Honda Insight Takes on Prius – Who Wins?

Posted by admin as Fuel Prices

SEE IF INSIGHT CAN BEAT PRIUS: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=139686?tid=edmunds.il.home.photopanel..3.* Psychologists have said that consumers have a three-week memory of fuel prices. If prices stay constant for more than three weeks, the buying public’s decision-making ability becomes myopic and they act as though prices have never been different from what they are in the here and now. And at this very moment, fuel prices have been below two bucks a gallon …

What means ” …
What means “straight forward in a traditional way”. Isn´t that a bit paradox?
As if you´d say “It´s blue in a green way.”

Nice try edmunds but we´re mature enough to decide on our own.

well don’t know …
well don’t know about it … for sure you have to take into account from what is the car made from etc but can you be more specific please ? are the materials they use or is it the manufacturing which have a negative impact on the carbon footprint ?

well i like the new …
well i like the new prius styling a lot better then the insight one …

The insight is …
The insight is uglier than the 2009 prius in my opinion. The 2010 prius is ugly as well. The 2009 prius has a more aerodynamic look and looks cleaner with its lines. The 2010 prius and insight look like wavy sunflower seeds. At least the old prius doesn’t have such a high rear quarters, which in my opinion makes it look like a van.

Why would they put …
Why would they put in a CVT instead of manual then? There has got to be a good reason. Probably less parts than a manual, less overall maintenance. A CVT can be controlled, but it isn’t as durable as manual and hence why they restrict you to control the CVT.

NO. competition …
NO. competition amongst themselves is what keeps them getting better and better.

They’re both great. …
They’re both great. They both (Honda and Toyota) make high quality and very reliable cars. I think they both should unite one day…But that’s just me.

This car is …
This car is disapointing… no Manual transmission like my 2000 Insight has.
CVTs weight more, cost more, and get less gas milage. Stupid move by Honda.

Im not an …
Im not an environmentalist but here is why I think the average Joe who considers himself patriotic should be driving a prius; the more money you spend on gas = more money going outside the US to the middle east, so put it this way,
Hummer= Anti-American – kinda like a terrorist.

Prius = Patriotic
surprised how many people feel patriotic driving their gas guzzling SUVs around with all that extra gas money going outside the US. Wake up people!

If you want to …
If you want to protect our future environment, buy the Insight. If you want to reduce global warming and pollutions, buy the Prius. If you want to help our next generation to breathe better, go ride a bicycle. lol

the prius is a joke …
the prius is a joke! the prius has a carbon footprint bigger than most cars out on the market today !

The original Honda …
The original Honda Insight is STILL the most fuel efficient car ever sold in America not the Prius. The 2010 Prius won’t beat its mpg numbers either.

The Prius is one of …
The Prius is one of the sloppiest handling cars I’ve ever driven. Honda wins hands down from driving dynamics alone.

People calm down. …
People calm down. Prius is still a very very very good car ( I want one so bad) but this insight is also a great car. For people that cant afford the 24k sticker price (and yes the 2010 prius is going to be more money than the current gen ) this insight definatly wins because of the lower sticker price. I love both cars, but it boils down to which one i can truly afford.

wtf?!?! Hon-duh …
wtf?!?! Hon-duh S-U-C-K-S!!!!!!!!

Prius rules. People …
Prius rules. People always compare cars with the best one in its class. Oh and by the way that’s soon to be the old Prius. The new one which comes out later this year is way better than the old Prius. Honda copied the old Prius. The New 2010 Prius looks way better then both of those cars. I can’t believe I am saying this but the new 2010 Prius actually looks pretty cool. Its MPG will be even higher to. My 2007 Prius can go 500+ miles on one tank. It only takes 8.5-9.2 gallons to fill that tank.

beauty is more than …
beauty is more than skin deep !
I love the Prius… its a.quiet, quiet car – and thats one advantage you cant get elsewhhere !
