The Best Fuel-Efficient Cars
In these troubled and tumultuous times, the average U.S. citizen has to consider downsizing his or her lifestyle to meet the economic of today, and this includes cars.
The days of the almighty SUV have come and are now on the way out. The rising and the continuously rocky economy is to blame. However, there may be some good that comes out of this situation just yet.
In light of the recent situations, companies have looked at the needs of consumers once again and redesigned their lineups to feature great eco-friendly bargain cars. So what are the best buys out there?
The Mazda3
The little Mazda 3 is the of the Mazda line up. It's small and compact but packs a nice pick-up and a pretty comfortable right. The brakes are impeccable. I've been driving the little guy for two years and I've been more than satisfied. Coming off the wonder that is an SUV I was a little concerned about downsizing so much but I took to it like a fish to water. The savings I've experience at the pump have been more than worth the downsize. The is good for about 350-400 miles to the tank in driving, not to shabby at all. The biggest complaints I have with the Mazda is it's road noise, it can be pretty bad, but different tires rectify that situation fairly quickly. The Mazda three is looking at a fuel economy of 24/30. with a starting price hovering around $15,000.
The Honda Fit
The Fit is one of the nicest sub-compacts i've seen out there. I've driven one and it's comfortable. There is very little road noise and it handles like a finely tuned vehicle. I can't say enough about Honda's commitment to quality, even with their less expensive ventures. The fit's interior is actually pretty spacious. While I'm short I expected the backseat to still be cramped, it absolutely was not. I had plenty of room in the back and front. Parking it is a dream if you tend to around the block looking for a spot in the bigger cities. The Fit gets a solid 28/34 mpg. It's 107hp engine may not be all that speedy but it gets the done. The Fit starts at almost $14,000.
The Hyundai Elantra
Hyundai has really picked up their game in the last five years and I must say I am impressed with what they have done. The Elantra has gone from a beater car to a beautifully styled vehicle. It looks good, drives good and packs in all the bells and whistles of other companies. Couple that with Hyundai's 10 year/100,000 mile warranty and you just can't beat it. The Elantra gets a solid 25/33 mpg and starts at just over $13,000 for the base model.
The Vue Greenline
If you got to go "SUV" consider the Vue Greenline by Saturn. The hybrid SUV offers up all the seating and hauling capabilities of your average SUV without the wallet bashing at the gas pump. Saturn has been an up and comer in recent years, in my opinion, and has worked pretty hard at styling some sturdy vehicles. The newest generation of the Vue is definitely the nicest looking vehicle that has rolled off the assembly line. It's sleek and comfortable. It's biggest bonus is that it allows the SUV crowd to keep their style without signing over their paycheck to Exxon. The Vue has an estimated MPG of 25/32, but that remains to be seen. According to Saturn the car is not yet widely available. It has a starting price in the mid to upper 20k range, so it packs a bigger initial punch than the above listed vehicles but might be a good option for those SUV-lovers out there.
