Are small cars generally cheaper than mid-sized cars?

Yes, small cars are cheaper than mid-sized cars for a variety of factors. One of those factors is probably because small cars aren't as safe as mid-sized cars. They are typically not as comfortable, and usually don't have the better design. However, cheap cars are good for fuel-efficiency.

 If you want to purchase a small, cheap, fuel-efficient car, here are some recommendations:

• Chevrolet Aveo
 
• Suzuki Aerio

• Hyundai Accent

• Kia Rio

• Toyota Yaris

• Honda Fit

• Nissan Versa

• Toyota Corolla

• Honda Civic

There has been a lot of commotion going on about purchasing newer, smaller, cheaper cars than those that might have been used, and larger. For some consumers, it would be a better investment to purchase a used car instead of a new cheap one. However, just bear in mind the fact that small cars are times expensive. Here are some examples:

• BMW M-series Roadster

• BMW Z-4 series

• Audi S4

• MINI Cooper

Keep in mind that auto insurance might not be cheap for small cars because of the fact that they might be less safe. As a matter of fact, many auto insurance companies shrug when they see small cars and accidents. If you want to purchase a safe, family car, a small cheap car is probably not the option to go with.
