Define inexpensive. What is the maximum you want to pay? Hyundai Accent starts a little over $15,000 MSRP. Toyota Yaris starts at $15,500. The Kio Rio starts a little under $15,000. Those are the least expensive cars from typically reliable car companies. Also, tell us what you actually want In your next car. That will help us narrow it down. ---

> [@D.J](#): > > What are some inexpensive brand new cars or small crossovers that are reliable and have automatic transmissions (preferably non CVT or reliable CVTs)? I am not going to every manufacture web site and research vehicles for you . That is something you can do yourself . And new vehicles usually don’t have problems and if they do there is something called a Warranty. ---

I meant this as kind of a poll. I’ve already done the research. I wanted to see if anyone had any opinions from real world experience. I make my living doing research and have spent many hours on Google exploring the cars, so yes I know how to use it thanks. I also read the annual Consumer Reports new car guide. Price range $14,000 to $21,000-ish thanks. I can’t drive stick shift though. ---

The percentage of people actually buying any recommended vehicle here is really low . Many times they buy something that was not even mentioned if they do report what they bought. Example: one couple asked what buy and received about 15 different vehicle names. They ended up with the fully battery driven BMW which no one suggested. ---

Not yet. I’m still getting quotes from people about putting the Rhino stuff on, but there’s a guy that offered to put wrap on it too. I might go with the Rhino for durability even if it hurts resale value. ---

And not all new car warranties are the same, some are longer, some shorter. Some cover different things etc. Plus, i have a feeling not all manufacturers and/or dealers honor their warranties to the same degree. ---

Toyota yaris, aka Mazda 2. I’m not a fan of CVTs and Mazda still has a 6 speed at If it is my money, I’d go with a Subaru impresza with a manual and a Torsen center differential right in the middle of the car [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/cheap-new-cars-or-crossovers/165597.md?page=2)
