Answer 1

a volvo just like Edward Cullen

Answer 2

2009 VW Jetta TDI

40 to 50 mpg yet the cleanest on the road

it will be the first automobile to meet the world’s most stringent emission control standards, California’s Tier II, Bin 5.

The Jetta will use a NOx-storage catalyst, which is basically a reservoir that temporarily holds the noxious emissions, like a particulate filter, until they can be burned off during one of the engine cycles.

In addition, the new engine will feature a common-rail fuel injection system, instead of VW’s traditional mechanical system, that uses piezoelectric fuel injectors. This technology permits higher injection pressures, which better atomize the fuel and make it easier to control pollution.

Answer 3

Porsche Boxster...its nice...

Answer 4

The Pontiac vibe is affordable, reliable (Toyota drivetrain), versatile (almost SUV like) and efficient (I get 38mpg highway on mine).  Also has excellent safety ratings.

Answer 5

Get  a 08 Honda Civic coupe. They are safe cars, they are affordable (you can get one for as low as $16k) and all the Civic models (except the SI) are ULEV. (Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle) so its not as bad for the environment as most cars. Don't go for the hybrid even though its a partial-zero emissions vehicle, the extra cost isn't worth it. Plus the batteries in those cars are over $10,000 to replace when its time too replace it, so people usually get another car, dumping that battery is not good for the environment....The Civic should be good for you. Its safe, fun to drive, comfortable, ULEV, and can get about 35mpg.

Answer 6

I HAVE to say it: A Volvo,

but if you want a good earth-friendly car, then I'd suggest these:

2008 Honda Civic Hybrid

2008 Toyota Prius

Answer 7

Subaru Forester

All 5-star crash ratings (safe), great engine, lots of room and cargo capacity, great handling, AllWheelDrive, and pretty good mileage (~28 on the highway)
