Who's the fairest of them all? (The 2010 Prius, Insight and Fusion Hybrid together)

If it was a media thing, you certainly steal the show with your Prius !

 

Your blue is beautiful!

This also could be the start of a joke: a prius, an insight and a fusion were in a parking lot together....

 

oops

 

What a cool moment. Thanks for sharing your pics.

I've been trying to park next to Insight in our parking garage at work so I could take a pic of the two together, but there hasn't been an open spot next to it.

I'd go nuts if I found the I2, Gen III, and Fusion together in a row.

 

Take a guess which one we are going to say is the fairest of them all. I mean this is Not Ford chat

 

This is a great place to ask that question for an unbiased reply...

 

For a variety of environmental, political, and national security reasons, I think the whole collection is more beautiful than any one by itself. This should be repeated in every city all over the continent.

 

From the back, the Prius wins. From the front view, the Insight wins. The Prius just looks too narrow and too tall for my taste.

However, from the inside, the Ford Fusion Hybrid beats both by a country mile. Took a test drive with the Insight and the Prius, both rode rougher than the Fusion Hy with the Insight being worst. The seats on the Prius just plain sucks dirt. NO SIDE BOLSTER on your back or hind quarters. Very uncomfortable and I can see why one poster here is selling his Prius because of back problems from this car. The Fusion hugs your body in comfort like a high end luxu-sport car. And of course, the Ford Sync is the high standard in the industry right on on the dash board.

I know this is a Prius board and most are biased, but certainly you have to admit that the Prius' short coming is its interior comfort and amenities.

 

I gotta say, as far as fit and finish goes, the fusion has the prius and insight blown out of the water. Still, I can't see the logic in paying $5,000 more for a car that gets 10mpg less. If the price were slightly lower and the mileage slightly higher, I'd definitely go for the fusion (or maybe even the milan hybrid).

 

I didn't honestly give the Fusion a fair look when shopping, but it doesn't really fit with the Prius/Insight comparison. It would be more in the Camry class. The interior of the Insight seemed stripped down, at least the one we saw on the lot.

As far as "cool", the Prius wins hands down. Can't really comment on the Insight as my wife and I both thought the same thing when we went to look at one. "Ugly!". That's as far as we got with the Insight.

So, to answer your question:

"Over the seven jeweled hills, beyond the seventh fall, in the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs, dwells (Blizzard) Snow White, fairest of them all."

 

A Prius, an Insight and a Fusion were in a parking lot together. The Insight said,

- Last week, I've been able to do 5.7 l/100 km during a trip with my owner !

"Not too bad" said the Prius. Then she replied "Last Monday, my Master and I did 3.5 l/100 km on our way home" !

"Wow" said the Insight, "very impressive" !

Then the Prius and the Insight looked at the Fusion and waited for her reply.

"Well" she said, "Yesterday my owner reached 2.5 l/100 km.

"No, that's impossible" ! said the Prius incredulously. "How can it be "?

"Well he had to walk home 30 km after drinking his bottle of Jack Daniels" !

 

I think the coolest part is how you smoothed right in between them and started taking shots while IMO stealing the show.. Good girl.

 

I actually tested all three before making my purchasing decision. I also never own a Toyota, while I have owned a Honda (twice) and Ford (twice).
The Fusion had a real nice interiol, but it was still typical American car designed, traditional and older. The exteriol was very nice and I like the look a lot, and the ride was quiet, and it had the best acceleration was the fastest. I also getting a great deal on the car with a -1000 off special coupon after the dealers best deal direct from Ford. But the killer was the fact that the back seat had no pass through at all.

The Honda Insight's best attribute was its exteriol styling and tight typical Honda ride. However, once I was sitting inside, it just felt like sitting in a subcompact car, where as both the Fusion and Pruis felt like a real midsize car.

Now that have driven my Prius for about two weeks, I am more and more impress with the car, from the ride, to the mileage (averaging about 52.6MPG on my current tank), to the size (I actually fitted a over size gas grill from Costco), to the fun of learning to drive for economy (coming from an Infiniti M35X). Overall just learning more and more to love about my Blue Ribbon Prius V with Nav.

 

I like the Insight 2 exterior, but know it's not large enough for my family. The new Prius isn't rounded enough for me, too harsh of lines IMO. But for fun and function, it wins.
