Why should I also consider these?
The 2008 Nissan Versa appeals to buyers who are looking for lower fuel bills and car payments, without giving up the comfort and features of a larger car.
But at its best, at 27 mpg city, 33 mpg highway with the CVT automatic, the Versa's fuel economy isn't as good as other vehicles in its price and size range.
For instance, the Yaris rates up to 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, but like most of these vehicles, the Yaris doesn't feel as roomy inside or have as smooth a ride.
The other best-riding alternative is the Chevrolet Aveo, but the Aveo has especially unimpressive fuel economy and safety.
Kia's Rio and Rio5 hatchback feel sportier than the rest of the crowd, as does the xD.
But the best vehicle in this class is the Honda Fit, which admittedly costs a bit more and is only available as a hatchback.
However, it feels sporty, handles well, promises good safety, and has a standout, minivan-like Magic Seat arrangement that allows an especially low, flat cargo floor.
