2000 Honda Insight
MPG: 51
Estimated cost: $4,760 - $6,350

That doesn't mean they're all dream cars though.
The ultra-thrifty two-seat insight gets the best mileage of any car on this list. And Consumer Reports applauds its reliability. But the magazine does note some serious downsides.
"The interior is cramped, noisy, and uncomfortable, and the ride is hard. Among hybrids, both the Toyota Prius and the Honda Civic Hybrid are better cars," Consumer Reports' Web site notes.
NEXT: 2004 - '06 Toyota Prius
