Frugal and roomy for the price, with a turbo engine that needs its cooling system watched.
Check before you buy
The 1.4 turbo is prone to coolant leaks and PCV failures; check for oil consumption and a documented water-pump history.

- Hyundai Accent: Cheap, frugal and honest. Basic inside, and slow enough to plan your merges.
- Nissan Versa: About the cheapest new car sold, with the performance that implies.
- Kia Forte: A big boot, a long warranty and standard driver aids. Nothing about it is exciting.
- Ford Fusion: Drives better than most midsize saloons and was discontinued anyway. Cheap now.
