Even a Honda fit would be better!
A Honda Fit would be marginally better. A bicycle would be vastly better.
I wouldn't know, riding a bike around here would be a death sentence. Roadrage can often end in a drive-by in Oklahoma if the news is to be believed and drunk driving is a pretty common sight in the area I live. There's also no bike lane, usually no sidewalks and long stretches of road without a crosswalk in sight.
Or you could choose chaos and badger him to get a Prius lol.
Nothing against Prius owners, they're efficient and reliable cars.
Haven't you've heard! Priuses are cool now. Who knew a major face lift and .5 more liters would change public opinions so much.

My Prius is not cool. It just saves me money.
They stopped making the fit.
I know, sad days. They're still sold in Europe and Asia if I remember right.
I used to own an HR-V. They're good cars, but slow as stink. They took something with the wind profile of the CR-V and put the same engine in it as the '06 Civic. Still did like high 30s/low 40s on gas most of the time. So that was cool. Plus, it's pretty spacious. It just needed like 40 more hp. Or a manual. Or both.
It was built on the same platform as the Fit so it's got the neat rear seats that flip up. Seriously useful small car. I once hauled a whole ass 60" countertop halfway across the state in it. I guess they just decided the American market wants to go upsize. The Fit is probably one of the best suburban cars ever.
At least we can still buy the VW Golf.
No they did not, it's still sold in Europe. New model came out recently too.
