I guess I was thinking more along the lines of new vehicles, as you were mentioning the smart which is only a few years old in the USA. If that is the case, what about the Ford Fiesta, Chevy Cruze Eco, Dodge- um nevermind, Honda Fit or Civic, Toyota Corolla, Scion etc, Nissan sentra or versa, Subaru Impreza (EPA Hwy est is wrong, brand new getting 28-31 hwy per lady friends result, she is no eco modder), and any other car in this sizing. I imagine that you are looking for something reliable, having a pretty serious drive every day. Even if you buy a 1st gen hybrid, you will likely pay out some serious money. On ebay they are looking for $5k for 10 years old. As I teach my students, you need to set up a price limit, a needs list, a want list, and what you are willing to sacrifice on. If you set your boundaries before you start you will be successful in picking a vehicle that best fits you.
