If we're talking subcompact and supermini... well... automatic transmissions and tiny engines don't often work well together. Your best bets would be a Toyota Vios 1.3 or a Honda City/Jazz 1.3. Smaller engined cars often see a bigger penalty on the highway because of too-low gearing, but can match or better these two for city economy.
If you really want good economy from a small car, the only answer, really, is to buy a manual transmission. Current automatics exert too much drag on small engines, leading to relatively poor fuel economy and performance compared to their manual counterparts.Last edited by niky; August 15th, 2009 at 03:04 PM.
