Three red-hot small cars worth considering.
Volkswagen Golf
Price: $17,995 - $23,885
Mileage: 23 City / 33 Hwy
The Golf still offers that German car driving feel and interior quality that VW's are famous for. Even the base version is fun to drive.
While the Golf is great, critics complain that the new Jetta misses the mark. They say Volkswagen is stripping out all that makes VW's great in pursuit of lower prices. Luckily that philosophy hasn't hit the Golf, yet. (By the way... The new Jetta's selling well so, for better or worse, the low-price strategy's working.Ford Focus
2011 Ford Focus
Price: $16,270 - $22,765
Mileage: 28 City / 38 Hwy
Just hitting the market now, Ford's new Focus is a huge change from the outgoing version.
The Focus has long been just an OK car, but the new Focus feels all wound up and ready to rock.
The suspension is firmer, the steering is tighter, the engine's stronger and transmission is quicker.Its technology package, is amped up, too. This new Focus has so much tech that there are literally buttons on its buttons. In fact, some may say Ford's gone a little overboard this time.
Chevrolet Cruze
Price: $16,525 - $22,225
Mileage: 26 City / 36 Hwy
With the Cruze, GM is clearly targeting those who want a mid-size car but don't want to pay for it. Both inside and out, the Cruze feels bigger than it is.
On the road, it feels laid back and comfortable, not quick and twitchy. The Cruze does offer good performance and cornering, though they're just not the car's highlights.
