U.S. News & World Report has released its "Best Car for the Money" awards for 2011.
The rankings are based on the opinions of hundreds of automotive journalists coupled with the cost of ownership for each vehicle compared to the competition.
The results were surprising in that no one brand won the majority of awards - meaning there is long-term value across many different manufacturers.
You just have to know which models to choose and which to stay away from.
