Notes: The Honda Fit might have the best combination of price, functionality, and fuel economy. It’s hard to be in terms of pure value.

8. Chevy Aveo

MSRP: $14,980
Dealer Cost: $15,054
City MPG: 27
Highway MPG: 30
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,589
Powertrain Warranty: 5 years or 100,000 miles
Limited Basic Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles
Notes: Wow, where did this one come from? Fuel economy isn’t the greatest for a 1.5L, but you have to appreciate the price. This is a new entry to the market this year.

5. Hyundai Accent

Base Automatic Transmission model: Hyundai Accent GS 1.6L 3-door hatchback
MSRP: $14,695
Dealer Cost: $12,546
City MPG: 27
Highway MPG: 36
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,533
Powertrain Warranty: 10 years or 100,000 miles
Limited Basic Warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles
Notes: Good warranty and there’s definitely wiggle room on the price with the difference between MSRP and dealer cost.

4. Ford Fiesta

Base Automatic Transmission model: Ford Fiesta S Sedan 1.6L 6-speed
MSRP: $14,390, Hatchback version runs at $16,190
Dealer Cost: $12,936, $15,473 for the hatchback
City MPG: 29
Highway MPG: 40
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,533
Powertrain Warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles
Limited Basic Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles
Notes: Love it. I showered praise in my Ford Fiesta review last year, and it’s lived up to the hype in its first year. Peppy, fun, and very fuel efficient. Downside? The much better looking hatchback jumps up in price significantly over the sedan.

3. Toyota Yaris

Base Automatic Transmission model: Toyota Yaris 3 Door Liftback, 4 Speed Auto
MSRP: $13,755
Dealer Cost: $12,517
City MPG: 29
Highway MPG: 35
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,487
Powertrain Warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles
Limited Basic Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles
Notes: The hatchback is an attractive little guy, but I’m not sure it’s as functional as some of its peers due to its small size.

2. Nissan Versa

Base Automatic Transmission model: Nissan Versa Sedan 1.6L, 4 Door
MSRP: $12,990 ($14,940 for the hatchback)
Dealer Cost: $12,337
City MPG: 25
Highway MPG: 33
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,644
Powertrain Warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles
Limited Basic Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles
Notes: The hatchback might be the sleeper in the whole bunch. It’s very spacious and cheap.

1. Smart ForTwo

Base Automatic Transmission model: Smart ForTwo Pure Coup 1.0L
MSRP: $11,990
Dealer Cost: $11,516
City MPG: 33
Highway MPG: 41
Annual Fuel Cost: $1,380
Powertrain Warranty: 2 years or 24,000 miles
Limited Basic Warranty: 2 years or 24,000 miles
Notes: There should be an asterisk next to this entry. Yes, technically, it’s a highway approved vehicle, but it’s little more than a souped up golf car, in my opinion. Everything about this car says ‘cheap’, and not in a good way. And it has an industry worst 2 year, 24,000 mile warranty to back it. For what you actually get, I’d expect this car to retail for about $8k.
