Dodge HornetDodge's new Hornet crossover is on the pricey side of our cheap cars with a $29,995 starting price, but such is the cost of badge engineering an Italian. Rear seat HVAC ductwork comes standard on the Hornet. This may sound like no big deal, but it's not a given at this price point and anyone shuttling kids around will very much appreciate this touch. Base GT models also include the comfort of DZACC and black cloth/leatherette upholstery with red accents that just looks nice.That design is applied to genuine leather on the $37,000 GT Plus Hornet, which also boasts power-adjustable front seats with heat and ventilation, driver's memory settings, and a heated steering wheel. Real aluminum cabin accents can be optioned across the Hornet lineup, but the available Track Pack and Blacktop GT Bundle is what adds the most visual firepower to the Hornet's cabin.The $4,400 price tag on this package pushes the Hornet a bit beyond our price cap, but it's worth a look if only for the snappy black Alcantara-trimmed seats with red accents and embroidered Dodge stripe logos. Aluminum column-mounted paddle shifters are also part of the deal, along with bright-finished pedals, a "sporty" leather steering wheel, and special Inox steel door sill plates.Toyota CamryThe Toyota Camry's Era of Dowdiness has passed and been replaced by a car with the ability to turn heads, particularly inside. The entire Carmy lineup falls within our $40,000 price cap, from the $28,700 LE to the $34,900 XSE. Each has its merits, but let's just jump to the front of the line and discuss the Camry XSE with an interior that definitely qualifies as surprisingly nice. You could go with an all-black design, or you could get a little wild with the Cockpit Red scheme.It costs nothing but adds so much visual excitement with patterned bright red leather to the seats, dashboard, and door panels that we have to recommend it. Like all new Camrys, the XSE comes with DZACC and a wireless phone charging pad, but these range toppers go further with heated and power-adjustable front seats, a heated steering wheel, aluminum sport pedals, and a white LED ambient lighting system.This is not to suggest other Camry models are unworthy. The roughly $34,000 XLE can be dolled up with a two-tone cabin blending black and light gray, the latter finished with an elegant geometric pattern. These models also sport the big 12.3-inch configurable gauge cluster and the option for front seat ventilation. Even base model Camrys offer a gray-and-black cloth-covered cabin that is simple, but still manages to look nice. Let's not forget the mid-tier Camry SE that looks properly sporty with its black-and-white SofTex cabin, racy rubber-nibbed pedals, and contrast white stitching on the steering wheel.Subaru CrosstrekSubaru's Crosstrek hatchback has the benefit of strong practicality to bolster its case as a cheap car with a nice interior. 55 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats may not be an obvious definition of "nice," but you'll likely be thinking differently when comparing that much space to, say, the trunk on a Camry. Plus, at just $26,995 to start, the Crosstrek is compelling from its price point alone.Granted, the gray cloth interior on these base models isn't much to look at, but for about $27,000, you can step up to the Premium trim line and its deeper array of niceties. That includes patterned gray-and-black upholstery, a six-speaker stereo, a handy illuminated glove box, and the option for a sunroof and heated front seats. Sport trim lines get nicer with yellow contrast stitching throughout, seats with brown accents and an embossed triple-pointed pattern, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.However, the $32,000 Crosstrek Limited undoubtedly has the nicest interior thanks to its 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat and black leather upholstery decorated with orange stitching and a unique pattern. If you're looking for the most heavily equipped Crosstrek, that would be the roughly $33,000 Wilderness model. Along with a host of off-roading upgrades, this model features Star-Tex water repellent seats trimmed with copper accents and featuring embossed Subaru Wilderness logo headrests. Nice.
