2025 Nissan Versa

America’s cheapest car at $18,330—but only if you can drive stick! Want an automatic? That’s an extra $1,800. Still a bargain… or a trap?

2025 Hyundai Venue

For $21,550, this is the cheapest SUV around. It’s tiny, but its 5-Year Cost to Own award means it might just outlast your patience!

2025 Chevrolet Trax

At $21,795, this one’s a steal with fresh styling and standard safety tech. The catch? It’s front-wheel drive only—off-road dreams denied!

2025 Kia Soul

Still refuses to be normal! Quirky looks, massive cargo space, and a cheap price at $21,885. Too weird? Maybe. Too practical? Never.

2025 Nissan Sentra

For $22,730, you get luxury-level seats and 40 MPG—but why spend $4K more than the cheapest option? That’s an expensive cupholder!

2025 Kia K4

Enters the game at $23,165 with sleek looks and dual 12.3-inch screens on top trims. Feels like a luxury car… until you check your bank balance!

2025 Hyundai Elantra

Comes in at $23,220 with wireless tech and tons of safety gear. But let’s be real—will anyone under 40 actually buy this?

2025 Nissan Kicks

For $23,220, it serves youthful energy and wild styling. Want hands-free driving? ProPilot Assist upgrade is tempting… if you trust robots.

2025 Volkswagen Jetta

$23,220 for this? An 8-inch digital display and safety tech that usually costs way more. But is its reliability still sketchy?

2025 Toyota Corolla

The safe bet, the reliable legend at $23,460. Boring? Sure. But if apocalypse survival is your goal, this might be the last car standing!
