Coolest Cars for Less Than $18k

The expert editors from Kelley Blue Book, the only vehicle valuation and information source trusted and relied upon by both consumers and the automotive industry, have just named the 2015 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000!

While many inexpensive cars are decidedly uncool, the world’s auto manufacturers are putting more personality and distinction into their lower-priced offerings.

Not only have small cars never looked so good, but they also have never been more filled with cool content. Two criteria — fun-to-drive and fun-to-own — are critical among the deciding factors of what the editors freely admit is a very subjective “cool factor,” the over-arching number-one criterion for a vehicle to place on this list. Each vehicle is available for purchase at $18,000 or less.

$18,000 sounds like a ridiculously lower price point for cars you would actually want to buy and drive and own but somehow in spite of inflation…we still have a really good pool to pull from.”

Micah Muzio, managing editor of video for Kelley Blue Book, reveals the full list of the 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000 of 2015. He offers his tips for finding the perfect new car at the right price, and gives us a first look at a few of this year’s featured cars.
