I hope a thread like this isnt frowned upon, I like both cars and am looking for some real world info.
I just found out the transmission on the car I owe $7550 on is going out, and Id like to at least get the $2k trade in value on it and roll the rest into financing before it totally gives out. Given this situation, Ive narrowed my search down to the Insight or the Prius(was also considering a Jetta TDI, but my girlfriend thinks its too girlie

) I realize this is an insight forum, so your opinions may be a bit skewed, but Id really appreciate any thoughts you all might have.
btw, I drove the Insight today and liked it, though the sales guy I worked with sucked. Probably going to go test drive the Prius tomorrow!
