What with the rising cost of fuel and increasingly strident anti-car lobby making lives particularly unpleasant for the 21st century British motorist, it has never been a better time to buy an environmentally-friendly car. And, happily, that no longer means buying something hideously slow and unappealing.

Honda CR-ZThe Honda CR-Z makes the shortlist for one very good reason -- it proves that hybrid technology doesn't have to be boring. Not only does it look fantastic, but it's also great to drive and extremely good value for money. And on top of all this, it should return more than 50mpg. |

Renault TwizyThe Renault Twizy isn't exactly going to work if you have a 100-mile daily commute, or if you're planning on taking the family on holiday. However, the Twizy is an innovative solution to your inner-city commuting woes, and thanks to its head-turning looks, ultra-low running costs and fun driving experience, it makes it into our final three. |
