Exactly. It just looks like a slightly more grown up Civic, and it's a lot quicker than the Prius too. It attracts zero attention, it costs basically nothing to maintain. I get 400 miles of range on about $16 bucks worth of gas. It makes you appreciate your nicer cars more but it also makes you less annoyed to have to do menial tasks. There's just something relieving about running random 5 minute errands in something that's comfortable yet zero maintenance and doesn't even feel cheap. I'm 6'3, and I can spend a few straight traffic-laden hours in it without issue. Everyone laughs at how much I love that car. It's the running joke that the car I rave about most is a damn honda insight.
Will say though, it only realistically gets high 30s for mpg in the winter. 38-40ish i'd say. I easily get 45-50 in the warmer months though. When you're used to buying exclusively premium at Shell/Exxon/Mobil for 15 years, 38 is still fantastic when you're buying regular at 7-11.
