13 Inexpensive Small Vehicles
November 5, 2015
They say good things come in small packages and that certainly seems to be the case with today's smaller-sized vehicles. Many consumers are turning to smaller cars thanks to not only their lower price tags, but also better fuel economy and ease of getting around crowded urban areas.
US News & World Report's Best Cars Blog recently released their list of the 13 small and mid-sized vehicles that not only offer these types of benefits, but are also fun to drive. Cars on the list include the Mazda Mazda3, Subaru WRX, Ford Fiesta, and Volkswagen GTI. Below is the full list.
And if you're thinking of purchasing one of these smaller-sized vehicles, make sure to use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect for the lowest price possible.
