Best Cars for Young Couples

After saying your "I dos," you're probably looking forward to make your first large purchase together, such as a home or a car. Since car buying represents a huge investment, new couples should take the selection process seriously. Carmudi compiled this list of five best cars for young couples to help make the selection process easier.

Chevrolet Spark

Tight budgets are common in newly-married couples, so if you're a bit strapped for cash, then the Chevy Spark is an excellent choice. Not too expensive and not too cheap, financially conscious couples will find a lot to love in the Spark as it comes with a surprising amount of standard equipment that seems geared toward the younger, more technology-savvy crowd.

Honda HR-V

The HR-V has its spacious cabin going for it. Larger than it looks, five people can sit comfortably inside, with plenty of cargo space to boot. As can be expected from a Honda, the HR-V comes with a lot of delightful features, from state-of-the-art creature comforts and safety tech.

Ford Focus

The beauty of the Focus lies in its versatility--it can fit almost any driver need. It can even be a suitable car for young lovers who want something affordable yet fun to drive. With a wide array of trim levels, you can get your money's worth with every car along the range.

Mazda 3

The Mazda 3 is a practical compact car that's tuned for a bit of performance. The spry engine, lively suspension, and dynamic fuel economy courtesy of Mazda's very own SKYACTIV technology helps make this car one of your best purchase options, hands down.

Toyota Vios

You can never go wrong with a Toyota, and so it goes with the brand's perennial bestseller. Reliable, economical, and spacious, there's no question that the Vios is a great 'first car' option.

The cars on this list tick all the right boxes that young couples look for: price, safety, and fuel economy. Of course, each car has its own pros and cons, so don't forget to research a car thoroughly to ensure it's exactly what you and your partner are looking for.
