Antone Bual: It WAS the Honda Insight. As for which can be had cheaper USED, the Prius has been around longer and was never much more expensive than the Insight, so an early Prius is probably slightly cheaper. But an early Insight is probably a better buy if you don't need a back seat (it can keep running after the battery dies).Now? The Prius (at least in north america)...Show more
Long Woltjer: Well, the cheapest hybrid car available would probably be a used model, such as the now discontinued Honda Insight (introduced in the US as the 2000 model year) or the older NHW11 sedan version of the Toyota Prius (2001-2003 model years). (BTW: Toyota had the first commercially available hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, introduced in Japan in 1997 for the 1998 model year, but Honda beat Toyota to the US market with the Insight in 1999 for the 2000 model year.)In! the US, there are several hybrid vehicles to choose from, in various size and performance categories. MSRP is listed for the US models.

For such a comparison, I suggest using the state of Colorado's alternative fuel veh! icle tax credit information, where the state has already computed the incremental price difference of adding the hybrid drivetrain to various models (as the amount of available state income tax credit is based on this incremental difference): http://www.revenue.state.co.us/fyi/html/income09.h...and don't forget to include any potential tax incentives (federal and state) into your purchase price! http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/tax_hybrid.shtmlNote that depending on manufacturer and where purchased, the hybrid battery is covered by a full (not pro-rated) warranty of 8 years/80,000 miles out to 10 years/150,000 miles. Hybrid battery replacements are quite rare, and can be found much cheaper (Hybrids do cost less in the long term than their conventional counterparts. (Intellichoice used a 5 year ownership comparison in 2006) See http://www.intellichoice.com/press/Hybrid-Survey-2... and http://www.intellichoice.com/carBuying101/HypeOver...While Consumer Reports in 2006 only foun! d the Toyota Prius and the Honda Civic Hybrid would pay off within the ! same 5 year frame. The Honda Accord Hybrid, the Ford Escape Hybrid, the Lexus RX400h, and the Toyota Highlander Hybrid were also studied.(I'll note that there was a mathematical error in the initial publication of Consumer Reports' hybrid vehicle cost analysis, which a retraction was published later... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11637968/ )Since this publication, many more hybrid models have become available, so I can't use this to say about hybrids "in general." However, in the US, the Toyota hybrids have sold so many that they no longer qualify for the US Federal hybrid vehicle income tax credit, but Honda and others still have theirs....Show more
Joie Libutti: I want to say toyota Prius.
Tyree Allenbrand: I think it's a prius too, at least for a full-blown dual mode hybrid. It's as sophisticated mechanically as anything you can get right now.
Carli Watterson: the Toyota Prius is a great hybrid for around 20k depending on features
