4 Fuel efficent vehicles

Welcome all to our first comparo Before we get started let me give you guys some background info.

One of my relatives needs to replace his aging 2001 dodge caravan ( Its near the end of its life). So I was asked to find a couple of cars that would fit the descrpition of fuel efficent, reliable, safe, as well as pratical. And so starts this comparo....

There was a huge selection to choose from( Ford Fiesta, Nissan Cube, Nissan Sentra, civic and corrolla{ i didnt choose them } as well as a few othersbut there were limitations...

The car had to
- be between 7-15k
- Reliable
-only japanese cars ( sadly)
-Fuel Effcient
- automatic only

so we narrowed it down too 4 cars
- 2008-2010 Honda Civic DX-G
-2008-2010 Nissan Sentra
-2009-2010 Nissan Cube
- 2008-2010 Toyota Corolla

We then went to work comparing the models. We went first to the Honda dealer ( not giving names) where we were checking the civic out. We then discovered the main diffrences in the models. They are as follows:

DX: base model... no ac no extra stuff just basic

DX-A: same as base but with a/c, hence the "A"

DX-G The best selling/ most pratical model. adds cruise control and keyless entry.
We decided to look for the DX-G.


We then went to a nearby Nissan Dealer. We first laid our eyes on a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with a low price. It was awesome but we had onr problem... it was a manual.. Mind you we did considering bending The rule.
Then the dealer showed us a fully loaded cube which was too much for us.

Nothing much can be said about the corolla except that the dealer was pressuring a test drive.


So Now comes the final descion... what will be the best small car under 15k come back soon to find out.
