2015 MICRA Ranked #1

Buying your first car can be intimidating and costly, especially when you're juggling student loans and rising living expenses. If you're a young buyer on a tight budget we have the solution.

Why bother buying a used car when the cheapest new car on the market costs less than 10 grand? The 2015 Nissan Micra, which starts at $9,998, is a steal for any cash-strapped, starving student counting their pennies. If you're on a budget, stick with the bare bones S base trim with a 5-speed stick. If you want to splurge, a fully-loaded SR model costs $16,748 and adds a 4-speed automatic transmission, front fog lights, and a rear-view monitor.
