Instead of looking at something really efficient and hoping it fits you, look at what you actually need and work backwards into a car. Most any of the smaller hatches will suit most needs.

I've avoided the Prius, most likely unfairly, because I don't want to rely on batteries that suffer through New Hampshire winters and I generally just trust simpler mechanicals. But many people up here love them, and they've got plenty of space.
