Geo.

My Dad had a Geo Metro 5-speed that was getting 49 MPG in the 90's. Bought it brand new for like 10k. Sure it was a 3 cylinder that went 0-60 in ... eventually, but it'd be nice to be able to get that kind of mileage without paying out the nose for a hybrid.

    My first car was a Geo Metro that I learned to drive in. One time I got pulled over and the cop claimed I was going 80mph and I told him I didn't even think it could hit 80mph if you dropped it out of a plane. He decided against writing a ticket.
