I'm thinking about buying a new car. Can you recommend a small car that is environmentally friendly?

Great, let's take a moment to think about what you value in a car. You said it's about environmentally friendliness, but I think there are other things to consider as well. I'd say the car needs to be easy to drive and navigate. Do you know if you're a nervous driver, or confident in your driving ability?  Do you have a special need to have a car that is easy to park?  Are you carrying many passengers or just yourself? What type of driving do you do, for example do you go on road trips a lot?

You're right. I'm quite a confident driver. It should be easy to park, yes. Typically carrying two passengers, but sometimes three. Driving to and from work, and sometimes on longer road trips in the countryside, but not off-road or anything like that.

For this kind of use case, I'd recommend a secondhand Subaru Impreza WRX. It has a larger engine, like most Subaru models, and uses a flat-four engine (which is safer than a flat-six), which provides good gas mileage.

Okay. But why do you suggest a second hand car?
