I'm with Anax. I don't really think current gen hybrids are worth the extra cost. Those along with TDI and the price premium don't really make sense if you're not driving a lot of miles. I think it'd be better to get a high mpg gas and save on the initial cost. The new Elantra or Fiesta are supposed to be good cars now, or even a base Focus would hit your price point.

Like I said before, good mileage is just a bonus, so while I'm paying attention to it, it's not the absolute decision maker (or even close). Not sure if I want to wait a few years to see what has changed in hybrids. I could just as easily buy now and trade later if there is decent progression.

The Elantra and Focus are too big, and too expensive (considering they aren't what I want) in decent trim (over 20k). The Fiesta does nothing for me. Boring to look at, average mileage, and gets up there in price pretty quick also.

Damn you Anax.... Actually considering a FR-S now.......

On the edge of my pricing for sure. It actually gets decent mileage while being awesome at the same time. 25/34 mpg.
