There are tons of Smart cars (Two) around here in Vancouver. They seem to be popular with businesses wanting little peppy cars for service people like Geek Squad type stuff. They're perfectly suited to jetting around town all day, then resting all night: no highway, no long hauls.

They're advertising the Jetta TDI on the radio now, and my friend who reviews cars for a magazine said he drove the TDI to 700km and it still had a quarter of a tank of fuel. The ads say it can go 1000kms on a single tank. Sure, it's still a combustible fuel with emissions, but it can use so much LESS to go the same distance.
