Read a ton of stuff before I ran out and got one. Paid invoice and am getting $3,000 back from work. I got a $22,000 car for $17,000. I love it. I've seen many comparisons to the Prius. I skipped the Prius because it was so expensive. People who complain it's not quick miss the point. I am amazed at the technology it comes with. Traction control? Climate control? LED lights? Paddle shifters? I am getting close to 50 mpg. Typical (excellent) fit / finish for a Honda.
My Experience with 2010 Honda Insight
I got a 2010 Honda Insight two weeks ago. I was considering an equivalently optioned Honda Civic non-Hybrid but my Insight was only $1,500. In addition, it gave me more space, split seats, and better interior along with the higher MPG. Sleeker modern look. Drives tighter than the Prius I test drove and more peppy. Prius rolled more in turns. More HP than the Civic gas I test drove since electric motor augments gas motor. I've been averaging 48 MPG without much effort so I am puzzled by the EPA rating. Some reported Prius was actually getting less but Insight more than the EPA MPG. My experience confirmed this, at least for the Insight. Therefore, Prius is worth the thousands more.

Exceeds My Expectations
Fun to drive. Love the GPS, hands free cell phone, and I-Pod features. Display panel excellent. I couldn't be happier with my choice! Quiet - little road noise. Very solid.
Great car
We previously had a 2003 VW Passat 1.8T, which was fun to drive but in the shop more than on the road. This car obviously isn't as sporty, but is great for its target audience. It's much more roomy than it appears, and performs its function with aplomb. We're getting about 42 mpg normally, although my wife got ~50 mpg on the highway somehow. As long as you acknowledge that this isn't a sports car, the performance is great. You do have to pretty much floor it to get on the interstate, but that's the only time I notice any lack of power. The car's mpg game is pretty addictive, and really helps make it fun.
I'm liking it but...
I also own a 2009 Honda Fit Sport w/Navi so my comments will include that comparison. An all electric vehicle/plug-in vehicle will fit my driving habits (short trips) perfectly and either the Insight or the Fit will leave when a decent one is available. I've had the Insight for about 3 weeks and I have to admit the look of it continues to grow on me. Like some I never thought it unsightly at first but I like its looks more each day. I hit my head getting out sometimes and I'm only 5' 9". I really miss having the stereo (loudness) controls on the steering wheel like the Fit. I'm only getting 37 m.p.g. with ECO button on and careful driving. My Fit gets 34 so I hope this improves soon.
