Best Subcompact Car: 2013 Mini Cooper
For years, American car buyers had no interest in subcompact cars, and for good reason. The ones we got were horrible. How could anyone be blamed for not wanting to own a Geo Metro? These days, however, subcompact cars are legitimately good, offering more equipment, higher quality and better driving dynamics than you'd ever expect. We would happily own a Chevy Sonic, Ford Fiesta or Honda Fit.

All things being equal, however, the Mini Cooper is the far superior subcompact car. It's better to drive, better made and better to behold. The Mini is a car that is desired regardless of its size, and in some cases because of it. Never mind exceeding expectations: The Cooper proves that driving a small car can be cool and cures the gag reflex we all had to the word "subcompact."

In many ways, the Mini paved the way for better small cars, and even in this current generation's twilight years, it easily remains the best.


Did my best to bomb the comments.

Been awhile since I posted, thought this was worth digging up my password.
