Still better numbers than my Audi, but you guys are paying more for gas than we are, so those fill-ups will hurt your wallet after a while. But for driving safety, you can't beat AWD in my opinion.

The new '08 Civics get around 26/city and 35/highway depending on the package you get. The new Civic hybrids run about $22K, but get 40/city and 45/highway, that's pretty damn awesome! The new Matrix is 25/city, 31/highway and has a slightly bigger and more HP engine than the Civic and Prius.
If I could get that Civic Hybrid for 22K I would probably do it.
