In search of a gas friendly DD that's not diesel
I am in search of a DD that's around 20k that is not diesel. I know VW CDI (I believe that's what is called for their diesel lineup) gets a pretty good mileage but it's pretty hard finding diesel in california and I'd really want access to fuel whenever I need it (like a long D trip or so). So I am ruling diesel out.
I'd like about 30-35+ MPG since this is a DD. I was giving some serious thought to Prius and Insight and they are the front-runners at the time, but just the thought of a boring hybrid... sigh.. Is there anything else I am forgetting? I am planning on turning M3 into a weekend car in hopes of saving gas money and mileage since putting miles on the car just on commuting back and forth work, I think I can better use the miles. Anyways, thanks for your suggestions!

Hardtop Mini Coop. 37mpg highway. Frugal and way more fun than a Prius.

I'm a huge fan of the Insight and Prius, but a Fit is a good choice if you want something that's a little more engaging to drive. The Corolla isn't a bad choice either. I've got no experience with the Versa, but it's probably a solid choice as well.
I'd take an Aveo over a Yaris. I hate them. |
