Kelley Lists Top 10 Coolest Cars Under $18K


IRVINE, Calif. -- If you don't want to pay top dollar for a new car, there's good news for you.

Kelley Blue Book has released a list of what it calls top-10 cool, affordable new vehicles. The prices start at about $15,500, topping out under $18,000.

Cars on the list include the new Dodge Caliber, the Mazda3 and the Chevrolet HHR as well as some more familiar names like the Kia Sportage and the Honda Civic.

Kelley Blue Book said it chose the $18,000 ceiling because it means a monthly payment of $350 or less over five years.

Editor Jack Nerad said the economy cars offer a number of key features previously available only in luxury cars, like an I-Pod connection.

Kelley Blue Book may be best known for listing the price of used cars.

I think it's done on an average, not taking into account differences in markets, geography, etc.

Mazda3 06 for 12,560 you probably talking about 3i WHOLE plane? because its way too cheap, Probably with a casset player too j/k, damn too cheap.
As for Civic 06, it was my other option to go for if mazda wouldn't give me a better price, well Civic 06 EX with no sunroof was almost $19,000 without all taxes and etc. I got mine Mazda 3s, 06 with 2 miles and Pearl White for 19,900 out of the door, TOTAL. And freaking Civic, slower, looks like Spaceship inside, except for reliability it has and mileage. I guess those are just estimes based on where u live, here Mazda 3s fully loaded probably 22-23K, in Russia this car costs 30K, so nothing for me to complain when i got this good of a deal.
