Car buying. It's exciting, sometimes fun, and occasionally a pretty stressful experience for a lot of drivers. Here at your home for Jeep® SUVs, RAM trucks, and more, we want to focus on the excitement and the fun, and do away with the stress as much as possible.

Every year, automotive research firm AutoPacific collects and analyzes data from tens of thousands of new car owners, and uses it to determine standouts across a variety of categories for their "Ideal Vehicle Awards."

It can be difficult sometimes to define what makes a car "cool," but most of us know it when we see it. The editors at Driving Today took on the challenge of determining which models come out on top of that elusive cool factor, while still being affordable.
