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

Reason 3: You want a car that's decently fun to drive. You know, for a hybrid.

Most hybrid buyers don't expect a ton of zip, oomph or driving excitement, and they shouldn't expect it from the Honda Insight either. But Honda usually includes at least a modicum of driver engagement with all its vehicles, and the Insight is no exception. With responsive steering, a taut ride and a firm brake pedal, it's more involving than piloting a Prius and offers more low-end torque, too. Power transitions from the electric motor to the gas engine are practically imperceptible, so it doesn't feel like you're driving a hybrid. Plus, the Eco Assist "game" is ready for playing every time you slip behind the wheel, which helps pull you closer into the driving experience.
