The folks at Money Magazine wanted to make sure all different kinds of consumers knew exactly which vehicle would be right for them, so they ended up analyzing models according to nearly two dozen categories. Their main focus when determining winners was on vehicles that delivered exceptional value as well as the best that a specific category had to offer in terms of the given attributes. In addition to these things, they kept other important factors in mind as well, things that are important in an automobile regardless of the category in question – such as how it performs, how it handles, and how safe it is.
