Been offered a 2008 Prius with 260,000 km for $3500, so might possibly take that. At this point a new car is kind of a necessity, lol.
Funny how similar the 2nd gen Prius and 2nd gen Insight look. I like Honda but I see more Priuses than Insights by far; with all the taxi companies using Priuses I should opt for one to obtain part-outs easily.

One of the key reasons you see the Prius instead of the Insight as a taxi is size but there is another reason.
The Prius has electric accessories so the A/C stays on when the engine turns off. The Insight still has a belt driven A/C compressor so when the engine turns off you loose A/C. That isn't acceptable in a taxi.
