Our Favorite Funky Cars
Everyone loves a quirky car, so we’ve compiled a list of three funky vehicles we know you’ll love.
2020 Kia Soul
One of the funkiest cars currently on the market is the Kia Soul. Introduced in 2008, the Soul rocketed into popularity thanks to its square look and memorable TV commercial, featuring dancing hamsters driving a Kia Soul. Kia was, and still is, marketing the Soul to drivers aged 18-35. Since then, the Soul has enjoyed modest success in Kia’s lineup. Now in its third generation, the Kia Soul looks to have grown up a little bit, but its youthful vigor is still apparent. These days, you can get a used Kia Soul that’s only four years old for around $14,000, a great bargain for a car that’s still relatively new. Not to mention, Kia’s award-winning powertrain warranty follows all of their models for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
2018 Mini Hatch
The Mini name has been synonymous with small, quirky cars since the 1960s. Most everyone, gearhead or not, has heard of the Mini Cooper and can spot one in a crowded parking lot. Following the sale of the Mini brand to BMW in 2000, the Mini lives on as a more practical little car. However, it hasn’t lost much of its original funkiness. You can still turn heads in a Mini, and have fun doing it thanks to its small stature and choice of peppy engines. When we look at average used prices of Minis, you can find examples like a 2018 Mini Hatch for around $17,000, a good price considering a new Mini could set you back close to $42,000.
2016 Honda CR-Z
While the Honda ZR-Z may be a bit lesser-known than our previous two entrants, it still deserves a spot on our list. As we all know, Honda enjoys a near-peerless reputation for reliability, which goes for all its past and present nameplates. The CR-Z, introduced in 2011, is no exception to the fact that Honda makes long-lasting vehicles. The CR-Z is considered a Sport compact car. It has a two-door hatchback look to it, and sports a feisty front and rear-end look. The only powertrain option was a 1.5-liter i-VTEC hybrid engine producing 130 horsepower and 140 lb-ft torque. These days, you can find great examples of the 2016 CR-Z for around $14,000. Considering all the fun you can have and the Honda reliability, it certainly looks worth the money.
Our three funky cars are certainly head-turners, and offer great fun and looks. Which one do you see yourself in?
