36. Mazda CX-3 Sport $20,860

We’ll begin with small sized subcompact SUVs. Mazdas’s CX-3 model is a great example to start with. The CX-3 relies on its sport-tuned suspension and creative weight-saving measures to maintain Mazda’s unique brand of driving pleasure.

A 146-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a six-speed automatic with front-wheel drive provide the zoom-zoom; all-wheel drive is optional and it starts at $20.900.
