The 2010 Honda Insight is the most affordable hybrid around, and that’s a difference that will catch a lot of people’s attention who once aspired for that other hybrid.

If and when gas prices go back up, the Insight’s combination of a low sticker price and good, if not exceptional, mileage could make it the right investment.

While fuel-efficient and reliable, the 2011 Honda Insight doesn’t measure up to its archrival, the Toyota Prius.

The 2012 Honda Insight has some things in its favor. One is its low price tag. Another is its performance at the gas pump. This Honda’s primary weakness concerns ride comfort.

Let’s cut right to the chase: No science project, this is an attractive, drivable compact car that you’d be happy to park in your garage.

The low cost, the flexibility, the mileage, and the fun combines to make the Insight especially appealing to buyers for whom hybrids have been out of reach.

If you’re looking for a similar yet $6k-cheaper version of this popular hybrid shape, then you’ll appreciate the 2010 Honda Insight. Just know in advance that you’ll be trading many comfort and cutting-edge interior features.

The new Insight is worth consideration as a good economy car, hybrid or not.

Insight or Prius? I err on the side of Honda’s hybrid, mostly as a personal thing — I just liked the way the car felt and drove, and I thought its design was better looking.

As with most hybrids, it’s not the perfect be-all end-all to a high mileage cruiser. While not perfect in its own right, the Honda Insight is the perfect alternative to those who reside in the Prius nation.

the 2010 Honda Insight is the most affordable hybrid to date, and while it may not be the ultimate hybrid car,it will make this technology much more accessible, and that will have both buyers and Honda seeing a lot more green.

If Honda prices it low enough, Insight finally could make full-fledged hybrid technology available to car buyers with tighter budgets.
