5. Hyundai Elantra

Starting price: Approximately $15,000

Although current model year Electra’s will cost consumers more than $15K, previous year models are one of the coolest cars you can buy under this price point. Hyundai poured a lot of effort into getting the design of the car right featuring a smart interior, a large number of options that one can add to the car, and its overall sleek styling. The car is powered by a four-cylinder engine rated at 145 horsepower coupled to a six-speed manual t transmission. If buying the car new, consumers can also choose to upgrade to a six-speed automatic transmission on the vehicle. The ‘Sport’ version of the car has an upgraded 173 horsepower engine, and the overall fuel economy rating of the auto is 24 MPG (city) and 35 MPG (highway). The top speed of the Elantra is a respectable 123 MPH, and it can go from zero to 60 MPH in 8.0 seconds.
