Our 2010 Honda Insight EX has one very important thing that our 2009 Honda Fit EX does not: seat-height adjustment for the driver.
The ability to move the seat up and down goes some distance in making the Insight a more comfortable place to sit. I road-tripped an earlier 2010 Insight test car and found the driver seat adequate for 7 hours of driving.
That said, I think the lower-mounted seat and extra seat-track travel made possible by the Insight's longer wheelbase (100.4 inches versus 98.4 for the '09 Fit) also contribute to a more natural seating position.

In the first post for this car many comments said that you getting this car was unexpected but you did show it to us before the introduction. Anyone remember when the Fit's battery died? If not here is the link (http://blogs.edmunds.com/roadtests/2009/06/2009-honda-fit-sport-dead-battery.html#more). Take a look at the jump car._It's the blue Insight!!! We "knew" this car was coming to the LT Fleet almost a week before the Introduction. Turns out it wasn't that unexpected.

Is it just me, or does Honda seriously give you the worst colors.
The Fit looks like a metallic carrot, and the Insight looks like a piece of Bubblicious Bubble Gum.
