O.P. Fuel-Efficient Cars
Bearing in mind that I live in British Columbia, Canada, a place where it doesn't snow a lot and has predominantly good weather (rains a fair bit though, but the roads are good).
I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for fuel efficient cars, something that will last me a while and my budget for this is around $10 000.

Yep
and when I said "fuel-efficient" what I meant was something that is easy on my wallet.
Right now, I was kinda considering a Matrix. If you guys have any other suggestions let me know .

RE: Fuel-Efficient Cars
I dunno what it's like in Canada, but after I spent last week comparing European to American cars, I would recommend getting an import - even if it does mean sitting on the wrong side of the car.
I heard an American boasting that his Prius Hybrid gets 42mpg. My Starlet - which is 10 years old - gets 42mpg. As does my mum's Suzuki Swift. It just seems that you guys have laxed your carbon emissions since your fuel prices were so damned low.

RE: Fuel-Efficient Cars
fuel-efficient? Small new (for the european market) cars....
But it especially depends on how you actually drive; that can make a very huge difference....

Not many options for that budget....
Actually, a Jetta can give 29-30mpg, which is about the same mileage the Matrix provides

RE: Fuel-Efficient Cars
A lot of people seem to be getting the Toyota Yaris for fuel efficiency, it doesn't look bad either.

Dear God.
My dad's 2.2L Vectra gets 41mpg.
I believe the Ford Focus gets a decent mileage, dunno what it's like over the pond though.
