Kelley Blue Book® Coolest Cars Under $18,000
In 2008 Kelley Blue Book looked for "cool"... and didn't have to look far.
Here’s a low-priced car that not only delivers on style, handling and suspension, but is fun-to-drive with scads of room and comfort. It can also be equipped with SYNC, a state-of-the-art voice-activated communications system.* Access your music library and activate your Bluetooth enabled phone with simple vocal commands.
Cool? Yup! But safety and good fuel economy are also Cool. The editors of Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com used many factors as they evaluated the candidates for the "Ten Coolest" award.

With SYNC technology, its dynamic new styling, Euro-inspired, sharp-handling suspension and stingy 35-mpg fuel economy,** it's pretty easy to consider Focus "Cool."
In fact, someone who knows cars very well already has.
*Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control. Only use mobile phones and other devices, even with voice commands, when it is safe to do so.
**EPA estimated 24 city/35 hwy mpg, manual transmission. |
