What: Hyundai Veloster
How much it costs: $22,550
Why we like it: Hyundai has gotten in the habit of over-delivering very good cars at underwhelming prices. The Veloster is the most out-and-out fun. A compact hatchback with an overly expressive front end, it's aimed at a young demographic. Still, my $22,550 test model was crammed with amenities like touch-screen navigation, automatic everything, Bluetooth and a rear-view camera. Ten-year-old Mercedes-Benzes should be so nice.
