Recomend a Eco Car

Mr.Boots

Please recomend me an economical smallish car for 3-4k
was thinking along the lines of a Smart as they look good wraped for advertising purposes (killing two birds with one stone)
what else should i consider?
This will be a second car by the way.

Mr Benevolent

You'll find it hard to find a good Smart in Ireland, they're quite rare. If you avoid the dreaded Polo and Golf (plus derivatives such as the 1-1.4l Fabia, A2, Leon, Ibiza, Octavia etc) you won't go far wrong.

Yaris ftw.

What's wrong with the polos and golfs?

Quirky all right, but not for 4K.

It's got no picture and there aren't many around at the price you want but this should do ya:http://www.carzone.ie/search/Toyota/Yaris/D4D-LUNA/201044200071616/advert?channel=CARS
Ultra reliable and 3.4L/100k per tank. Cant go wrong!

Or why not buy something that's fun as well as little, like a 106 GTi:

A nice 04/05 Civic Hybrid?

Mr.Boots

Hmmm,
Cant see a hybrid civic for that money.
Panda wont cut it im afraid.
The 106 is a nice car, but not realy an eco car, plus it has a bit of an image if you know what i mean.
Whats dreaded about a polo golf btw? i dont get it.

Any other ideas?
