hatchback than the Nissan-Cube

The asymmetrical balance and box styling of the Cube makes this car unique and stand out from the crowd. Of course there will be comparisons to the Scion xB due to their inevitable squared off likeness. But Nissan trumps the comparison in personalized programs that offer over forty accessories to customize the car to the buyers liking. Some accessories include interior mood lighting with twenty options of color, shag carpet interior inserts, body kits and an option for larger wheels.

For a more conventional hatchback than the Cube, there are several good alternatives. The Honda Fit may cost $1,000 more than the Cube, but it offers one of the most versatile cabins of any vehicle in the class, has a phenomenal fuel economy rating of 28/35 mpg and is considered legitimately fun to drive. The Kia Soul is one of the Cube’s direct competitors in the “box-car” segment. It offers styling that is less polarizing than the Cube’s, a roomier rear seat and a starting price that is around $700 less than the Cube. Finally, the Toyota Yaris is a fairly bare-bones vehicle in comparison to the Cube, but it offers a fantastic 29/35 mpg fuel economy rating and a starting price of about $1,500 less than the Cube

Fiesta SW

The 306 Phase 1 came to the market in March of 1993 as a 3 and 5 door hatchback with three different models being offered. The five door was more of a station wagon and was dubbed the "sw" for station wagon. Although not nearly as stylish as the 205, the 306 offered many practical uses in the vehicle. The sw estate model was not a hatchback station wagon, but a sedan with luxurious European styling to accompany the Peugeot racing spirit.

The Peugeot 206 was created in the early 1990's with the replacement of the preceding 205 model. Peugeot changed their model under the idea that super mini cars were no longer profitable, therefore a change was in order. The Peugeot 206 did not immediately follow the 205 as the Peugeot 106, 306 and 309 models to capture different levels of sales from prospective customers. The Peugeot 106 was rivaling the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo with the 306 and 309 models taking the mid and top end sales from the discontinuation of the 205. Because of this, many Peugeot enthusiasts believe the 206 should have been named the 207. The 206, although created early was not released until 1998.

the Volkswagen Beetle’s small size

Chilton auto repair manual for the New Beetle. It is now a front-wheel-drive vehicle because its engine is now located in front. There is also a convertible version available for the sporty types. In addition, it now has alloy wheels, air-conditioning, heated front seats, telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, and a CD/MP3 system accompanied by a satellite radio. If you want a higher ground clearance, there are also versions with bigger wheels and a spoiler on the rear. The engine of the New Beetle is also more powerful. It is a 2.5-liter five cylinder engine that can produce a maximum of 170 horsepower. The new beetle costs $18,690. The price could go higher up to $25,000 depending on the additional accessories or more expensive parts that you would add.

Since its re-birth in 1998, the VW New Beetle has stood out for its yesteryear styling and fun driving experience. Unfortunately its high points end there. "A cute alternative to more traditional compacts,” concludes Edmunds. “But unless you're wedded to the Beetle's retro chic, you'll probably want to look elsewhere for a small coupe or convertible." Indeed, the VW’s high prices and poor fuel economy make it a poor value for most buyers.

The 2012 Volkswagen New Beetle ranks 30

If you like standing out from the crowd and have a soft spot for retro styling, you'll appreciate the fun driving dynamics and playful appearance of the Volkswagen New Beetle. However, this VW is relatively expensive for a small car. Limited cargo space and mediocre fuel economy are also drawbacks.

Meanwhile, Suzuki's latest generation of its Jimny compact car boasts of several interesting features. The key feature of the Jimny is being highly user friendly. It's built both for mild and rough road. Its power steering is very convenient for tight manoeuvres. It also has strong brakes on all 4 wheels and the disc brakes have a large diameter. Suzuki Company also installed an LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve) on the Jimny to prevent the rear wheels to lock prematurely during sudden braking. This serves as a good safety precaution if the vehicle is fully loaded. However, there are not much interesting features in the interior of the Jimny. It is very ordinary in the inside just like other compact cars. The shape of the Jimny's face also creates a lot of air-drag during high speeds. It is not an aerodynamics type of vehicle unlike the New Beetle from VW. The Jimny costs around $17,000.

Smart ForTwo Automatic Manual Transmission

Some of the solutions Daimler has taken has involved rolling out new color schemes and options. Those changes only go so far as the car hasn't been updated in years (it has been on sale in Europe since the 1990s) and consumers are always looking for what is new.

Automatic Manual Transmission:The automatic transmission -- trademarked as "smartshift" -- is actually a manual transmission with a computer that tells the car when to shift through its five gears. Unfortunately, the computer program seems to be a replica of how a bad manual-transmission driver would shift a transmission. While most American drivers would be disappointed by the jerkiness of the shifts, these are perfect for keeping the elderly awake and attentive to their driving.
Two Seats:Youth like to go on road trips with lots of friends. The elderly tend to stay home and be pickier about their friends, so two seats are all they really need.

the cute Smart Fortwo but let's face it

That mileage edge is being challenged by the Ford Fiesta with one model of this subcompact achieving 40 mpg on the highway. Even the Chevrolet Cruze, a larger compact model, is also expected to hit 40 mpg when it is released in Fall 2010.

Gas Tank: Given that the smart fortwo requires premium gasoline, its 8.7-gallon fuel-tank capacity will not shock penny-pinching elderly individuals at each fill-up. Plus, the 1.3-gallon reserve portion of those 8.7 gallons gives them plenty of time to forget and remember that their smart fortwo is running on empty.
Acceleration: The smart fortwo takes a long 12.8 seconds to go from 0 to 60 MPH. This gives pedestrians and others several precious seconds to get out of the way of an oncoming elderly driver.

Many people have speculated that the Fit Hybrid can potentially induce an extreme competition between Toyota and Honda to offer the lowest prices on hybrids. The base cost of a Toyota Prius is around $23,500 and it is going to be a fascinating process to see how this will affect the hybrid market in North America as well as Japan. Many car companies will be forced to lower prices on their hybrids in order to compete with the new Honda Fit Hybrid and this will be excellent for consumers.
