Volkswagen
This brand manufactures some the best compact cars in the market. For example, theVolkswagen GTI is a well-rounded car and scores well on handling, design, comfort, and space. The car is enjoyable to drive and has an interactive infotainment system. The interiors are plush and there’s massive cargo room as well. The turbocharged engine gives a lot of power; thus, the car is suitable for city as well as highway driving. With all these features, the car is definitely priced a little higher than the other cars in the segment.

Ford has recently become one of the most popular compact car brands. And the Ford Focus desderves credit for this. It has sporty handling and a seamless driving experience, making it a joy to drive in the city. There are numerous tech features thrown in that will definitely impress the driver as well as the passengers. There’s dual-zone automatic climate control, SYNC 3 infotainment system with an exciting 8-inch display, 10-speaker Sony stereo system, power moonroof, and integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Hyundai
Hyundai is another brand to look out for. With a user-friendly infotainment system and a comfortable ride, the Hyundai Veloster is one of the most popular compact car by this brand. Even though some competitors offer better performance and richer-looking interiors, the Veloster still has great reason to be in your garage. There’s generous room in the cargo and the car is supported by the latest in technology. The front seats are well bolstered and give the impression of an expensive car. The fuel efficiency, however, is not what you’d expect from a compact car, since you would drive it mostly within the city.

This is a great car for students and people who have just started out in their careers, small families, and retirees. The car is affordable and still makes a lot of sense for daily usage.
