Subcompact cars are dropping like flies.
Those that have stuck around have plenty of merits, however.
The Kia Rio is a pleasant runabout with a spacious interior.
Don’t like its styling? The Hyundai Accent delivers the same goods, more or less, in a package some drivers might find more attractive.
The Chevy Sonic vanishes after 2019, but it is a good choice that should be subject to big discounts.
The Nissan Versa is primed for a redesign, and it’d take a hefty discount for us to consider a leftover 2019.
The redesigned Toyota Corolla might not cost much more than the Yaris once you’ve negotiated a deal, so it’s worth a look.
