If you like utility, as well... I'd agree with the Honda Fit (sport, manual), and add the Subaru Impreza hatchback ..
 
I like hatchbacks in small cars.. I might pick the Mazda, too... but, only the hatchback model (more money, bigger engine, more fun, worse mileage).

+1 vote for test driving the Honda Fit. More utility than the sedans, and more fun to drive than the Toyota.

The Impreza isn't that imprezzive in the fuel economy area, but fits otherwise.
 
Another car to check out for a small, roomy, versatile car with good handling and fuel economy is the Elantra Touring.

Well.... I started with the Honda Fit on my list. Until I test drove it. It felt so gutless...even the manual seemed to scream at me when I accelerated. It felt too much like a tin can to me.... and the plastic dash was a real turn-off as well. The gas mileage would be awesome, and I like the looks of the Fit... but it has fallen off my list after a test drive.

I'll have to consider the Suburu.... I did hope get a little better MPG... but it matches most of my needs.
 
The Elantra Touring is something I'll have to look at.... I just am a bit skeptical of anything with the Hyundai name on it... though I think they'll improved their quality since those early cars that seemed to fall apart.

Yes, check the calendar, it is indeed 2009, not 1989.

What would be my perfect car? by goatee

Everyone has different tastes and little things that bother them. In a perfect would & In my opinion my next vehicle would be.
1.Made by GM - Ford or Chrysler in the USA.
2.AWD available
3.Gas filler door must be on the driver side - I don't know of any passenger who fills the tank with gas. This is a rediculous design & I dont care what the reasoning is.
 
I don't think such a car or vehicle exists other than a large SUV.

Yeah.. the Subaru mileage will be down in the Mazda3 2.3 litre range... but, it does have nice acceleration, AWD, and a hatchback option... That's what would knock the Civic out for me... No four-door hatch available..
 
But, I just got 30.5 mpg on my last tank...

Of course, that was in city driving, right?
 
I don't see how the Civic can be considered as a "versatile" vehicle.
 
Speaking of SUVs, though--just read a review in my local paper of the 2010 Equinox. I think it's made in the USA, it's very roomy, versatile of course (big cargo area), and best of all is rated 22/32 mpg with the direct-injection I4 and 6AT. That is comparable to mid-sized sedans and even many smaller cars. Might be worth checking out.
