| Posted: 22 Jun 2013 06:41 PM PDT  The Nissan Versa is either a subcompact four-door sedan or slightly larger "Note" compact five-door hatchback.

| Posted: 22 Jun 2013 06:20 PM PDT  The Audi A3 is a compact luxury hatchback that's been around since 2006. It was the first of its kind on the market, but it has since been joined by the Volvo C30 and Lexus CT200h. It's one of very few Audis to share a chassis with VW–in this case with the Golf–meaning the current A3 is running on a platform that debuted in 2003. For... |

| Posted: 22 Jun 2013 06:09 PM PDT  The Kia Rio is a subcompact five-door hatchback or four-door sedan. A redesign in 2012 took the Rio to new levels of style, features and refinement, despite being the brand's least expensive model. It's now a legitimate contender in it's class–a far cry from its roots as a low-budget basic means of transportation. The Rio competes at the... |

| Posted: 22 Jun 2013 06:00 PM PDT  The Honda Insight is built with its sights set squarely on the legendary Toyota Prius.

| Posted: 22 Jun 2013 05:57 PM PDT  The Honda Crosstour is a crossover is mid-size crossover that feels closer to a wagon than an SUV.
