2010 Toyota Prius Vs 2010 Honda Insight Comptetive Comparison from Justin at Jim McNatt Toyota

This is a competitive comparison between the new 2010 Toyota Prius IV vs the 2010 Honda Insight EX with Nav from Justin Elliot at Jim McNatt Toyota in Denton TX. I am just doing an average comparison on both vehicles not trying to push one or the other. We are an autogroup that has both stores on the same lot. I know that there is probably a lot that I missed, but was short on time so go easy on that. I appreciate any suggestions or comments on what I should add in the next one or what not to add. If you are looking for the best prices around come see Justin Elliot at Jim McNatt Toyota in Denton TX.

Finally, a car salesman who actually knows his product. Great job.

Both seem like nice cars. I think it is sad how cars weigh so much and that eats up the gas mileage on all cars. I had an 83 Accord four door five speed that got 37 mpg in mixed driving. That was a decent sized car and it weighed a lot less than these. Even with a carburetor it got great mileage and was peppy. Maybe if automakers got back to the size and weight of the 83 Accord with a 1.7 liter engine they could do even better...especially with today's technology.

@GoMetricToday I have defected. The more I drove the Insight, the more I hated it. I eventually traded and got a 2010 Prius II. I have to say the Prius is by far the better car.

Life in plastic Is fantastic

@GrafRamolo Lets do the math. If you drive prius for 200k and get 50mpg(city & highway). You would use 4000 gallons. Old V8 car will give you an average of 15mpg( city& highway avg). Thats 13333 gallons. Fuel saved driving a prius is 9333 gallons. Moneys saved is 9333 * $4/gallon = $37,332. This is asuming that in next 10-15 years gas will stay same price( Lets just dream for a sec). Prius battery is just 10 regular car batteries which can be recycled. Lets not forget 3 quart oil change evey 10k

@GrafRamolo Where are you getting that information? Do you even know how these cars and the V8 you speak of manufactured.

[GrafRamolo]

Best thing about hybrid cars is that during production it consume so much energy power and fuel, that to make one require a lot much oil than big heavy v8 old car will use during 40 years of friquent use :):):) So go a head buy those hypocritical cars :):):)

I say they're BOTH ugly, and not worth the money, even if the insight IS low 20's. Get a 4 cyl car for about the same...with some COMFORT.

I still say Honda is more reliable than Toyota. Nice review!

[Hackiesacker007]

The Prius wins this battle.

Good luck next time, Honda.

Wow I can't believe a Toyota guy gave the Insight a good review. Nice job. I got the Insight because the sales person at the Toyota dealership in Johnson City, TN was very disparaging of the Insight. I have to say he cost Toyota a sale.
