So far I have this:
Geo Metro XFi
Honda Civic CX/VX/HF/HX
Honda Insight
Something RWD that a taller rear diff can be swapped into.
Have I missed any cars that have a decent choice of gear ratios and stand a change to get good fuel economy?
Chevy Cavalier 2 dr
I had one. Gearing was so tall it was even difficult to precision park.
Unless you get a super low mileage one, now they became a 10+ year old American car and that spells trouble. While your car won't spend any gas getting towed (Top Gear reasoning) you might need to get towed quite frequently and the tows are gas guzzlers.
