Lets do the maths, it's really not that hard.
Honda Insight $48,990 (3.2l/100km combined)
Honda Civic GLi 1.7l four door sedan $23,950 (7.1l/100km combined)
Let's go with $1.50 a litre ($6.60/gallon) to give the Insight a sporting chance. I'll also ignore the higher cost of finance and insurance on a car costing twice as much.
Works out to 428,000km to break even with a Civic. Who here has a car that's broken even with a Civic?
For there to be any used Insights there would have to have been people stupid enough to have bought one new. That didn't happen. I've only ever seen one. I'd buy one if I could, and happy in the knowledge some shmuck got taken for a ride on the original depreciation.
There are certainly some newer hybrids that can be justified, the 1st Gen just isn't one of them.
