In Quebec, we love small-sized cars, including used subcompact cars, and the Estrie region is no exception. That's why the majority of compact car sales in Canada happen here. In the case of some models, we even talk about the best performance in North America.
Here are five models that deserve to be considered if you're in the market for a quality used car. Occasion Beaucage, with its vast inventory, has the perfect gem for you.
1 — Nissan Micra
The Nissan Micra was first introduced in 2015. Priced below $10,000, it sold like hotcakes. Consequently, it's abundant in the used car market. At Group Beaucage, we've even seen some of you purchase two different models over the years. With the Micra, the joy of driving is there, and so are the savings given its price. Furthermore, this car is an example of reliability. It's hard to find a better option when looking for a good model at a low price among used subcompact cars.
2 — Hyundai Accent
The love story between Quebecers and the Hyundai Accent goes back more than 25 years. Over the years, we've witnessed the incredible enthusiasm for this model, both in new and used car markets. With the Accent, you get a super interesting compromise between space, performance, handling, and generous equipment, all at a consistently competitive price in the category of used subcompact cars. A test drive tends to charm.
3 — Toyota Yaris hatchback
The latest Toyota Yaris 5-door had a long career at Toyota, making its debut in 2005 and undergoing very minimal changes until this year. With this model, you don't get the most technologically advanced product. However, it's impossible to find a car as reliable as it is on the used subcompact car market in this category. Plus, this version is practical with its hatchback configuration, not to mention it's overall enjoyable to drive.
4 — Honda Fit
The Honda Fit enjoys boundless popularity in the subcompact car segment. The advantage with the Fit is the Magic Seat configuration found in the rear. It's possible to fold the seats forward and practically make them disappear. The result is that you get the cargo space of a small SUV, all for a fraction of the price. And the model is reliable!
5 — Mitsubishi Mirage
The Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the three cars, along with the Nissan Micra and the Chevrolet Spark, that was offered for less than $10,000. With it, the advantage is primarily financial, as one would expect. However, one should not forget the second great quality of Mitsubishi products, which is reliability. In fact, based on the company's track record, the Mirage is likely to be indestructible. Additionally, with its 10-year powertrain warranty, even used models are protected long after purchase.
