The Prius, or any hybrid for that matter, only makes sense if you drive a lot and the vast majority of your driving is in the city, which is where you real gas savings will be.

The Echo is a good choice for excellent fuel economy, and I hear that it was fairly comfortable and roomy for such a small car. Personally, I didn't like the styling of the sedan, as standing still it looks like it's making a panic stop (the hatch that came later was better looking), and I don't know if I could ever get used to having the speedometer in the centre of the dashboard. But there's no denying it was a well built car.

Good luck in your search!
