2014 Best Cars for the Money
BY JAMIE PAGE DEATON | FEBRUARY 12, 2014
Our 2014 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.
