When I was car shopping in 2013, I was looking for MPGs first and foremost. I wanted a Prius.

I wound up with the Civic because it alone of the hybrids I looked at had a manual transmission.

Sweetie: "But it's that unpleasant champagne gray color."
Me: "But it has a manual transmission."
Sweetie: "Oh, really? First one of those we've seen today. Let's take it for a spin."
