Which type of car?

I'm new to this site and not even sure if I'm in the right forum, but I'll ask my questions anyway. Let me know if you want me to go away!

I live in Homer, AK, which is a very small town. I need to buy a new car. We only drive at most a few miles/day with an occasional 20 mile day. Once a year or 2 years we make the 450 mile r/t drive to Anchorage.

I can't decide on a hybrid like the Prius C or an econobox efficient gas car like the new Chevy Spark.

Can you folks please help me decide or send me to the proper forum?

Thanks
