which econo-based hybrid would you buy for your daily driver?
I need a better MPG car...I can get a deal on a used 05 Insight or employee used 06 Prius.
Insight would still be almost $10K cheaper...

A Prius all the way. The Prius has four doors and can fit more people and it looks a lot better than an Insight (the syling of these cars are subjective) but that's my opinion. I'm sure the next generation Prius will get better gas mileage, probably grow in size and just be a much more improvment than the last generation.

From the two choices I'd have to choose the Prius since both are ugly, but the Insight is just plain horrible looking. Otherwise I'd probably choose another hybrid like either the Civic Hybrid or Camry Hybrid even if I don't get the best hybrid fuel economy. But like some have already read, I'd probably wait a few years until the technology improves even more, and the prices become more attractive.

I would take it over either the Prius or the Insight....for several reasons

EPA MPG rating (City/Highway) for 05 Insight is 60/66 and 06 Prius is 60/51.
However, I would not buy the Insight if it's your only car. But I would get the Insight AND a used Civic or Corolla with the 10K saving.

I have an 02 Tacoma Doublecab too (and a Lexus IS250 that I won't mention)
the Insight I can get a deal for is a CVT = 57/56mpg 05 $15k 13k miles (I don't think I'll have a problem getting that mielage since I can get 32mpg with the 250)
06 Prius, thru a friend...either a 6 month employee used Prius with about 6k miles for supposedly way under invoice or about $6K off sticker price (since its essentially a used car). Not sure about the tax credit yet, unknown if these are previously titled cars or not. I'll find out for sure tonite.....can also get new for slightly less than invoice.
