The best small car: the new Opel Corsa wins the Auture Prize

The Mitsubishi Mirage closes the walking of this ranking. Its main forces are the price of the most bare versions, advantageous financing rates and a long guarantee of 10 years/160,000 km for the powertrain. A guarantee that has also been used for several owners who have been forced to replace 3 -cylinder engines, the oil capacity of which is limited.

The best subcompact cars in 2023

For the fourth consecutive year, the Kia Rio is the beautiful at the top of our ranking. Despite the past years, the Korean car remains the most interesting for people wishing a small car.

Practical thanks to its tailgate and rather spacious considering its reduced size, the Rio adopts a safe, efficient and even pleasant driving, a rare thing in this segment. The retained motorization achieves adequate performance and consumption remains measured.

2. Nissan Versa

After first eliminating it, Nissan finally brought his Versa back to the catalog. A car that provides a good overall return, but is only available in a sedan version. Like the Rio, the Versa offers a satisfactory interior space, correct performance. On the other hand, his conduct is more sanitized.

The biggest defect in the Versa is its sale price and its too high financing rates. By getting closer to those of the Compact Sentra, more efficient and more athletic, the Nissan subcompact loses its interest in this reason.

3. Mitsubishi Mirage

The Mitsubishi Mirage closes the walking of this ranking. Its main forces are the price of the most bare versions, advantageous financing rates and a long guarantee of 10 years/160,000 km for the powertrain. A guarantee that has also been used for several owners who have been forced to replace 3 -cylinder engines, the oil capacity of which is limited.

On the road, the mirage is not bad, but its services are lower than its two competitors. In reality, mirage owes its presence on the podium only when the Chevrolet Spark’s disappearance, which was a more wise purchase.
