The Toyota Yaris carries the same strength of other popular Toyota models as it is refined, extremely durable, and is capable of lasting hundreds of thousands of miles. The Yaris remains to be a safe and solid choice for a subcompact car and is a bargain at $14,115.

3. Chevrolet Sonic Sedan

First time car buyers are the primary target but the Sonic will also appeal to those who want an affordable subcompact that is comfortable, sporty, and practical at the same time. The Chevrolet Sonic sedan starts at $13,735.

4. Kia Rio Sedan

While the all new 2012 Kia Rio 5-door is a tad more expensive then the Kia Rio sedan, both cars remain to be the cheapest that money can buy. The Kia Rio sedan has a base price of $12,295 while the Rio 5-door starts at $13,600.
