Choosing you low price new car

It used to be that if you were going to pay as little as possible for your new car, you would not get a very high quality vehicle. With so many more economically troubled car buyers turning to these cheap new cars for sale in recent years, the competition has gotten much stiffer.

If price is all that matters, you would have to choose the 2012 Nissan Versa. Starting at just under $11000, the Versa costs as much as an average used car, but you get the benefits of a new car.

The 2012 Honda Fit is one of the most versatile cars in this class. The Fit is a spacious and comfortable vehicle, with almost as much interior room as a small crossover SUV.

The 2012 Kia Rio has been completely redesigned, and is head and shoulders better than its outgoing predecessor. One of the big selling points for this car is its very high EPA estimated fuel economy; 30 city / 40 hwy mpg.

There are some very good options in this class, so deciding between them may just come down to your personal taste. Take a couple of test drives first and see if one of these super affordable new cars is right for you.
