Cars with good MPG and Cargo Space
December 1, 2016
Consumer Reports this week compiled a list of vehicles that have both good fuel economy and lots of cargo space. The list shows that buying a smaller vehicle to save money on gas doesn't mean you need to sacrifice cargo space.
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.
