Focus, Fiesta Named 2011 Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000: Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com

Head-turning looks and impressive handling were among the reasons the 2012 Focus and 2011 Fiesta were named 2011 Top 10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000 by Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com.

Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com cited fun-to-drive and fun-to-own as two of the key criteria in the selection process: “The cars on the list not only do everything you want and need a car to do, but also do it in an engaging and enjoyable manner.” Fiesta made the list for the second year in a row thanks in part to its well-crafted interior, nimble handling and EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of up to 40 hwy mpg (Fiesta SE with SFE).

As for the Focus, Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com noted that not only does it have a healthy list of standard equipment but also offers optional features such as leather-trimmed seats and SYNC® with MyFord Touch™ for that extra cool factor.
