Kelley Blue Book is a quintessential online automotive resource. People constantly use their website for price quotes to negotiate trade-ins, purchasing prices and advice for choosing the right car. They are always putting together top ten lists for different kinds of people who need cars for different kinds of things.

They haven't ignored the college crowd. They have compiled a list of new cars under $18,000 and used cars newer than 2005 with a value of less than $12,000 (so ones that were around $18,000 when they were new) that they believe are the best for college students. Are they? Let's find out!

#10. 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Their first choice is the new, and really quite handsome offering from Chevrolet called the Cruze. The starting price is a bit high at $16,995, but that could be due to a very, very long list of standard equipment. Every single Cruze has ten airbags. That is pretty darn safe. The only risk with being one of the first to buy the first rounds of a brand new car design are recalls. There is bound to be at least one, which could be a pretty big inconvenience.

    I do some web work for GM and thought it might be helpful for you all to know that GM has a discount for college students and recent grads. Check out our website http://bit.ly/c1Mcp3 for more info. There's also a Facebook page where you can share your experiences and get money saving tips. Check it out when you have some time! http://bit.ly/dCsYc3
