"  The 2011 Honda Insight is perhaps the best value you can get in a high mileage (40+ combined) car. For, what it lacks in spirited driving characteristics and a less refined-feeling hybrid system, it makes up for with real-world practicality and usability. The Insight&amp;#039;s narrow profile makes it less sure-footed than other cars, but it was smooth on the highway. As opposed to other hybrid systems, which offered smoother transitions in GHRI tests, Honda&amp;#039;s Integrated Motor Assist is a bit more perceivable, as the engine shuts off at stops, and quickly starts back up when accelerating. The transmission and gear shifting is more noticeable (by feel and audibly) during spirited driving, while more subdued driving will hide these transitions. An eco-mode dulls acceleration but provides slightly improved mileage. Unlike the tiny two-door, early 2000&amp;#039;s Honda Insight, the current Insight is a much more practically sized four-door vehicle. It also integrates an updated version of the hybrid system, which Honda calls &amp;#039;Integrated Motor Assist.&amp;quot; Priced more reasonably than the Prius, the Insight competes in the same ultra-efficient realm. It&amp;#039;s aerodynamic constraints force the Insight into a similar body profile as the Prius, which feels narrow, and creates an off-angle rear windshield and blind spots that take some getting used to. In addition to our fuel economy, we loved the simple instrument panel. The speedometer sits conveniently just below the windshield and other dash information is very simply laid out and easy to see. Other interior controls were also simple and effortless, and a car seat popped right in.  Fuel Economy (City/Highway/Combined): 40/43/41 mpg  Size Class: Compact  Drivetrain: Gas Hybrid  Base Price: $18,970 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
