I like all your post. I will keep visiting this blog very often. It is good to see you verbalize from the heart and your clarity on this important subject can be easily observed.

While the Volt is an electric car with an engine for backup, a Prius is mostly powered by its engine. The Prius battery stores regenerated braking energy, helps with acceleration.Best Dedicated Hosting

My wife and I own a 2007 Prius and a 2010 Insight. While the Prius has a nicer interior, the Insight is more fun to drive and gets better MPG depending on driving style. Both seem very reliable.

Honda always made reliable cars and this one is no different. You can put 250K on it and don’t have to worry about it.

Bob Moyer,
Electric drivetrains lose very little in efficiency over time. Batteries definitely will lose some of their capacity. In hybrids, that will manifest itself mostly in reduced performance, not in lower fuel economy or increased emissions.
Pure electric vehicles, however, will, of course, be just as clean and efficient at 100k and 200k miles as they were new. This is why I see them as being a greater future than todays hybrids with minimal electric capability.

This is all nice info, but it applies to new. They all drive out well. What about cars that have been on the road for several years. I drive Buick Park Ave and LaSabre. Both have 100,000+ and drive like new and get 25+ mpg in everyday driving with only routine maintenance. With the job situations today, more people are looking for new.

Thanks for the heads-up. The dealers here in Baltimore totally suck when it comes to buying a Prius. I’ve tried on three occasions and always ended up with something else because I refused to pay a surcharge.

As far as my son’s “luck” 6 years from now – the back seats of the insight do fold down and I had the windows tinted as part of my deal to buy the car – hmmmm… maybe I shouldn’t give the car to my son.

"I also know of a friend’s college son that disappointingly took over his parent’s first generation Prius when they bought their second generation Prius. His disappointment abated when he found that the girls he was dating noticed that he was spending less money and time on his car than the other guys did, and spent more time and money on them. May your son have the same “luck” six years from now."

It's pretty unlikely that the Insight will incur substantial *ownership* savings over a Fusion/Milan Hybrid -- and believe me, it'll be much easier, physically, to enjoy the "luck" in the back seat of a Fusion/Milan than the back seat of an Insight...
