It’s UK mpg. US mpg is around 71 MPG, I know the original goal was 3 liters ( actual fuel economy is around 3.3l) like the 3L lupo but was kind of hard to reach (and I don’t want to cheese more than I’d want to).
Can you clarify the lower two priorities? Driving experience - do you want it to taste like nothing or like something good? Size - is more better with other things constant, or is too big just too big and itself undesirable?
Driving Experience:
This Just means He is looking for a neutral no-thrills driving Experience. Of course If you can make it “better” that can be a decider.
Size:
As written, He does Not require a big vehicle. And really doesnt need a Car which is Just big for the Sake of being big

2005 Yamano Esize 1.3S
If you want to get as close as possible to a sportscar without being bankrupted by fuel costs, the inevitability of your car being stolen every time you park anywhere & barbaric insurance costs, then this piece of Japanese engineering may be the answer, the Esize.
Whilst a 1.3 may not sound like the sportiest choice, it still delivers surprisingly brisk performance, a top speed of 130MPH* and even an MPG figure of 65MPG [UK].
A prime candidate then, to be entirely forgotten by the time production ends due to low sales.
[*Top speed is 129MPH]

2005 F&N Te_
Sip, sip, sip…
That is the sound of the 2005 F&N Te_ cruising along the autobahn at 130 km/h. By the time you finish the beverage in your cup holder* the Te_ has consumed mere milliliters.
The appearance of a red sports coupe is sure to turn heads for all the right reasons. It is not faster, it is not harder**, nor is it a scooter, but it gets about the same fuel mileage as one. For legal reasons it is also not a Ferrari.
Your only reason to stop at a filling station in the foreseeable future, will be for coffee; Your Te_ needs no refill***.
The Te_ runs lean, your drink just beans.
*Cup holder not included.
**Only 19% of focus group participants found the suspension “unbearably hard”.
***Jo also, gut you will need to refuel it eventually.

The 2005 Hirose Sclera NMp
The "p" stands for the petrol saved!
Overview and Specs
A glimpse into the future of Motoring.
That was the slogan used for this car since 1999. That was also back when this car featured an all-new Hybrid powertrain only, but since then, some refinements were made, and options were added…
One of these options was an all-new petrol-only variant introduced in 2005, signified by a “p” at the end of the trim level, as seen right next to the green Hybrid variant here!
While this one in particular is only optioned with 2 seats (although more cargo space in return), it also features a decently comfortable Premium Interior, along with now standard ESC, and all the modern safety features to ensure you can ride smoothly into a new, fuel-efficient future! How fuel efficient exactly? Well, while not quite on the level of its Hybrid sibling, this NMp manages to get an average economy of…
~3.81L / 100km (~61.8 MPG US)
…Not too shabby considering it also runs on Regular 91 RON, so you’ll still be riding in style as you pass the petrol pumps!
Performance
Now, while it obviously doesn’t have any of the electrical assistance like the Hybrid, it’s petrol components are still rather similar, including its 1.3L I4 making ~86 PS, paired to its highly efficient Continuously Variable Transmission and FWD which manages to send it to 100 km/h in 9.6s, which also gives it a top speed of ~225 km/h, making it an ample cruiser as well.
It also reaches the most stringent standards of emissions, WES 11, so you can still have some peace of mind if you’re particularly eco-conscious!

Introducing the 2006 Arusa Kokaze (こかぜ). Kokaze meaning “Little Breeze,” is a radical reimagining of the commuter car. Designed from the ground up for maximum efficiency, practicality, and mobility, this compact two-seater comfortably accommodates two full-sized adults while still providing generous luggage and grocery capacity. Beneath its sleek bodywork lies an advanced 500cc turbo-supercharged inline-three engine featuring high-efficiency combustion technology and a continuously variable transmission optimized for fuel economy. The result is an astonishing fuel consumption figure of just 2.0 L/100 km while running on widely available 91 RON gasoline.
Despite producing only 58 horsepower, the Kokaze’s featherweight 590 kg construction delivers lively performance, accelerating from 0–100 km/h in just 9.4 seconds. A rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout maximizes interior packaging and traction, creating a driving experience that feels remarkably responsive and agile. With a 30-liter fuel tank, the Kokaze can travel up to 1,500 kilometers between fill-ups, offering a level of range normally associated with long-distance touring vehicles rather than city commuters.
Equipped with modern comforts and safety features including air conditioning, airbags, and a spacious, thoughtfully designed cabin, the Kokaze proves that efficiency does not require sacrifice. Reliable, practical, and exceptionally economical, it combines the operating costs of a scooter with the comfort, utility, and safety of a full automobile. Starting at just $23,400, the Arusa Kokaze is more than a commuter car—it is a bold challenge to conventional automotive thinking, built on the belief that true innovation begins by questioning every assumption.

The Constellation N1 1.0HFE. Practical Efficiency.
Efficiency. The 1.0HFE, or “High Fuel Efficiency” trim of the N1 takes everything you would expect from an N1 and optimizes it for fuel efficiency. Estimated fuel efficiency is 3.4L/100 km combined. Power is still adequate for highway merges and high-speed travel, with acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h recorded in 13.2 seconds. With a sixth gear for extreme overdrive, highway cruising speeds can typically be maintained at relaxed engine speeds in the range of 1,500 to 2,000 rpm, which means greater efficiency on long trips.
Reliability. Even with technologies such as variable valve timing and variable valve lift integrated for enhanced efficiency, the engine is built to a specification of over 550,000 km, on average, without a mechanical failure, the transmission is built to a targeted lifespan of over 950,000 km, and the vehicle as a whole is built to specification of over 300,000 km, on average, without any mechanical failure. This means that the 1.0HFE won’t just save you money on fuel; it will also save you money on operating, repair, and vehicle replacement costs over the span of years or decades.
Safety. The best way to stay safe on the road is to avoid a collision in the first place, which is why electronic stability control comes standard to assist with maintaining vehicle control during sudden or emergency maneuvers. And should a crash occur, unlike other vehicles that might use aluminum or other exotic, lightweight materials to maximize fuel efficiency, the N1 is constructed with advanced high-strength steel and a reinforced safety cage, with aluminum found only in certain non-structural body panels to reduce weight and increase efficiency.
Practicality. The N1 doesn’t ask for sacrifices in the name of fuel efficiency. Inside the 1.0HFE, you’ll find the same practical, sound-insulated cabin as in any other N1, with 4 seats and a 4-speaker AM/FM/CD sound system. Rather than shave interior materials to the brink of fragility in the name of weight-saving and efficiency, the N1’s interior materials and equipment are selected and designed for sturdiness and long-lasting operation. Electric-assist power steering provides enhanced maneuverability.
Value. The N1 1.0HFE’s value proposition starts with an MSRP of $22,900. It continues with estimated annual running costs–including service, fuel, taxes, and insurance–of about $2,400 per year. So while we know there are other more fuel-efficient vehicles on the road, we are proud to offer our customers a practical, efficient vehicle with long-term value.
