Overview

Compact cars are small, fuel-efficient passenger vehicles designed for city driving, easy parking, and low operating costs. They typically seat four adults, have modest cargo space, and emphasize economy over power. Popular for daily commuting and short trips, compact cars include hatchbacks, sedans, and subcompacts from many manufacturers. Used compact cars offer value when checked for mileage, maintenance history, and signs of wear.
