Best Cars to Buy for 2017
November 17, 2016
This week, Kelley Blue Book (KBB) released the results of their Best Buy Awards for 2017.
The awards pick the best vehicle in 12 different categories, based on costs, value, performance, and ease-of-use. The awards are judged by editors that get to see and test virtually every vehicle on the market. Check out the full results below.
As always, if you're shopping for a new car right now, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly see the best deals being offered in your area.
