Used Compact Cars For Sale By OwnerThe term 'Compact Car' is used to describe smaller passenger vehicles in North America. While some descriptions of compact cars include 'subcompact', 'supermini', 'city car' and 'microcar', here in the Americas we refer to these small family cars as simply 'Compact Cars'. The compact car market has flourished over the years and although smaller cars where widely accepted in Europe and other countries, it wasn‘t until the gas crunch of the 1970‘s that smaller more gas friendly cars caught on in North America. The most popular compact cars sold in the United States by American automakers have been the Ford Focus, Ford Escort, Chevrolet Cavalier, Chrysler & Dodge Neon. While the American car makers have attempted to compete in the small car market, most consumers believe that the best small cars are made by foreign car companies. Some of the most popular foreign small compacts are the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, Toyota Tercel, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C Class, Honda Civic, and the Volkswagen Jetta.
