2017 Mazda3 Named Coolest New Car Under $18,000
By Product Expert | Posted in Mazda Awards, Mazda3 on Wednesday, May 24th, 2017 at 7:33 pmFor the 14th year in a row, the Mazda3 found its way onto the 10 Coolest News Cars Under $18,000 list according to Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com. This makes it the all-time champion of the annual list, and it’s the fourth year in a row that it’s landed the no. 1 spot! The Mazda3 made its way onto the market 14 years ago, meaning it’s been on this list every year since the beginning.
“The Mazda3 is widely regarded as the best-looking and most fun-to-drive vehicle in the segment, and we call it one of the coolest cars of all time,” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com.
Fun-to-drive and fun-to-own are two of the main ways that KBB.com decides which vehicles make it onto this list. Although it’s completely subjective as far as the “cool factor” goes, KBB.com still shares the list to give drivers an idea of which new, exciting vehicles are also extremely affordable.
