The days of the $10,000 new car are long gone. However, when you take into account the added safety and convenience features of today’s cars, they might just be better value than ever before.

Diminutive. Tiny. Efficient. Whatever you call them, these are the smallest new cars you can buy.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it safer, easier, and more convenient to access your smartphone while driving. And the best part is that both are available in really affordable cars.

“If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation.”

A new face, an 8.0-inch infotainment screen, and disc brakes on all corners are the highlights of the update. 

Are you a young driver in need of a new car or the parent of one that will be making the monthly payments? 

Inexpensive usually equates to underwhelming. After all, you can’t expect filet mignon for the price of a fast food burger.

In the past few years, sedan sales have taken a serious nosedive, and it’s all thanks to the wider availability of crossovers.

Nissan unveiled a compact crossover concept at the 2014 São Paulo International Motor Show.
