fallen slightly,
however, the need
to drive a more
fuel-efficient car
or SUV might

Cars:
  • Honda Civic
  • Subaru Impreza
  • Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • Audi A3
  • Saab 9-3
 
SUVs
  • Subaru Forester
  • Ford Freestyle
  • Honda Element
  • Toyota Highlander
  • Acura RDX

but they are also safe and fun to drive.  If we must pay more
to drive, it should include some fun!
