Hyundai Accent
Hyundai Accent
Price: $13,175
Highway MPG: 36
City MPG: 27
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,543
Annual CO2 Produced: 6.2 tons
Comments: The hatchback version of this vehicle isn’t that bad looking. It’s over 2,000 cheaper than the Forte and Rio, with the same great warranty and fuel economy.

Mini Cooper
Price: $20,100
Highway MPG: 36
City MPG: 28
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,613
Annual CO2 Produced: 6.0 tons
Comments: The Mini Cooper has looked the same for at least a decade (and pretty close to the original back in the 50′s. It’s a sexy little car, but read reviews inside and out, it has a lot of critics questioning its reliability.

Ford Fusion Hybrid (same vehicle as Mercury Milan Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid)
Ford Fusion Hybrid (same vehicle as Mercury Milan Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid)
Price: $28,240
Highway MPG: 36
City MPG: 41
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,187
Annual CO2 Produced: 4.8 tons
Comments: The Ford Fusion is nearly identical to the Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ, all of which come in a hybrid form. If price is your goal, the Fusion is easily the cheapest of the three. Still, compared to the Prius, Insight, and Camry hybrids, which all have better fuel economy, its price tag is too high. Ford is putting out an all-electric Focus in 2012. At the right price, it should be a game changer in the electric and hybrid markets.

Comments: You know my love for the Ford Fiesta. It was my pick for the best inexpensive vehicle of 2011. Welcome back, Ford.

Honda CR-Z
Honda CR-Z
Price: $19,200
Highway MPG: 39
City MPG: 35
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,251
Annual CO2 Produced: 5.1 tons
Comments: No, it’s not a typo. This is indeed the Honda CR-Z – not the CR-V. A sporty hybrid for under $20K? Also not a typo. Great job on this one, Honda.

Smart ForTwo
Price: $12,635

City MPG: 33
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,389
Annual CO2 Produced: 5.2 tons
Comments: Golf Car on steroids. If you’re going to charge over $12,000 for this car, at least make people feel like they are getting a good value and add in AC and a CD player!

Audi A3 (Diesel)
Audi A3 (Diesel)
Price: $30,250
Highway MPG: 42
City MPG: 30
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,469
Annual CO2 Produced: 6.2 tons
Comments: It broke my $30,000 rule, but only by $250, so I decided to include it. Note that with the diesels that make this list, annual fuel costs are actually higher than some of their gasoline counterparts because the cost of diesel has been higher than gasoline. They also put out slightly more pollution.

Volkswagen Jetta TDI (Diesel)
Price: $22,995
Highway MPG: 42
City MPG: 30
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,469
Annual CO2 Produced: 6.2 tons
Comments: The latest generation Jetta TDI (diesel) gets a nice 42 mpg highway, but at $5k more than the Volkswagen Golf (which gets the same, it’s hard to make an argument for it.

Highway MPG: 42
City MPG: 30
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,469
Annual CO2 Produced: 6.2 tons
Comments: Convenient hatchback, good looking, great mileage, and affordable. A little pricier than similar hatchbacks, but the added mpg might make it worth it.

Comments: Compared to the new Honda Insight and the competing Toyota Prius, the Civic Hybrid seems overpriced.

Honda Insight Hybrid
Price: $18,200
Highway MPG: 43
City MPG: 40
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,131
Annual CO2 Produced: 4.6 tons
Comments: Honda got it right here, but the Insight hasn’t received its due press. A hybrid that gets over 40 mpg in the city and highway for only $18k? Why isn’t this car more popular than it is! Perhaps the old (ugly) Insight model is dragging down its image.

2. Toyota Prius Hybrid
Price: $21,600
Highway MPG: 48
City MPG: 51
Annual Fuel Cost: $927
Annual CO2 Produced: 3.8 tons
Comments: The Toyota Prius is in its 3rd generation, and it is still the most economical hybrid out there at almost 50 mpg highway and city. On price alone, the Insight gives it a run for its money. Is the extra fuel economy worth the extra $3,400.

Nissan Leaf Electric
Nissan Leaf Electric
Price: $25,280 (after federal tax credit of $7,500)
Highway MPG: 99 (equivalent)
City MPG: 99 (equivalent)
Annual Fuel Cost: $561
Annual CO2 Produced: 0
Comments: The Nissan Leaf qualifies for a $7,500 federal tax credit this year, pushing its MSRP down to $25,280. Some states are offering a matching $7,500 credit. If yours does, you have to seriously consider it as your next new car before these credits dry up.
