Kelley Blue Book Top 10 Cars for under $18k – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nBeing in the market for a cheap new car used to mean resigning yourself to time bombs like the Chevrolet<\/a> Citation or windups like the Geo Metro or Ford<\/a> Aspire, but the times, they are a-changin’, and the good folk at Kelley Blue Book<\/em> have worked up their very own top 10 list of cool cars for under $18,000.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, the 2011 Ford Fiesta<\/a> nabbed a mention thanks to its 28 mpg city, 40 mpg highway EPA rating and mile-long standard feature list. Likewise, the new 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring<\/a> received a spot on the list. The Korean automaker’s new long roof manages 23 city and 30 mph highway thanks to its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. <\/p>\n

The base Mitsubishi Lancer<\/a> also made the cut – another 2.0-liter bruiser, the baby brother of the Evolution nabs 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. Suzuki<\/a> also got some love on the KBB<\/em> list with its SX4<\/a>. When optioned with the five-speed gearbox, the car walks away with 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. Rounding out the list is the ever lovable 2010 Honda Fit<\/a>. Just like the Suzuki, if you want a few more miles per tank, you’ll need to opt for the manual transmission. Thusly equipped, the little Honda can 28 mpg city and up to 35 mpg highway.<\/p>\n
