Still I'll stick through it over losing this car. But if I have to pay 6 dollars a gallon, I may trade this in and get a smart car
Get a hybrid, buying a smart car is not so smart.

I think a fuel efficient little 4 banger makes more sense than a hybrid in terms of cost. A Civic, Corolla, or Focus gets pretty good mileage and cost way less than a hybrid. If I needed a practical little car, I'd probably get the Focus hatch.

LOL, don't get me wrong, compact car is always a good idea, it's just I wouldn't think the Smart Car is a good idea.

What my point is in response to the issue about people saying driving a Z with $5-6/gallon is not economically wise and they rather buy a Smart Car, so for similar price to a Z, a hybrid is a very good option over the Smart Car.

cheers

It's not wise to spend $30K on a car and have it sit either....
