20 Cars Under $20k

Posted January 29, 2009 in Buying and Latest News

The economy may be in tatters and the car industry in meltdown mode, but there has never been a better line-up of affordable new cars on the market. If you're looking to bag a new car under $20,000, you're totally spoilt for choice.

Not only are our ‘20 cars under 20k' cheap - relatively speaking - the appeal of a smaller, more economical engine offers greater fuel economy and is generally much more eco-friendly. Consider it the little car that keeps on giving.

From three doors to five doors, sedans to hatchbacks, German, Italian, American or Korean models - it's your $20k and don't be afraid to use it!

A few practical considerations when buying a new small car:

- in 3 door models, how easily can you access rear seats, particularly for adults

- how versatile is the space, do the seats split fold?

- safety; never skimp on safety features - airbags, 3-point seat belts, ESP etc.
