Is it necessary to pay $40K in order to get a stimulating, engaging car? The answer is absolutely not; there are many vehicles out there that come with a good auto warranty for under $25K. Here are a few to consider.

The Honda Civic Si is a great choice at $21,110. This is a high performance car with a sleek shape. It also sports a sport-tuned suspension that is grippy. The engine on this vehicle has a 197 hp, 2.0 liter four cylinder I-VTEC. This car will have you smiling for many miles.

The Ford Mustang V6 Pony Car is a muscle car with a taste of retro. The Pony Package will give you 17-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, a grille treatment, as well as floor mats and striping. This is a 210hp V6 that will deliver loads of thrust.

If a convertible is your style, look to the Pontiac Solstice. This is a 173 hp, 2.4-liter. This vehicle comes standard with an 18-inch rolling rock, big brakes, and balanced chassis providing an exhilarating open-air experience.

Any of these vehicles will make you think you’re driving a car with a sticker of $40K, when in reality you’ll only shell out less than $25K. All of these come with new car warranties that will give you peace of mind.
