| Hyundai Accent |
Price: $9,900 |
| Engine: 1.6l 4 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: 31 mpg |
The least expensive car in the U.S. is very basic
- there's no air conditioning, power windows, or anti-lock brakes
and the car quickly gets more expensive if you want these added
on. Good warranty and interior trim. Lackluster engine. |

| Nissan Versa |
Price: $9,900 |
| Engine: 1.6l 4 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: 29 mpg |
The Nissan Versa is the least expensive sedan you can buy but is also surprisingly good. Its cabin is very spacious with plenty of room for both passengers and cargo. Also enjoyable to drive. |
|
| Kia Rio |
Price: $11,600 |
| Engine: 1.6l 4 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: 31 mpg |
Good fuel economy, but a cramped cabin especially for rear passengers. Despite the low price its not great value for money since power windows, central locking and other basics cost extra. |

| smart fortwo |
Price: $11,900 |
| Engine: 1.0l 3 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: 36 mpg |
One of the best cars for fuel consumption you can buy, however it requires more expensive premium gas. Only a 2 seater hatchback and is so small that safety is a concern. Very short warranty. |
|
| Chevrolet Aveo |
Price: $11,900 |
| Engine: 1.6l 4 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: 30 mpg |
Nervous road handling and sluggish acceleration compared to others. Cabin looks cheap and has little legroom for passengers. No side airbags even as an option. There are better cars than this. |
|
| Chevrolet Spark |
Price: $12,000 |
| Engine: 1.2l 4 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: - |
A good looking American made inexpensive small city car to compete with Smart, Toyota, Mazda and Scion. Its cabin is relatively roomy and comfortably fits 4 adults. |
|
| Toyota Yaris |
Price: $12,600 |
| Engine: 1.5l 4 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: 32 mpg |
The Toyota Yaris is one of the best least expensive cars you can buy. It has excellent safety for its class, good fuel mileage, cute looks and is fun to drive. |
|
| Ford Fiesta |
Price: $13,300 |
| Engine: 1.6l 4 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: 32 mpg |
Quite possibly the best inexpensive car. Fuel efficient, beautiful to look at, stylish interior, high build quality, safe and fun to drive. What more could you want from one of the least expensive cars? |
|
| Suzuki SX4 |
Price: $13,300 |
| Engine: 2.0l 4 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: 26 mpg |
Suzuki's least expensive sedan is a blast to drive with nimble and responsive handling and good acceleration from the eager 2.0 liter engine. Long list of standard features too. |
|
| Kia Forte |
Price: $13,600 |
| Engine: 2.0l 4 cyl gasoline |
Fuel economy: 28 mpg |
Better value for money than the price tag suggests because SIRIUS satellite radio, USB ports, iPod connectivity and Bluetooth are all standard features. Awarded Top Safety Pick in 2010. |
