And maybe a toy for me to use after
Totally a chicks car but super fun to drive and will own most cars on the track, several cars run them on the track and do very well.

I just wanted to complete this thread and close it by saying.. YES I found the car this past weekend. Its a Honda Civic Hybrid. The only change I'll make to the car is the wheels... gotta upgrade that crappy wheels to a 17"
Sure I lose like 2mpg.... but at 44mpg, that's not a huge loss. And this car will last quite a while. The best of all worlds - reliable, gas frugal, young and hip/cool Civic. My daughter will be pleased.

Also, on the wheel upgrade - be careful as it could make the car a LOT slower too. The hybrid's wheels/tires are skinny and light for fuel economy.
