Although the U.S. is still mired in economic uncertainty, consumers became more likely to buy a new or used car this summer, as several makes and models have enjoyed a good few months. USA Today reports that many fun-to-drive cars are flying off lots.

At the top of the list is the sporty Kia Soul. In July, sales of the care jumped an impressive 26 percent. Even more surprising is that, compared to units sold in January, its figures were up 90 percent. Experts believe the momentum will continue into next year as the manufacturers have worked on improving gas mileage and giving the car a sportier feel.

According to the news source, Volkwagen has also seen a summer sales surge. Specifically, the GTI version of the Golf is especially popular as the GTI model made up 40 percent of all Golf sales.

Also enjoying a resurgent season is the Jeep Wrangler, with a 43 percent jump in July sales compared to 2010.

Whether looking for a fuel-efficient Kia or an attractive Volkwagen GTI, New Jersey Auto Auction has plenty of makes and models at affordable prices.
