Not much surprise seeing the Camaro and Mustang top the charts but seeing a Ford Fusion so high? And the Volvo C30 three door hatchback isn't likely to be on everyone's radar. What might surprise many is the prices. For new cars under 25 000 there is a lot of breathing room there for some of these models.
Affordable Horsepower?
In our last list, the Kia Optima was highest for most Horsepower Cars Under 20k. Here it's just taking the token spot as so many models offered 200 horsepower at under 25k. And yet for just a few hundred or few thousand you have the option to add 40, 80, even 123 extra horsepower. While there are under 20k options, the 22k - 23k options are really where the value is at.
