Unless you have a plug-in (which you are unlikely to find in your price range), about as much difference as the tailfins on '60s American cars made to their aerodynamic stability :-)

Other than that, I much prefer the Honda. You can get them with manual transmission (I won't drive an automatic), they have normal key start, better gauges, etc. And of course the Insight is a 2-seater, which I like.
