5. VW Nuevo Gol
Base Price: 191,093 pesos ($9950 USD)
Built in Brazil, the Gol features the same platform as the VW Polo but is a couple of inches shorter. The engine varies across South America; in Mexico it is a 1.6 liter, four cylinder model. The Gol could be ideal if you have a family, especially if you need to secure a car seat in the back. It offers extremely safe ISOFIX anchorages for that purpose. ABS braking and a seat belt alarm add to the safety features.
All kinds of other comfort features are built in as well, including a third headrest in the back, electric windows, and a rear parking signal. You will also enjoy the App Connect system that allows you to connect your cellphone and control it via buttons on the steering wheel.
