Went and test drove couple of cars last week (based on wife's wish list)
My rankings are as follows.
Note that this is IN MY OPINION only, if it differs from yours, go and test drive them yourself.
1) Golf tsi - Best of the lot in terms of performance and comfort but jerks at low speed. Maybe something to do with the DSG. Also the most expensive
2) Peugeot 308T - Approaching the Golf, reasonably fast, feels ok but not as comfortable. Somehow does not feel as solid. Price is good.
3) Prius - quiet at low speed but tyre noise starts to creep in at high speed. Great to drive in traffic jams. Performance is reasonable, not as good as the above 2 but as expected.
4) Insight - Easily worst of the lot, however it's also the cheapest so cannot complain too much. As for performance whoever says its fast must have been driving a kancil his/her whole life. CVT is f@cking noisy why can't they do it like the prius? Handling is so so.
Dont mind the Golf & 308T, but prius 1.8 atkinson output is not far off of Insight's 1.3 otto. From my experience, test driving session will give u only that much of impression of a car compared to owning one. 200km/h is fast for normal driver. I guess u're a champ level.

And comparing Prius's handling vs Insight, u really need to test it again. Really. At least not so so
