The 2018 Hyundai Accent is the smallest and least-expensive vehicle from Hyundai, and with nearly 25 years of history and more than 1.2 million models sold, among its longest-serving and most-recognized nameplates.
The 2019 Lexus UX is the first Lexus model built on its Global Architecture Compact, or GA-C, platform. The importance of this lightweight and rigid platform is that it offers several design and engineering elements that deliver agile handling with ride comfort, resulting in pleasing driving attributes.
Price should not be the only thing to be concerned with though. Performance, high fuel economy, a comfortable ride, sharp styling and standard equipment need to play an important part in the purchase consideration. Considering these, the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback stands strong. Then for five-door aficionados, the hatchback is a must see.
All the way around, the 2019 Kia Forte can hold its own against the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla and others in this class.
Built in Georgetown, Kentucky, the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid has EPA class-leading fuel economy for a five-passenger, midsize sedan.
The 2019 HyundaiVeloster R-Spec nudges into the hot hatch category, but at a lower entry price than the high performance Veloster N.
Overall, the 2018 Hyundai Elantra Limited is a very impressive compact sedan that punches above its weight. This value-oriented car is filled with features, plus has styling, handling, fuel economy, an attractive price, and an outstanding warranty, making it Hyundai’s best-selling model in the United States.
The 2018 Toyota Yaris SE Liftback should be on your shopping list if you spend much of your time driving around town or on a daily commute of say, about 50 miles or so.
A roomy interior, long list of standard equipment, excellent fuel economy and an outstanding warranty make the 2018 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited a must-see when shopping for a midsize sedan.
For years, friends who weren’t looking to get a kick out of driving, but just wanted something to go from point A to B economically and reliably, Toyota’s Corolla was one of my top recommendations. Today, after spending a week in the 2018 Toyota Corolla, I still recommend it.
