A good price on a car or truck is no deal at all if you don’t like the vehicle.
Each year, I drive between 50 and 70 new vehicles. These come from the manufacturers’ press fleets and I drive many of them for a week in the sort of everyday situations that most drivers experience.
I rate them not only for fuel economy and performance, but for their overall value and the driving satisfaction they deliver.
So, with the 2008 model year officially coming to a close — and with manufacturers and dealers slashing prices — here are some of my picks for vehicles you should consider purchasing. My picks include sedans, crossover SUVs, full-size SUVs and even a sports car.
