yep.. i drive an 04 insight, and spend far LESS on maintenance than any car I've ever owned. there are less moving parts, i only need an oil change every 6,000 miles... so your arguement that "you'll spend more on maintenance than you'll save on gas" is baseless and holds no water. I'm not sure why you concocted this opinion with nothing to go by.

oh and i've never had any issue outside of having the battery replaced after 110,000 miles... completely free as it's warrantee work!

i love the prius but im starting to like hondas

... if the driver has time to call 911, then surely he could figure out a way to stop the vehicle, a good driver must know how to stop his vehicle even if there are accelerator or break problems... Toyota has also its faults, but don't blame it all to the car company, You the driver must be in control no matter what the circumstances are... Insight vs prius? hmm I'd go with the prius

i think one reason why gas prices are so high cause ppl keep buying 15 mpg trucks and could of had a car that gets 30 mpg think about it and do the math

@Hiteminthewallet The Prius is way better.. Better gas mileage, better interior, more horsepower, and the Insight's design is borderline copyright infringement. Yeah, the guy in San Diego that "went out of control" did not apply the brakes at all, was behind on his Prius payments, and about to go into bankruptcy. Not one prius has had a credible event. Attack the guys on top. Government Motors and the others really benefited from all these allegations.. and people seen an opportunity.

@ricoswerve1260 Toyotaho I guess brand allegiance is more important than your life. Spin the wheel, but do it in an empty parking lot so you can't hurt others with your rolling death machine. Toyota's spin in their favor; smart people are bypassing their dealerships and brand. What car company blames mechanical error on their customers? Are they saying they are selling their cars to stupid people? That explains your purchase.

I guess that 911 call of the police officer crashing was fake.

[ricoswerve1260]

@Hiteminthewallet all bullshit... i guess those drivers didnt know that their cars had lil black boxes in them. Driver error

I def think the Honda looks better, much bettter. & the interior looks so cool.
