I am thinking about for a 1990-2000 year toyota- an echo maybe. What do you think is good- anything slightly bigger then an echo (but not a boat)? I am looking for automatic, NOT stick-shift.
Get a Civic, very dependable, good on gas, average size and a nice looking car

VW Jetta gets the best compact car city MPG. 29-30 city miles, approx. But if you’re looking at Toyota, the Corolla is your best bet.
If you’re looking subcompact, I’d go with the Toyota Yaris. It has the highest city miles of the the sub-compacts on the market, according to the EPA.
