How We Select Vehicles
To make it as a smart deal, vehicles must have better-than-average crash test scores from NHTSA and the IIHS (if tested), and ideally rate at least a combined 20 miles per gallon by the EPA. It also has to be a car that we would personally recommend. Finally, a smart deal car is required to carry a discount, either by dealer incentive, automaker rebate or special finance rate. Regional differences may apply, and though we list expiration dates, rebates can end at any time. Though we list sticker prices on the following pages, be sure to use the invoice price as your starting point.
