Honda's latest hybrid has what it takes to break up the Prius party.

Reason 1: It costs less than any other new hybrid.

Starting at just $19,800, the Insight undercuts both the cheapest Toyota Prius ($22,400) and Honda's own Civic Hybrid ($23,800) by several thousand dollars. And if you step up to more lavishly-equipped trim levels with navigation systems and premium stereos, the difference grows even larger. While the Insight's EPA estimated mpg of 40 city/43 hwy falls short of the Prius' 50 city/48 hwy and the Civic Hybrid's 40 city/45 hwy, if you actually do the math you'll find it would take many years to spend their differences in price ($2,600+) on the extra gas for the Insight. And don't forget that the EPA numbers are only estimates. Some real-world tests of the Insight have returned as much as 63 mpg!
