Since I'm single and the likelyhood of that status changing anytime soon is slim... The cars I'm somewhat interested in are the Honda Fit (I think thats the name) and the European Smart. Both are two seater small cars and at least the Smart is marketed as being able to park on the curb perpendicular to traffic it is so short. Granted when I was in Germany several years ago I saw the Smart cars and found them to be ugly but to me a car is a utility item not one that I use to "win friends and influence people" or anything. The main appeal of those two is supposedly they get great mileage since they are so light/small and then the fact that I rarely if ever really need to carry other people.
