Small Cars For Sale Right For Your Budget

Not too long ago, small cars were incredibly popular. Nowadays, affordable hatchbacks and other traditional smaller vehicles are fighting an uphill struggle against the ongoing sales onslaught from all things SUV, especially compact SUVs.

However, MPG and economy often wins, and nothing else is as economical to buy and run as a small car. With fuel prices still stubbornly high, there is a big market for small cars not trying to look like a shrunken Range Rover.

They are all great cars for new drivers and city slickers alike, but their compactness is only a tiny part of their awesomeness. New small cars will generally be safer than older smaller cars. Over time, cars tend to become safer as more safety tech is developed. Also, in Europe the crash testing procedure, conducted by crash test safety organisation Euro NCAP, has become more rigorous. So, a small car with a five star 2020 star rating will have more safety features than a small car with the same star rating but tested in 2016, for example.

Crossovers and SUVs might be the “go-to” vehicles for a lot of buyers today, but there is still a place and a strong argument for small cars. Especially for buyers who spend most of their time driving in towns or cities.

Whether you want something inexpensive to buy and run, or the compact proportions of a car with features and kudos of a large luxury saloon, you will find it all in modern small cars.

Ten examples of great small cars are:

Ford Fiesta.

Vauxhall Corsa.

Renault Clio.

Nissan Leaf.
