    Whatever you can afford.
    And the the cheapest option.

    Out of that list I'd go for the Prius. If you learn to drive it effectively they can be quite frugal. Small diesel engines are not as good with the MPG as people would think, also on the motorway they will can be fairly noisy at 70.

    I was leaning towards the prius.. but wondered it suited mainly motorway driving... is there a battery replacement issue with older prius ?
