While the 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage might not be the best-looking car even among the most affordable models on the market, it is a solid choice for new drivers and those who are looking for a small city commuter. Its base trim is called the ES, and it starts from under $15k after destination.

Hyundai Accent: hyundaiusa.com/accent/index.aspx

The 5th generation Hyundai Accent sedan premiered as a 2018 model, so this year, it carries over without major exterior and interior updates. The car, however, gets an enhanced powertrain: the new 1.6L 4-cylinder is more efficient, but also returns fewer horses, 120 instead of 130.

Nissan Versa: nissanusa.com/vehicles/cars/versa-sedan.html

Though the newly designed 2020 Nissan Versa is no longer the cheapest sedan on the American market, it is still a rather affordable pick, starting below 15k. Its entry-level S trim packs a 7-inch infotainment with Bluetooth and voice recognition, plus plenty of standard safety features.

Toyota Yaris: toyota.com/yaris

The Toyota Yaris is entering the 2020 model year in sedan and hatchback body styles riding on the Mazda 2 underpinning in the US, while the rest of the world is greeting an all new TNGA platform-based Yaris.

Kia Rio: kia.com/us/en/vehicle/rio/2019

The 2020 model year Rio is sold in sedan and 5-door hatchback body styles, the latter isn’t available in the base trim, hence an extra grand for the minimum asking price. This compact is receiving a new 1.6L 4-cylinder engine working in tandem with a CVT.

Honda Fit: automobiles.honda.com/fit

Fiat 500: fiatusa.com/500.html

Though discontinued for the US market, the 2019 Fiat 500 3-door remains a smart choice in small-car segment, especially if you are looking for an affordable daily commuter, but do not want to compromise on fun, comfort and styling. Currently, the model can be configured and ordered via Fiat’s website, though we are not sure if the company has enough inventory to last for the entire year.

Hyundai Venue: hyundaiusa.com/venue/index.aspx

2020 Hyundai Venue occupies the entry-level position in the Hyundai crossover-SUV range, being the smallest and the cheapest option available. Its pricing starts from $17,350 plus destination for the base SE trim, which gets you a rather roomy and comfy cabin with an 8-inch infotainment and plentry of standard driver assist features.

  1. My first new car I bought when I was 18 was $9000. Grant it, this was many years ago, it's still ridiculous what they're asking for a new car these days.

  2. I've just purchased a vehicle for my son, who is driving 60 miles one way back and forth to college. Because of research, and my prior experience of owning a Honda Fit, my son now drives a $26k Honda HR-V. It has met all the needs of cargo space, AWD traction, driver visibility, safety features, and historic reliability and resale value.

  3. The American cars come complete with the factory and cost very cheap, the taxes of this country are very low and there are still people who complain, in Brazil despite the beautiful women, wonderful food and tropical climate the bad side of the country is very sad to comment. taxes are very high on everything you imagine buying whatever product, popular cars cost about four to five times more than any American car and luxury cars are more expensive than a house depending on the place !!! And to make matters worse they come naked from the factory without any comfort a huge list of accessories that make cars even more expensive is absurd what the damn politicians do with this wonderful country

  4. It's so tempting to buy the latest & greatest looking sports/muscle car even though it's not within your budget, and when you have student loan debt to pay off while also having a low end job.

  5. Nah, they all suck. The same brands appear so that tells you something. I know Kia/Hyundai has been doing better, but I don't feel these models is a good choice, but understand why he chose these.
