As for the new Honda Civic Hybrid it almost cost 25,000 dollars. So i did some research and ran into an ad for the new Smart ForTwo car made from the Mercedes Benz family. I found out its great for the city since its so small. Its only a two seater with a 3-inline cylinder engine thats mounted in the rear. I was happy to see that it was able to get a epa mpg rating off 33 city and 40 highway and it isnt even a hybrid. Also the car comes at a great price. You can get on for around 15,000 dollars and it comes with leather heated seats and heat power side view mirrors and a panorama sunroof. There are alot more cool things about this car and the compant that produces it. Basically everything about this car and the company is very eco-friendly. So check it out for yourself at www.smart.com . I am sure you will like what u see at the site.

When I was in France the Smart cars were all over the place (and hardly small by Paris standards). The general consensus there was that they were over priced and unsafe. There are better small cars, but you can't get them stateside
