Well, I have a hybrid (Honda CR-Z), it has 136HP, 138lb/ft torque in a smaller package, so similar driving experience to your Golf. It also has handling modeled on a BMW M6 (the lead designer's personal ride), with sport sized tires, tuned suspension, etc. My average over 26,000 miles is 43mpg.
It was $19,000, also nicely equipped. The only large difference is the CR-Z lacks a second row, but my Fiancee arn't planning any kids in the near future, and her car's a 5 seater, so its no big deal for me.
The amusing thing is we both have fun-to-drive, reliable, economical cars, but they're unpopular because of myths and long-held-beliefs about their powertrains and small cars in general.
