How is the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid vs. Insight?

I need a reliable used hybrid to get to and from work, as my job transferred me to an office that’s almost 50 miles away from my house. I don’t want to spend a ton, so a 2012 Civic Hybrid or an Insight seem like great options. Is a 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid or an Insight the better car?

Going 100 miles round-trip every day definitely warrants an upgrade to a hybrid vehicle. While both the
Honda Insight
and
Honda Civic Hybrid
have evolved over the past decade, the 2012 models are still great value buys. The main difference between them is cargo space, as the Insight has a hatchback while the Civic Hybrid is a sedan—if size is a concern, the Insight might be the better option.
Here’s a quick glance at the 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid vs. the Insight:
2012 Honda Civic Hybrid
  • Engine: 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor
  • Horsepower and torque: 110 hp and 127 pound-feet of torque
  • Fuel economy: 44 mpg combined
  • Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive
2012 Honda Insight
  • Engine: 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor
  • Horsepower and torque: 98 hp and 123 pound-feet of torque
  • Fuel economy: 42 mpg combined
  • Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive
Since both vehicles feature smaller engines and are 10 years old, you should be able to get a decent price on your car insurance policy, but only if you download the
