Not all small cars are created equal, so if fuel economy is your priority, we have you covered.
1ST: 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid – $22,600 base price
Is the Civic Hybrid a ringer? Maybe, but it is also the most fuel efficient small car on the market. Yes, we know the Civic is already listed here, but we think customers put hybrids in a separate category in their minds, so we did here, too. With the Civic Hybrid, you get all the drivability of the regular Civic, but with a huge increase in gas savings.
