What can I say - I like high performance cars!
The Metro had the best non-hybrid fuel economy performance (per EPA) during its production run (well, no hybrid competition until 1999).
Mirage holds the same title currently.

Honestly, I do try to be conscious of lifestyle inflation. I was only half joking when I said the top trim (loaded) Mirage felt like the lap of luxury compared to what I'm used to.
Plus, let's be honest: these cars are cheap, and that suits my budget! Cheap to buy, cheap to fuel, cheap to maintain/repair. Helps that they're decently reliable too.
