Everybody wants a nice car with a lot of features. But many people can't afford it.
For those folks, the editors of Kelley Blue Book, which helps determine prices for new and used cars, have developed a list of 10 very cool models that sell for less than $18,000.
Editorial Director Jack Nerad said there is a variety of exciting, fun vehicles.
The group chose $18,000 as a cutoff because that would usually give buyers an average monthly payment of $300 to $350 over a 5-year loan.
Fuel economy wasn't part of choosing the cars, but KBB said they all provide good mileage.
The cars were chosen based on price, design, style and performance.
The list:
Toyota Tacoma PreRunner
Scion xB
Ford Focus ZX3 SES
Kia Spectra hatchback
Chevrolet Cobalt LS coupe
Hyundai Tiburon
Mazda 3 S hatchback
Scion tC
Mini Cooper
Honda Element
