Everybody wants a nice car with a lot of features. But many people can't afford it.

For those folks, the editors of Kelley Blue Book, which helps determine prices for new and used cars, have developed a list of 10 very cool models that sell for less than $18,000.

Editorial Director Jack Nerad said there is a variety of exciting, fun vehicles.

The group chose $18,000 as a cutoff because that would usually give buyers an average monthly payment of $300 to $350 over a 5-year loan.

Fuel economy wasn't part of choosing the cars, but KBB said they all provide good mileage.

The cars were chosen based on price, design, style and performance.

The list:

Toyota Tacoma PreRunner

Scion xB

Ford Focus ZX3 SES

Kia Spectra hatchback

Chevrolet Cobalt LS coupe

Hyundai Tiburon

Mazda 3 S hatchback

Scion tC

Mini Cooper

Honda Element
