What does a new Pursuit cost? The starting price is $15,925, which is quite
competitive when compared to the top-selling Honda Civic at $16,200, second place Corolla at $15,490 and popular Mazda3 at $16,295. Dynamically it's more exciting to drive than a Civic, more refined than a Corolla and offers more diversity with regards to features and trim variety than the Mazda3. While I wouldn't go so far to say it's the best in the compact class, it now can hold its own without the caveat, "Pretty good for a domestic." Now Pontiac sells a "no excuses small car", something the brand hasn't been able to boast about for decades. Too bad the American division can't say the same.
