LemonLaw.com's Best Bets for 2009

We frequently receive calls and e-mails from consumers asking which vehicles provide the best value on the road. Consumer Advocate Jack Gillis and The Center for Auto Safety have put together a comprehensive list of Best Bets in the 2009 Car Book. These are the highest-rated vehicles in terms of crash tests, safety features, fuel economy, rollover prevention, maintenance and repair costs, warranties, insurance costs, customer complaints and overall performance. The Ultimate Car Book is available for sale through The Center For Auto Safety. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, please click here.
