Re: Insight versus Prius
2004 prius?
can use both electric motor and gas motor at the same time, giving it combined power and a 0-60 of 9.8 seconds honda's hybrids only use gas or electric but not both at the same time insight MT - only ULEV! but it gets better mpg than the insight CVT which is SULEV insight CVT - uses belt and cone CVT, SULEV, and is slower than the MT insight, and costs more i think prius gets 90% fewer emissions than ULEV and it uses a planetary gear CVT, which i think is far more superior. prius=comes standard with a touch screen LCD also, its front passenger seat folds all the way down, then the back seat folds on that, and then you have 8 feet of storage space. try that with an insight! and also... car and driver's 30,000 mile test for the insight got an average of 48mpg. lets wait and see what the 04's 30k mile test gets ne? |

Re: Insight versus Prius
the planetary gear cvt that works like a differential, in theory, should be quicker than a manual transmission. plus it looses all the weight of a manual transmission too, since it is shift-by-wire
personally i have never used a manual, but it probably is more fun than automatic but the insight's MT is only ULEV which doesnt compare to the other hybrids |

I'm advocate of all Prius II benefits. I will drive the same regardless of gear concept because time has come where man will either step boldly with sane thinking or will face as always in history most painful evolutionary way. No offense but, in the very essence of driving sensation that shapes the very emotion of blending with machine and engine breaking, you haven't drive a car if you haven't drive that car with manual shift. Please experience that in near future. But stay with Prius, naturally

easy
because the prius has 2 engines and is just like a normal car and it gets 800 miles to the tank The insight has only 2 seats and it has a big fuel cell in the back elimnitaning the cargo space and the insight just plainly sucks hummers. |
