Lots of such engines available in newer cars in my country, now IIRC only GM still didn't bring one here and relies on an ancient Opel-derived 4-cyl 1.0L engine locally. Well, I must confess I'm quite surprised Volkswagen doesn't offer the Polo there...

Nissan Vespa
I guess you mean Versa, not Vespa. But anyway, this one is also available with a 1.0L 3-pot here.

Maybe another reasonable option could be the Mitsubishi Mirage, which IIRC is the only 3-cyl non-turbocharged car available in the U.S. at the moment.

Personally I prefer turbo cars. They still have great gas mileage, and work really well in colder climates!
Nowadays with direct injection they do save on fuel, plus it has led to easier cold starts even with ethanol...
