Given that the average price of a brand-new car in the US has now touched the $50,000 mark, you’d be forgiven for perhaps scouring the lower end of the market to find a decent new car for much less money. Fortunately, there are plenty of excellent options out there for you to examine, from small sedans like the Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Jetta, to compact SUVs like the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Nissan Kicks.
