All these vehicles meet their recommendation criteria, which means they have all scored well on reliability and safety. That's a great plus not only for you, but if you're planning on buying a car for a family member, such as a first-time driver.
Vehicles on the list include the 2014 Chevrolet Sonic, 2014 Scion xB, 2014 Volkswagen Golf, 2014 Hyundai Sonata, and 2014 Honda Civic. And for even greater savings, make sure to use both TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices being offered in your area.
