I would have bought a Fit Hybrid if I could get a reasonable deal on it, but I couldn't.

The Insight however was so cheap that at first I refused to take the deal seriously, but it was sold by a Honda dealer and even the slick story (first owned by an old man) turned out to be true, judging by the shaky pencil notes in the manual

Still do have a weak spot for the Fit, the sizeable extra storage space under the rear bench is a real gem, so was the panoramic roof in EX trim.

The Fit and the Insight share the same base btw. They both seat 3 in the back, if they don't mind touching each other. The Insight has less head space, esp. for the middle passenger who sits on a raise; I can't sit there without bowing my head (I'm 6 feet long)
