Why should I also consider these?

Priced at more than $14,000, the 2009 Pontiac G3 is not a good deal in our judgment.

Just considering resale value now that Pontiac is being phased out, we'd recommend a 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5 hatchback instead.

There are other solid competitors, too, including the Nissan Versa.

The Versa drives and feels most like a larger vehicle, in a positive sense, with a smooth, settled ride on the highway.

Our next recommendation would be the Honda Fit because of its sporty driving character, cavernous interior, Magic Seat arrangement, and best-in-class safety.

The Rio and Accent (mechanically related to each other) don't feel as roomy as the G3, but come across about the same as the Yaris.

The Korean pair is more fun to drive than the Aveo (and, therefore, the G3), but don't expect them to feel as refined—a positive character trait that stood out when we drove the Aveo5.

Nearly all of these vehicles get better fuel economy than the 2009 Pontiac G3—except, of course, the Aveo5 because the cars are the same.

 
2008 Nissan Versa
The 2008 Nissan Versa isn’t particularly sporty, fashionable, or innovative, but it offers an astonishing amount of space, comfort, and features for the money.
 
2008 Honda Fit
The 2008 Honda Fit is one of the smallest cars on the road, but it’s fun to drive, huge inside, and a tremendous value.
 
2008 Kia Rio
The 2008 Kia Rio is a good choice among subcompacts and it’s stylish, but standard anti-lock brakes and better side-impact protection would help its case against the Honda Fit.
 
2008 Hyundai Accent
The 2008 Hyundai Accent delivers econocar basics with a high-quality interior and fun handling for a great price.
 
2008 Toyota Yaris
The 2008 Toyota Yaris is one of the cheapest, and cheapest to run, of all new vehicles.
