5 of Our favourite Small Cars Under $30k
You’ve searched the internet, ploughed through the major car selling sites, you’ve even been for a couple of test drives. But you’re still not sure which small car is the right fit for you.
With seemingly endless lists of small cars on the market, we’ve rounded up 5 of our favourite small cars under $30,000 to make your decision a little easier. Don’t forget to check out the full reviews by our friend’s over at Performance drive.com.au.
1. Toyota Corolla – Priced from $27,530*
At the top of our list is the world famous Toyota Corolla – Australia’s number one selling car for the last three years! With the cost of living on the rise and fuel efficiency being at the tipping end of many buyers’ decisions, the Corolla boasts its most fuel efficient engine yet. This sporty looking hatchback uses hybrid technology to help you save on your weekly refill whilst also having a lighter impact on the environment. Sounds like a win-win!
2. Mazda3 – Priced from $23,750*
The Mazda3 is arguably one of Australia’s favourite small cars – and ours too. Why? Because of its sleek and sporty appearance, comfortable drive and 5 star ANCAP safety rating. Plus with a low starting price at $23,750*, the Mazda3 feels like a must-have to us.
3. Hyundai i30 – Priced from $25,990*
The Hyundai i30 is a great small car that packs a lot of punch. If you can live without the premium add-ons and automatic transmission, the i30 SR manual boasts outstanding value for money. Its uber modern interior with super comfortable, ergonomic seats makes it the perfect choice for the weekly commute and mini weekend road trips.
4. Kia Cerato – Priced from $19,990*
Gone are the days when Kia was known as the low quality get-around car. With competitive prices starting from $19,990*, the Kia Cerato comes with a 1.8-litre engine and is by no means behind the pack. Kia worked hard to improve the Cerato’s drive to suit Australian driving conditions and gave it a stylish look to boot. So step aside Corolla, the Cerato is a force to be reckoned with!
5. Subaru Impreza – Priced from $28,990*
It sounds like a sports car, looks like a sports car and makes you feel like you’re driving a sports car! What more’s to love? The Subaru Impreza just makes it into our top 5 small cars under $30,000 and definitely packs a punch. The slightly higher price point may push some buyers out of the market, but if you’re considering upgrading your car, it’s not one to miss! Take it for a test drive and see for yourself.
