's on a lot of the time along with a slight stiffening of the steering wheel at times when the green steering wheel flashes ?

The central arm rest has 5 buttons that I am not sure what they all do?

Why didn't the hire company keep the manual in the car

It probably doesn't have a paper manual. Have a look through the screen menu options. My 12 year old BMW did come with a paper manual bt also has an electronic manual accessible through the iDrive.

That's almost as bad as not having an Argos catalogue

Right I dropped swmbo off at blood clinic and parked up in car park awaiting her .

When swmbo came out I couldn't get the Tucson into either drive or reverse it would only select park or neutral and we lost the radio.

After several getting out of car and locking it and then leaving it 30 seconds before reopening and trying again still the same.

Then after a couple of attempts it allowed me to select drive so off we went minus radio which we couldn't re activate and the sat nav was trying to direct me to an unknown address in mk .....

Very odd
