[quote=Anonymous]I have also been cross-shopping subcompact crossovers but my max budget is slightly higher than yours.

The Mazda CX-30 Turbo Premium Plus would be my top choice in your price range although it is at the very top of your budget and will probably go a little over once you add every option (and will definitely go over once you add taxes and fees). The non-turbo and lower trims are also solid options, but you will have to compromise on something (HP and/or options).

I also test drove the VW Taos and liked it due to its interior space, but it has a lot less HP than the CX-30 Turbo or Kona N, and its safety ratings gave me some concerns. Of your list, I would rank it at the bottom (and C&D, R&T, and CR would, too), but it could still be worth a look.

I did not test drive the Hyundai Kona N or the new Kia Seltos but they are solid options for your criteria and budget.

Some additional options to consider:
- Volvo XC40 (probably pre-owned if you want it nicely equipped within your budget or you could search out a new Core trim far from the DC area)
- Mazda3 hatchback (but its seats are not as comfortable as the CX-30’s)
- VW Golf GTI
- Kia Soul
