Hey gang ..

I am looking to trade in my 2007 Camry Hybrid for a 2010 Honda Insight.

I have done research putting the Insight and the Prius in a side by side comparison and I know what the Prius can do. It's biggest drawback is price based on the amenities I am looking for. The Honda wins hands down in my case.

I know the insight has its limitations, but I want to hear from those who own them or know of them. My biggest concerns are how to optimize use of the electric motor. I have no fear that I can average more than 50mpg out of the insight, but wanted to know about the overall experience of owning one.

Thank you
