A brace of new vehicles over the last couple of years has made the subcompact field especially competitive.
While the price gap between a subcompact and a compact can be narrow, many buyers aim for a smaller, more maneuverable car.
Chevrolet redesigned its already impressive Sonic for 2017 and added a host of safety and convenience features that make it highly competitive.
So too the Toyota Yaris, which will now come standard with a basic automatic emergency braking system that suddenly vaults an also-ran into serious consideration.
The Fit and the Ford Fiesta vie for most fun to drive status in the segment, and the Ford is available as a true hot hatch—the Fiesta ST.
On the value end of things, look to the Kia Rio and Nissan Versa Note, neither of which are as roomy or dynamically capable as the Fit but may make the most financial sense.

The 2017 Chevrolet Sonic gets some safety and feature improvements, and should continue to score big on refinement and driving fun. |
The 2017 Fiesta drops pro handling moves in ST trim, and 3-cylinders excel at sipping fuel--but all Fiestas have very tight interiors. |
The 2017 Toyota Yaris iA adds a good sedan to the lineup this year. So good, in fact, we're not sure why the hatchback is around any longer. |
