The Reno is a fun and inexpensive compact car with sporty styling and a long list of standard features. Although the Reno does not have the hardware to truly compete with the Mazda Mazda3 or Volkswagen GTI, it remains an attractive compact with great aftermarket potential, an important attribute for entry-level buyers who might like to customize their cars. Priced well under $15,000, the Reno faces some tough competition from Honda's Fit and Nissan's Versa, two new compacts also within easy reach of most first-time buyers. While the Reno does not offer the same high resale value as the Fit or the Versa, it does include more standard features and a seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty at no extra charge.
