Looking to find the perfect ride for yourself? Although cars these days are built better than the vehicles of yesteryear, the sheer number of options makes it hard for car buyers to pick the right model for them. We know the struggle all too well, and that’s why we did the research for you. Here are our top picks for the best cars of the year.
Cadillac CT4-V
Cadillac has, over time, become a true competitor for European performance cars with its V-series sports sedan. The CT4-V perfectly embodies this with its action-poised exterior, six-speed manual, and quick-shifting nature. A typical Cadillac, this model has all the amenities you would expect from the brand, including power leatherette seats, multiple trims, and Apple CarPlay. The style that is most popular is the Blackwing Manual, which has a starting price of $61,890 and comes with rear-wheel drive and a 3.6L V6 twin-turbo engine. The car delivers 15 MPG in city driving conditions and 23 MPG on the highway.
Tesla Model 3
Thanks to its excellent driving range, electrified performance, and wealth of features, the Tesla Model 3 is a great choice for any auto enthusiast who wants to drive an electric car. That said, the interior lacks the craftsmanship that is seen in competing luxury models. The Model 3 can seat up to a total of five people and is available in three trim levels. One of the most popular styles is the Standard Range Plus RWD, which comes with rear-wheel drive and an electric engine.
Chevrolet Malibu
One of the few domestic-brand sedan models that are still available in the US, the Malibu competes against the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord in the midsize-sedan segment. This car offers a spacious interior, a comfortable ride, and an excellent infotainment system. The performance is slightly underwhelming, but given the price it is available at, it is an excellent purchase.
Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang’s performance-oriented ride quality and racing looks make it a great choice. And thanks to its price, the Mustang is a bargain for a performance model. The car comes in a total of six trim levels, and the most popular style is the GT Premium Fastback.
