VW Jetta TDI - "11.3-second 0-to-60-mph time suggests. Interestingly, that's exactly the time a fully charged '04 Toyota Prius hybrid needs to do the job. " "Jetta 1/4-mile: 18.1 sec @ 74 mph"

CVT insight the Insight "still needed 10.6 seconds to reach 60 mph"
:shock:
so car and driver as the insight cvt has .7 seconds quicker 0-60.
" as the CVT is, it can't match the five-speed manually shifted car at the drag strip. That car is half a second quicker to 60 mph and clears the quarter-mile in 18.0 seconds, 0.3 second quicker than the CVT model"
and a 5speed Insight is 1.2 seconds quiker than the TDI 0-60 and is the same speed as the TDI.
I'd trust car and driver.com over some internet video clip.
