They handle much nicer than similar non-hybrid vehicles

According to the Car and Driver Road Test, one of the Honda Insight's "lows" was its "Humpty Dumpty handling."

Of the 11 categories polled, the Toyota Prius received its lowest User's Road Tests ratings for its handling.

Add a few hundred pounds to a compact Japanese car and -- especially if fuel efficiency is key -- handling must be compromised.

I don't know about the Insight. We needed a practical family car, and the Insight is a 2 seater. We have never driven one.

As for the Prius, the ride was a 9.11 out of 10, and it's overall rating was a 9.64 out of 10 on the User's Road test.

Like I said, my husband liked it much better than the other cars he test drove, but this really isn't the issue on this thread.

The issue is the poor children that died. You were just making some cheap shots at hybrid owners for some unknown reason. Since I have a hybrid, I take offense at your remarks.
