Reader Review of the Week: 2010 Honda Insight

“I got this car mainly for the fuel mileage. I chose it over the Prius because of the lower cost, although I was tempted to get the Prius because of its significantly higher miles per gallon rating. However, after putting about 1,000 miles on the Insight, I have been surprised to find out that it actually gets about the same mpg as the Prius!

“I am getting 49.1 mpg, which is pretty close to what the Prius is advertised to get. I drive on freeways a lot, and on the freeway I am getting about 52 mpg; on city streets, about 43-44 mpg. If you can get it at a good price, it is worth it.”
