it's a hybrid, I would hope that nobody expects a 6 sec 0-60 out of it. The whole point in a hybrid is gas saving.....not street racing, buy a new Cvic or even the new mazda 3 with the 40 mpg skyactiv engine for faster and 40 mpg.....forget hybrids for fast....lol
the thing i really don't get is why people complain that hybrids like the insight and prius are slow. i mean WOW. hybrids are for EFFICIENCY NOT performance. The fastest hybrid i have ever been in is my uncles 06 highlander hybrid. Gets 28mpg highway and has 268 horse power
I heard this is actually not that fun to drive, consumer reports said there wasn't much steering feel, although the rest of the review was a bit bias, don't always trust them. And the mpg is pretty bad too, considering its smaller than a prius and gets aprox. 5 mpg less to the gallon. If you want a fun hybrid, a ct200h makes a lot more sense, looks better and drives better, my Mom has a ct200h and says its a lot of fun to drive, she especially loves the looks and the driving position.
The CT200h does look nice, but also consider the fact that the CT also cost $12,000-15,000 more than the Insight. I thought the steering was great, decent feel and it feels willing in the corners, just needs some fatter rubber
@xoquixxoqafxo Well, I guess consumer reports took bribes on that review, Idk how it handles but I just heard it wasn't impressive from them. And although the ct200h is more expensive, it does feel more expensive, it has a nice soft touch dash board and leather stitching above the gauges, along the center counsel and on the doors. But one thing that bothered me about the insight beside the prius like looks was the civic hybrid gets much better mpg. And it doesn't offer stability control standard
@yellowcow13 I agree, the new camrys exterior styling could have been much more bold and dynamic, but the interior is sooooooooo much nicer, exposed stitching on the dash board, it almost feels like a luxury car inside.
@Lexuslover123 The only fun hybrid I have driven was my old 2009 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid (just because it had a V8), and my Lexus GS450h someone ran a red-light and totaled it.

People are getting much higher than the EPA estimates.

@Lexuslover123 I agree, consumer reports can be very bias. Also the Fusion hybrid would be a better choice over the Insight, more refinement.

@Lexuslover123 To me the interior looks nice, but looks like it belongs in a 4runner limited because of the blocky shapes
