How is the Honda Insight vs Hyundai Elantra Hybrid?

In an effort to go green and demonstrate eco-responsibility to my kids, I’m switching from a gas guzzler to a hybrid. I narrowed down my choices to either the Insight or the Elantra Hybrid, but I can’t make a decision. Between the Honda Insight vs the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, which is the better car?
