February 18, 2016
Some vehicles are worth your hard-earned money and some are not. US News & World Report's Best Cars Blog recently announced the winners of their 2016 Best Cars for the Money awards.
The list features cars, trucks and SUVs in 23 categories that have positive reviews and long-term value. Winners include the 2016 Nissan Murano, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 Toyota Camry, and 2016 Audi A3. The full list is below, along with current leasing and financing deals.
And for even more great deals on these award-winning vehicles, I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect .
