i have had my insight for like 3 months already, i have an average of 45.5 mpg. i love the car. it really drives better than prius

[BlackTransAmdude]

Looks better than a Prius that's for sure!

[Airsofttmainac5]

At least there's no joke about it rather than the prius

People are saying the Insight is cramped in the back, but is it really as bad as people say?

I bought mine 6 months ago as my commuter and I get an average of 57 mpg everyday. I love everything about this car. After seeing the mileage I get from this car, I'm selling my Borrego! I mean..57 mpg or 17 mpg...hmm....

@twicon nope..it will always be ugly. Honda Civic and CR-Z hybrids are very attractive. As are Nissan Altima hybrids and the new Hyundai Sonata hybrids.

@Mitsy1212 there not better than the prius because the backseat room is too cramped and I wouldn't ever ride in this car unless I'm driving it or riding shotgun the backseat is too small with less legroom and head room, I hate this car. the Prius I fit ferfectly in the backseat

@twicon I don't think the Insight looks much better than the Prius. I'm not sure why they have such similar shapes to them. I'm also surprised that Toyota has not made another Hybrid model to choose from.

@JPRamon68 I predict that most Americans would prefer a hybrid vs. an all electric car. Hybrid technology has been around for awhile--totally electric cars are too new & offer no alternative to using electricity instead of gas as a means to make them run. I predict that the Volt will not be a huge success for GM & with the price tag they are asking, it is out of reach for the average working American.

honda insight is better than Toyota prius

[MrJayblaze23]

Currently It's the best hybrid out there!!

People, you have to remember that Hybrids are still Gas with the asst with Batteries. If you want to go totally Green you want to go with a Electric Car. Sad that GM thru away the EV1 cuz' that would have been on the top of the list. As for Diesel, if you modify the Diesel, you can get up to 70 MPG..... Do slash on Diesel until you educate yourself.
