Based on looks alone, which compact econo car do you prefer?

[Jugernot]

I don't want to hear about about much much more reliable your choice is or how much better gas mileage it gets, I'm interested in what most people (ATOT=most people? probably not) think is a "good looking car!" I'm thinking cars like Yaris, Corolla, Aveo, Sentra, Focus, Mazda 3, etc.

Also provide a link to the website for the particular car and a base cost.

My vote goes to the Toyota Yaris sedan.... the hatchback is kinda weird looking though. At less than $14k for the S models, you get a relatively good looking car, though without some creature comforts.

btw, I'll go ahead and limit this to cars that start at or below $15k USD, because I know one of your guys is going to say Mustang/Charger or some dumb shit.

I like the Mazda 3.

I may get shot for this but recently I rented a car and it happened to be a PT Cruiser... For some odd reason I really enjoyed driving it.

I prefered the Scion xA so much I bought one They stopped making them this year though, so you have to go with the slightly more expensive and higher horsepower xD. Still a bargain for $17K @ 35 mpg.

no poll and no links to all cars listed so no input.

Mazda 3 5-door.

But I wouldn't actually buy one.

 

[vi edit]

I'm partial to the Pontiac Vibe.

With current incentives it's in your price range.

I don't think you can get into a new one at his price range.

every other car the op has listed is pretty much a chick car

I own a Yaris Sedan. Good looking car, roomy interrior, fold down seats. Outside looks alone, people ask me when I got my new Camry... Even one of the local Toyota dealer girls.

EDIT: Note: There are no Mazda or Nissan dealers within 120 miles, had to go with a Toy.

I like the look of the Suzuki SX4

I like the Mazda 3. But 15k won't really buy one. It's a higher class than most of the cars you mentioned.

 

[Pocatello]

Subaru Impreza, looks alright, AWD helps a lot around here in the winter. The downside is the mileage is bad compare with other compact cars.

 

[IGBT]

..any of the Nissan small cars. More bang for the buck and better build quality then the rest.

 

[LtPage1]

The Honda Fit, especially the Sport trim (for the alloy wheels, if nothing else).
I liked it so much, I bought one.

 

[ProfJohn]

I like my Focus much more than I thought I would.
Fully loaded at 18K or something close.

Am still looking for something more exciting in another year, but the Focus does what it is suppose to do.

 

[alimoalem]

mazda 3 and sentra.

Mazda3. Own one, love driving it. Love looking at it. The 5 door is so beautiful. It has such beautiful curves.
