My first one!!!

I have never seen one before, and it took me a while to realise what it was.

Funny looking thing. Is it really the future of motoring???

No it isn't. Luckily. Buy a VW Wiesel instead and get back seats and wheels that go round corners with 55+mpg ... Unless you like the Insight's interior in which case buy an S2000.

Trefor - taken it you've driven one then? - or have you tried another hybrid?

Yes, but the Insight will do over 70mpg...And it handles very well. All to do with being light you see.

Stu - I did a back to back comparison of the Honda Insight and the Toyota Prius...

Quite entertaining when other people realise your car isn't making "engine" sounds... and even more amusing when you tell them it's a petro-electric hybrid and then out accelerate them in the drag from the traffic lights
