and to the OP, 80 MPG seems a bit high but congrats if she did manage to get close to that .

lol i would suggest a Prius too, but he seems to want to choose between a yaris or insight. To me, personally, I would not spend $6k more for a hybrid, but I'm just giving him a kick towards what he wants, an insight! A car purchase shouldn't be too much about logic, it should be about love, want and ultimately, satisfaction. I think a successful purchase has more to do with satisfaction, then if you did the right thing by somebody else's metric.

Its like if he's asking advice to upgrade his car for ricey looks and people start suggesting performance parts because that's what they like (sway bars, CAI, etc.), or if somebody wants advice on choosing a mac, and people suggest a dell, hp, etc. He probably would just go wtf at the suggestions, and go get a mac anyway.

Apparently, Honda has a comparison between the two vehicles: http://automobiles.honda.com/insight...omparison.aspx

I have a question though, why does Toyota's US website suck so badly versus almost all other car manufacturers'. Its seriously like traveling through time from 1990 to 2000 when I visit Honda or Ford's or Hyundai's website. I mean they have a **lot of money, it doesn't cost that much to hire a team who can make a much more informative website. It would help them sell more cars too if they gave more sexy photos and hyped up mundane features with marketing voodoo. The features expose for the yaris on toyota's website looks like an pre-flight checklist, while Honda lays out all of the nuances and really draws the reader in, with video demos too!
