(You'll be Thankful you did! rev Nag DRIVE A BARGAIN — The Nissan Versa has been dubbed the cheapest car in America" by U.S. News and World Report./ Creators.com photo courtesy of Nissan Economy From page 9 survey taken by AutoPacific. While many economy cars offer little in the way of high-tech gadgetry, Nerad cited the Kia Soul as offering some fun extras generally found only in more expensive vehicles. Under $13,500, "the KIA Soul is a pretty cool car," he said. The exterior appearance of this "box" car belies a popular high-tech entertainment system within. Here you'll find an iPod compatible USB that allows you to play favorite music with on-voice command, which is standard on the base model. Bluetooth hands-free phone capability and steering wheel audio controls also come standard in the Soul Plus, which still comes in under $15,000. The diminutive Smart Car also received a mention from Nerad. Built by Mercedes-Benz, the golf cart-sized automobile is noteworthy for its ease of slipping into unbelievably small spaces and for getting 33 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. The Smart Fortwo Pure listed price is less than $12,000, with keyless entry and a rear window defroster as part of the package. You'll also get a glass roof, sport steering wheel, CD player and power heated side mirrors when you buy the Smart Fortwo Passion, listed at just under $14,000. While "rakish," "well appointed" and "loaded with high-tech gadgets" may not be the best descriptors for most of the autos in the economy class, many a buyer is content, and maybe a bit smug, with his or her smaller, less opulent choice in this recession-squeezed period. Driving a new car you can afford while getting up to 41 miles per gallon can be extraordinarily satisfying.
