7. Ford Fiesta Hatchback

If you are looking for a compact car to take you from point A to point B economically, then the Ford Fiesta is a great choice. For less than $15,000 you can get this smooth handling vehicle with a 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that delivers up to 27 mpg in the city and 38 highway miles per gallon. The Fiesta is practical and comfortable, but it’s also handsomely styled and relatively well-equipped. Add the fuel economy package with its subtle aerodynamic tweaks and low-rolling-resistance tires, and this fun to drive compacts gets even better gas mileage.
