The actual drag race is at 0:50. LOL, back in 1978 the Mazda RX-7 reshuffled the "performance car" niche with its quarter mile time of 17:00 flat, besting the Porsche 924, VW Scirocco, and IIRC the Datsun 280z. Reflect on that, a 2015 Prius pwning the best Porsche had to offer for under $25k in 1978 dollars.

Without manually engaging the EV mode the prius can run solely on battery up to 46mph on flat or downhill roads. Also mine being high speck looks much better then the honda.

That's pretty accurate. My 2008 Prius Tspirit Hybrid had 54.5mpg on the multifunction display last time I went to fill the 45 litre tank. I had managed 492 miles on 42 litres of standard unleaded fuel - and that's in the middle of the coldest freezing winter we've had in London for ages. In summer, I've had 66.4mpg and got over 630 miles from a tank of fuel. My Prius will do up to 42mph running in EV mode or on the battery under certain driving conditions. I absolutely love the idea of braking or going down a slope and having the regenerative brakes charge the traction battery! Other cars WASTE that energy and lose it forever. The Prius reclaims it and gives it back to you! Pure genius!

We have a 2011 Insight. It might just be the most reliable car we have ever owned. At over 80,000 miles, it has not had a single mechanical issue outside of the airbag recall. Friends who own the Prius have complained about workmanship and reliability issues. The Insight gets us 60 - 65 MPG on the highway at 60MPH. The tires and the octane of the fuel used make a noticeable difference. The Dunlop SP31s got great mileage, but delivered a stiffer ride. The mileage isn't as good with Hankook Optimo 426s, but the ride is better. Do the basic upkeep (oil change, CVT fluid change, replace air filters, etc.) and the Insight will give you years of reliable, fuel efficient service.

And the Prius is less than 0.5 s from the middle between the Fusion and the Insight in 0-100 mph (21.5 - 30.2 - 38.0). When you consider the respective hp (191 - 134 - 98), you see that the Prius does better in reality than the theoretically expected ~31.6 s. The Prius is simply a good car, definitely better in most aspects than the Insight. Period.

This review is not accurate because of one MAJOR error. The Prius does get better MPG...Much better MPG. Honda was sued by Insight owners for false advertising- because the Insight does not get 40 MPG on average...but considerable less. The Prius spec is 50mpg, but it consistently gets 55-60MPG depending on your lead-footedness. That's a real-world +50% difference in the Prius' favor. #2 - because of the large electric motor in the Prius, it's gas motor is not on for a good % of the time. Real-world useful life of a Prius is over 300,000 miles. Factor that!

My 2012 Insight averages 45-55 MPG depending on how I drive. The IMA system Honda used for the Insight does have an "EV mode" that it switches to while cruising at low speeds, the difference is that it isn't able to take off from a stop with electric only like the Prius can. The Insight's EV mode doesn't completely switch the gas engine off but it closes the valves and uses the electric motor to spin the crankshaft.

I like mine, it's comfortable, some people don't like the noise a CVT gearbox makes, but around town I can barely hear it, it's only on the motorway and I hear it, but it's no noisier than any other car. You need to drive it carefully to get the mpg into the 40's, however the eco driving aid on the dash helps you with a fun system of plants. It can drive using the battery and not petrol, but this drives the engine too, so you'll never get a silent drive. They are cheap compared to Prius's, and one thing the Insight has over the Prius, is style. That front end (in my opinion) still looks good today, and if you compare it to the Prius out at the same time, it really looks better than the Prius (again my opinion). I hope this helps.

But once you meet these conditions you can drive about 20 miles on one tank of fuel,

Yes but which Prius model are you comparing to the Honda Insight? There are noticeable price differences and the only Prius that really comes close to equaling the price is the Prius C. It looks like your using the regular Prius model. Already unfair advantages there. The regular Prius model STARTS at $24,200 where as the Regular Honda Insight STARTS at $18,725. And guess what! The regular Prius C model Starts at $19,080. This is all excluding any kind of deals you can get of course. So the Regular Prius base model is $5,475 more than the Honda Insight. The base Insight is expected to get around 44 mpg highway, the Regular Base Prius is expected to get around 48 mpg highway, and the Base Prius C is expected to get around 46 mpg. All I'm saying is you should really do the fairer price comparison. The Base Prius C is still more expensive then the Base Honda Insight but only by less then a grand.

@4050redluvr: You're right, absolutely, but I assure you that the Prius is much more quiet of other machines. I have the Series 2 and I could change only with the Series 3, only one electric machine like the Tesla S could change my mind... The rest, as you say, depends only on the common sense people!

@greatplanesman That is exactly like saying milk is a type of orange juice, and orange juice is a type of milk. They are both types of petroleum fuels. That's about it. Would diesel be a different type of propane?

@AALEVK Where did anyone mention the USA? I am talking about the cars, not about one of the markets they are sold in. And you probably meant "first mass produced hybrid sold in the USA", because both Insight and Prius are made in Japan (mostly).

So he doesn't trust manufacturers fuel claims but he does trust the cars fuel readouts? Haha, seriously! It's just plain lazy. Why not drive them both until their tanks are empty and see how much fuel will go into them until full. Then calculate it manually.

Yeah right. All of your videos are of a Taurus, and then your in North Dakota which most of the time is colder than hell, or with big hills, both of which kill the batteries and millage of the Prius.

Who cares about Atkinson cycle. In the 1880's it was a great design, however the multivalve Vtech in the Insight and Civic is way more efficient and powerful.

Did you know that to make the battery for ONE Prius does more damage than Range Rover Discovery does in a lifetime... The Prius is awful for the environment.

@bisquik3006 Diesel is a form of gasoline. Regardless, you still have to pay a LOT more than $35 to fill your tank vs the prius tank.

It WILL be the Prius. You United Kingdom fellas have a tougher choice. Here in America the Prius wins by an absolute landslide. This coming from a Honda lover ever since I was 7 and got a Z50 for Xmas. Honda abandoned hybrid technology for some time in favor of diesel until they realized it was a fool's folly. Is it too late for Honda...I doubt it, but for now they are playing catch up...big time!

please convince me how a prius is better than my 10-plate bmw 318d in m-sport spec? is it cheaper? not much. mine is better built, 50+ mpg, better ride (even with m-sport suspension), faster, more stylish (opinions differ i know), better spec, and just the better all round similarly sized vehicle. in fact, any decent modern tdi saloon with a nice spec is the better buy, and will do better mpg all day

@RJKeene87 well in italy the gasoline costs about 1.45-1.50€ per litre that means 5.50-5.7€ per gallon... i believe that prius and all hybrid car are not for gays as some could take jokes on that... but i've understood one thing looking at the "hybrid gamma" of honda cars, they are ugly! maybe thats some kind of block for a person to buy that car and buy a nicer gasoline car... petrol heads conspiracy?

@BVMUSICNJ what if people want more than a crap 25mpg and want quiet city driving? Think about the target market, not everyone is a petrol head, some people actually want a car that is suitable for it's environment it was destined for, if i can run electric entirely in cities, I see that as a saving, if I want to go on motorways, I will, because frankly, if I can go 130mph and get 25mpg in a prius (which I can) I am happy, besides, barely anyone goes above 100 due to speed limits these days.

@SageRai peugeot have a diesel electric hybrid 4x4 concept car sports convertible that may be going into production within the next few years with crazy torque and power courtesy of the fantastic electric motordelivering maximum torque instantaneously giving it an advantage over a petrol engine, the only reason electric motors in hybrids these days are so slow is that they are built for acceleration and city driving, that is their target market that generates the most profit.

@74929868 im sorry its not "noob" thinking i actualy research this kinda thing for a living..im a mec eng and i can tell you the prius is not even close to being the most "environmentally friendly" mode of transportation... almost all desiel engines use lesser fuel burn cleaner and have a carbon footprint waayy smaller than that of the prius..and this is not even on the long run.on the long run almost ALL other cars are "safer" for the environment than the prius..and this is scientific fact. :)

one thing that annoys me about the hybrid tests, they are nearly always best case scenario, how about doing the tests useing some energy, lets say its a cold day your windows are fogging up you`ve got your fan and air conditioner going to dehumidify and rear demister going, its inclement conditions ,wipers and head lights, full tank of juice 2 people in the car 50% city 50% highway lets see the REAL economy !!!

>>>"CO2 is a greenhouse gas idiot..." I have a 135 IQ, hold three college degrees (electronics, engineering, and software)..... I am hardly an idiot. Nice try though. As for CO2 it IS a greenhouse gas, but it is NOT a pollutant. Pollutants kill living things whereas CO2 actually makes living things (plants, trees, algae, etc) to grow and thrive .

@weinerschnitzelboy well idk its still being debated. There not enough hydrogen refinery to supply it and for the fcx its only for sale for certain rich people. I mean yeah, i love the car too but the way to go for hydrogen is still a question for the future. With gas prices rising, i believe hydrogen is a smart solution and friendly too ^^

Your tests are just rubbish! I have an Insight and I get 52 MG (real not calculated by the computer); the car is very quiet so your noise comments are just baffling to me, and the Insight drives much better than the Prius - the only advantage the Prius has is indeed its large motor. The Insight can be anemic going uphill.

@PimpBoy219 Damn, your English is terrible. Anyway: it performs when you want it to. Setting it to power mode it has a mean kick-down. It of course doesn't mean it's a race car. Besides that it has a lot of other virtues and it would last ages longer in any road trip than your Nissan. Not that Nissan isn't a good company, but you probably messed the car up.
