Interesting, we seem to be split down the middle and all seem biased based on the type of car they drive. It also looks like us Honda guys thought about this very issue before we made a purchase. In my case it made it easier to "settle" for a Civic, having wanted a Prius first.

Did you Prius guys think of this when you purchased your car? I do understand that on both cars the "hybrid" parts are under warranty for a good long time, even more so if you live in California. I was talking about what happens when the car is so old or has so many miles the warranty is no longer.

As far as crashes go you might be correct but one of the Insight replacements was likely do to minor crash damage that did not show up right away. That story has a happy ending with Honda extending the warranty and covering most of the cost.
