U.S. News & World Report Loves Acura MDX/RDX

When shopping for a new car, most buyers want a good value. To some
people, that means giving up on a car that has the performance, features
and comfort they want for a car that they think will be a better fit
for their budget in the long run.
It's important to realize, though, that a bad car with a rock-bottom
price is no bargain. A low up-front price can hide high operating costs
down the line. Also, as much time as people spend in their cars, getting
a car that's not quite right, even if the price is right, can quickly
wear on most owners.
The Best Cars for the Money awards cover 21 different automotive
categories, so it's easy to find a great car that's also a great value
and works for your lifestyle. If you're in the market for a new car,
truck or SUV, the 2017 Best Cars for the Money award winners make
excellent choices.
The 2017 Best Cars for the Money awards highlight cars that are great
values and great cars to own. To find the award winners, we combined
the average price paid from TrueCar.com and five-year total cost of
ownership data from Vincentric, LLC with the U.S. News Best Cars
rankings data. The U.S. News rankings are based on the opinion of the
automotive press about a car's performance, interior features and
interior comfort, combined with reliability and safety ratings. To pick
its winners U.S. News considers safety, reliability, expert opinion,
MSRP, and retained value.
