i HIGHLY reccomend the VW TDI, or any of their other smaller motors, like the 1.8T. TDI gets like 45mpg city, more on the highway. Here, the deisel fuel is cheaper too.

Cheaper fuel + Better mileage = win win situation.

Also, unless you wait for the new 04 model of the prius, the Hybrids are waay underpowered for the most part. The VW is superb at performance, but better than real-world number than the hybrids. Plus it looks better (imo) and is more comfortable. i belive they have a TDI wagon too, for cargo space if ya need it. Though Audi makes expensive parts, it will be cheaper to fix, and easier to find a trult qualified technician than ANY of the hybrids.

Just my $0.02 , but i absolutely reccomend used (get certified if possible. Killer warranties on those things usually) and a turbo deisel for gas mileage. The civic is highly overrated. For its price, its not that good of an econobox, not all that powerful, and gas mileage isn't as great as most uninformed consumers think.
