If you’re looking at the Kia Rio, the Hyundai Accent should be on your shopping list as well.
Beneath their sheet metal, these two are essentially the same car—so pick the price and styling you prefer.
The Chevy Sonic’s optional turbo engine is potent, but its price can climb quickly.
The Honda Fit is the most versatile small car around, and its hefty price reflects it.
The Toyota Yaris tells two tales: The hatchback is dour, while the Mazda-designed sedan is a Miata with four doors.
If the price is your sole consideration, the Nissan Versa is probably on your list—we’d spend a few bucks more for most rivals.
