If you’re looking for a miniscule car that sips fuel and is easy to fit into tight spaces but want some cargo room, chances are you’re looking at the 2012 Chevy Sonic and 2012 Toyota Yaris hatch backs. The 2012 Chevy Sonic is all new for this year, replacing the Aveo starting with the 2012 model year. The Yaris is a little bit older, but has a proven track record. The 2012 Chevy Sonic starts at $14,635 while the Yaris is just $200 more expensive at $14,840.
