Top Five Affordable Small Cars
Honda Civic

Its smooth ride and interior space are favorites with reviewers, who appreciate the availability of uplevel options such as leather seats and a navigation system. However, some are put off by the outlandish two-level dashboard with digital speedometer.
Honda Fit

Its fun-to-drive handling, nice appointments and flexible folding rear seat are highlights. Even better, Car & Driver named the 109-horsepower, 38 MPG fuel-sipper as part of its “10Best” list. An all-new 2009 model (scheduled release in the Fall) will gain electronic stability control, a feature not previously available.
Honda Civic Hybrid

The Civic hybrid earns praise for going about its business with the regular Civic’s grown-up car manners and appearance. While the powertrain’s driving experience is similar to that of a conventional car, reviewers say that it is most similar to the driving experience of a slow car.
Mazda Mazda3

Testers like the Mazda’s adventurous styling, but are less impressed that side airbags don’t come with every level of equipment, and electronic stability control isn’t available at all.
Scion xB

Love or hate its distinctive exterior, the Scion xB combines plenty of space and a low price tag. When you add in its peppy, fuel efficient performance and the fact that it is highly customizable, you get a hot hatch that most reviewers recommend.Bottom Three Affordable Small Cars
Chevrolet Aveo
Well, the Aveo is cheap, but, well, it’s cheap. The underpowered engine has to work hard and delivers gas mileage that is disappointing for such a small, slow car. The seats are literally a pain in the rear, and the steering earned criticism. Finally the Aveo has few safety features as standard equipment and side curtain airbags aren’t available for any trim level.
Suzuki RenoSuzuki’s European styling gives the Reno a clean appearance, and the interior has good room for the car’s tiny size. But its 2.0-liter engine is noisy and slurps down fuel, delivering an embarrassing-for-its-size 28 MPG in highway driving and a ghastly 19 MPG in city driving.
Suzuki ForenzaWith the Forenza, Suzuki promises a compact car at a subcompact price. Trouble is, while the Forenza is bigger in size than some other affordable small cars, its appeal is considerably smaller — at least according to reviewers. Most complaints center on the Forenza’s lack of power, poor handling and bad scores on some safety tests.
