4. Smart ForTwo

Cost: $13,270

Gas Mileage: 36 MPG combined

The Smart ForTwo automobile is based on the popular European Smart car with American safety features incorporated in the car’s design. It is one of the most cost effective automobiles on the market that is suitable for student use, and seats two adults somewhat comfortably. Taller students should take a test ride in the vehicle before making the decision to purchase the automobile; however, the auto has made a name for itself in having a low overall cost to maintain and drive. New Smart ForTwo autos come with a two year or 24,000 mile limited warranty to help protect the buyer. The vehicle is also a popular option for students attending school in a metro or city setting that need to squeeze into smaller parking spots around the city.
