You only have to look at an example like the AMC Gremlin (better make it a quick look, lest you nuke your retinas) to know that hatchbacks have come a long way. Back in the day, "cheap hatchback" was just a gentle euphemism for "blighted, God-forsaken deathtrap," but my, how things have changed. If you were to round up today's most affordable hatches, you'd find a few bona fide stars that offer more than just soup-kitchen prices.
One such star is the Honda Fit, which holds the distinction of being a budget-priced car that's genuinely fun to drive. Then there's the Scion xB, which shines as a supremely practical choice, thanks to its incredibly roomy interior.
You can check out the rest of this year's most attractively priced offerings in our Top 10 Least Expensive Hatchbacks and Wagons for 2009. Of course, the list also includes a few forgettables. (The less said about the Chevy Aveo 5/Pontiac G3 twins, for example, the better.) Get the scoop on each of these cars by researching them via our model reviews.
