Chevrolet Spark Hatchback
Coming in at a low $14,095, Chevrolet’s Spark Hatchback costs half as much as the average vehicle. So, what is this car’s secret? Well, it comes with a simple 1.4-liter inline-4 motor only capable of 98 horsepower. Combined with a five-speed manual transmission, what’s under the hood helps bring the price down.
In fact, the tiny engine and simple transmission allow for a few modern conveniences at this price point. You get USB ports, OnStar connectivity, and simple on-wheel controls. If you’re interested in fuel economy, then that tiny engine is also capable of pushing 38mpg highway.
Nissan Versa
Boasting a modest 1.6-liter I4 engine capable of 122 horsepower, the Nissan Versa offers acceptable power at an even more acceptable price. Personal injury attorneys recommend this car because the Versa comes with automatic emergency braking, a lane-departure warning system, and a 7-inch touchscreen featuring three USB ports.
EPA rated at 27mpg city and 35 mpg highway; your gas mileage is a decent as well. The Versa comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission for $15,625. However, you can upgrade to the CVT for a little extra cash and even better mileage.
