The Prius-fighter - battle of the hybrids.


I expected to be disappointed by the Honda Insight. Compared with the radical Mk I version of the late 90s, it looks just like a Prius.
Where's the audacity and the revolution?
At a touch over £15,000, it's the cheapest petrol-electric around, and, with 101g/km CO2 and none of the nasty toxins you get from turbodiesels, the 1.3 hybrid's credentials are squeaky clean.
Mind you, I only managed mid-50s mpg and couldn't get anywhere near the claimed 64.2.
