On a budget but still looking for a stylish ride? Kelley Blue Book has kindly compiled a helpful list of 2012’s 10 coolest cars selling for less than $18,000. We know that price estimates often factor in add-ons and incentive savings, so to keep things simple, for our purposes we’re sticking with the starting MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price) for each model.

10. 2012 Volkswagen Jetta ($16,645)
9. 2012 Scion iQ ($15,995)
