Bottomline The 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid excels in fuel economy and front-seat comfort. The 2009 Toyota Prius is not a driver’s car, but it delivers excellent fuel economy in a versatile package. It's been a long time coming back, but the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen gives crossover buyers something else to consider―and diesel power is on the way.
