Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Passat than the Honda Insight, due to its greater head- and legroom.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Passat, the Honda Insight may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
Convenience
With the Volkswagen Passat you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Honda Insight, due to its tank size and fuel economy.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Honda Insight will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen Passat.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Honda Insight will cost more in transportation costs than the Volkswagen Passat.
Dimensions
The Honda Insight is about the same width as the Volkswagen Passat.
If you go with the Honda Insight, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volkswagen Passat.
Drivetrain
The Honda Insight has much less torque than the Volkswagen Passat, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Handling
The Honda Insight has about the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Passat, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda Insight is significantly less powerful than the Volkswagen Passat. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Honda Insight and the Volkswagen Passat.
The Honda Insight has less cargo capacity than the Volkswagen Passat, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
Warranty
The basic warranty of the Honda Insight is not as nearly as extensive as that of the Volkswagen Passat.
