KBB Names This Year’s 10 Best Cars Under $20k for Students – What Would You Propose?

If you’re a teen student and you (…or your parents) can afford to own a brand new car, you should consider yourself a very lucky guy or gal.

Now, if it’s a new ride you’re interested in, the editors at Kelley Blue Book (KBB) have compiled a list with the 10 Best Back-to-School Cars priced under $20,000 for the 2014-2015 school year.

According to KBB, marks were given for “being both practical and affordable, with extra credit added for style, features and personality”. Japanese models dominate the list with seven entries, while American, German and Korean carmakers each having one representative.

Their top choice was the new 2015 Honda Fit.

“Regardless of a student’s interests or style, there is a stellar new-car option for them on our diverse 10 Best Back-to-School Cars list for 2014,” commented Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for KBB.

“The redesigned 2015 Honda Fit came to the head of the class as our No. 1 Back-to-School Car this year with the most flexible interior you’ll find in a subcompact car, boasting an affordable price while simultaneously offering the same sporty fun and refinement for which the Honda brand is well known,” he said.

Now how about you give us your top three choices for students, and to make it more interesting, you can include used cars priced under $20k – just make sure it’s something teens can afford to run…
