I Have Driven Over 250 Car Models: These Are the 3 Best and Worst for Your Money
With so many models and options on the market, choosing the right car for your money isn't easy. The wrong choice leaves you trapped in a money pit, draining your finances with repair costs, poor gas mileage and lack of options to recoup your investment. But the right car purchase serve you well for years with affordable upkeep, great fuel economy and strong resale value. Find Out: Check Out: To help you get the most bang for your buck, we spoke to Melanie Musson, an auto industry expert with to get her opinion on the car models she thinks are the best value, as well as which are the worst. Best Values Honda Civic The Honda Civic is a compact sedan with great fuel efficiency, with an EPA rating of up to 36 mpg combined for models with the 1.5L turbo engine. The base model 2024 Honda Civic LX has a starting MSRP of $23,950. Don't let the small size fool you — the Civic's well-designed interior gives you plenty of room for passengers and cargo. Its strong resale value and low maintenance costs make it a smart choice for those seeking a dependable and economical vehicle. 'They have very few problems even when they reach high mileage,' said Musson. 'They're luxurious at a budget price.' Good To Know: Honda Odyssey If you're looking for a minivan, the Honda Odyssey is a great pick. The cavernous interior provides comfortable seating for up to eight passengers, and the powerful V6 engine delivers smooth performance while still achieving a respectable 22 mpg combined. The starting MSRP is $38,240, and it will serve you well for over 200,000 miles with just routine maintenance. 'The Honda Civic and Honda Odyssey are two of the most reliable vehicles,' said Musson. 'Their safety features make you feel secure.' Subaru Outback The Subaru Outback is a rugged midsize SUV with all-wheel-drive capability and solid fuel efficiency at 29 mpg combined. The roomy interior carries a lot of cargo. Subaru is also known for its durability — you should expect it to last well beyond 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. 'Subaru Outbacks are great buys for your money,' Musson said. 'The all-wheel-drive standard feature is hard to beat. The interior has a great, user-friendly design. They're workhorses and will provide reliable service for years.' Worst Values Ram 2500/3500 Diesel If you're in the market for a truck, you may want to think twice about the diesel engine RAM 2500 or 3500. You might be drawn to the macho image of heavy-duty trucks, but diesel engines require more expensive maintenance and repairs. 'One of the worst vehicles for your money is a Ram diesel,' Musson said. 'The parts on a diesel truck are ridiculously expensive. Not every mechanic will work on a diesel, so your options for repair shops are limited. The parts fail, and you'll need repairs frequently.' But what makes these trucks a bad value is their poor fuel economy. With an estimated 15-20 mpg combined, you'll spend big bucks at the pump. Diesel fuel also tends to be more expensive than gas, which will add up over time. Land Rover Range Rover Another worst buy, according to Musson, is the Land Rover Range Rover. While they're undeniably stylish, she says they're a maintenance nightmare. 'Their starting price is high, so you'd expect reliability,' said Musson. 'That's not the case though. They're one of the least reliable vehicles, and they're frustrating when parts start breaking down.' The starting MSRP for the 2024 model is $107,400. For most buyers, these luxury SUVs just aren't worth the financial pain. Ford Focus The Ford Focus has been a popular choice for car buyers on a budget for a long time. Ford has recently stopped making the Focus. You might be tempted to get an even better bargain by picking up a used one. But even for the price, they underperform consistently. One of the main issues is poor reliability. 'Skip the Ford Focus,' said Musson. 'It's a budget car to begin with, so at least you're not spending a ton on the purchase price. However, it's the kind of car that just has a lot of annoying problems like window electronics that stop working and a noisy ride.' You might get a great deal upfront, but the high likelihood of costly repairs and low resale value make it a poor choice.

Why the Hyundai Santa Fe is a CarExpert Choice winner
The design of the fifth-generationHyundai Santa Fe might be polarising and it's certainly distinctive, but it's not the reason we named it Australia's best affordable large SUV in the inaugural 2025 CarExpert Choice Awards. Inside its boxy exterior there's a refined, high-quality and high-tech three-row interior that's just as unique and sets a new standard for a mainstream large SUV in terms of presentation and accommodation. Compared to its Kia Sorento sister model, which is still good enough to be a finalist in this segment (the five-seat Subaru Outback is our other finalist for this award) even if the fourth generation is now five years old, the Santa Fe offers better second- and third-row space and amenity. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The latest Santa Fe also provides great outward visibility from all seats, a larger cargo area accessed via a lower loading lip, and outstanding ride comfort without compromising its exemplary dynamics (for a large SUV). There's also a long list of standard safety and multimedia technology even from base level, with the cheapest front-wheel drive variant powered by a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and fitted with everything a growing family would need for $53,000 before on-road costs. In all there are eight variants, three equipment grades and two powertrain options including an efficient 1.6-litre hybrid that's also available in front- and all-wheel drive form. And the flagship Calligraphy AWD hybrid, which tops the range at $76,500 in seven-seat form and $77,000 in six-seat guise with a pair of second-row captain's chairs (both plus on-roads), not only looks and feels more like a Range Rover inside its luxurious cabin but also comes with all of Hyundai's premium features, including huge and responsive infotainment and instrument cluster screens, a head-up display, and twin wireless phone chargers. There's also cavernous storage capacity including two glove boxes, a huge twin-hinged lidded centre console box that can be accessed from the front and rear, and no fewer than 16 cupholders! The Santa Fe is no ladder-frame rock-hopper (which is why we have a separate award for best off-road SUVs like the Ford Everest and Toyota Prado), but also making it an excellent large SUV for adventurous families are XRT option packages that give it a decent boost in all-terrain capability. All this is backed by attractive aftersales propositions including relatively low running and service costs, and a generous warranty. "Look, you're either going to love or hate the styling. But even if you hate it, consider just how practical that boxy body makes the Santa Fe," said CarExpert news editor William Stopford. "The old Santa Fe was already such a good thing, I was wondering how Hyundai could improve on it. Well, they have – this is a terrifically packaged, well-appointed crossover SUV loaded with tech, featuring competitive petrol and hybrid powertrains, and wrapped in distinctive styling." CarExpert marketplace editor James Wong agreed. "The trusty Santa Fe went through a massive metamorphosis in this latest generation, and while its looks are polarising its excellent packaging and luxurious level of features and tech are outstanding," he said. "There's the option of both a generally efficient hybrid or a torquey turbo-petrol drivetrain, and the Santa Fe offers heaps of configurations and personalisation options for discerning Australian families that want to stand out without breaking the bank." CarExpert journalist Max Davies said: "The quirky-looking Santa Fe remains a reliable option in Australia's large SUV market, offering a broad range of standard equipment, sturdy build quality, and a compliant ride at affordable prices. "You now also have the benefit of either hybrid or petrol powertrains, which means there should be something in the range to suit all budgets and lifestyles."

My family of 5 outgrew our Subaru Outback. We test drove the Volkswagen ID Buzz and loved it — except for one thing.
We've had our Subaru Outback since 2018, when my first child was just a newborn. Now that our kids are 7, 5, and 5, while the car is still as reliable as day one, it's become a source of stress because our kids fight so much in it from the lack of space. My husband had been suggesting a minivan for our family, with three rows to space the kids out and sliding doors for easy loading. I, however, refuse to be a minivan mom. I find them ugly and impractical. That all changed when I saw the new electric Volkswagen ID Buzz, so we decided to test it with our family — and now we are torn. We need more space for our family so decided to test out the electric Volkswagen ID Buzz. There's no denying we need more space in the car. With three car seats, growing limbs, and all the stuff from school and sports, the back row is tight. That's the major cause of fights in our car, which makes any trip (short or long) incredibly stressful for whoever is driving. As for the rest of the car, it's got what we need: a big trunk, the ability to place a turtle top, and an overall reliable engine. My first car was a Volkswagen Golf, which I loved, so I've always been a bit partial to the brand. We also tested the Volkswagen Atlas Crossport, which has two rows instead of three, and even having just a bit more space in the second row made our kids more comfortable and manageable. When we saw previews on social media of the ID Buzz, VW's new version of their 1950s Bus, I was intrigued. It looked cuter than a van, but still offered what we thought we needed. The third row is a true row. When the kids saw the VW ID Buzz, they all squealed in excitement. I won't lie, it looks so cool in person. Even while driving it to summer camp drop off, we saw people turn around to do a double take and kids pointing as we drove past. If you don't like the attention, be warned that this car attracts all the looks. The ID Buzz we tested didn't have captain seats, so we had to lower one seat for one of our kids to sit in the third row. As I was setting up the car seats, I noticed that the third row is a full row. I'm 5'6" tall and was able to sit comfortably with extra space for my legs. Loading the kids was pretty easy. You can open the sliding doors with the key, and even with the seat lowered, it was easy for all three of them to navigate their bodies inside. One detail I loved was the ability to open the doors three different ways: from the remote, as mentioned, from the actual door, and also from a button near the driver's seat. This last option made it so I could get in the car, type in our destination on the screen, and not have to wait around to close the doors. It doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles. One of the biggest complaints online has been the interior design, which some feel is lacking compared to how innovative the exterior design is. For my family's needs, this wasn't a problem at all. Coming from a 2017 car to a 2025 model, we could tell the difference in things like heated seats in the middle row and a more dynamic screen (our Subaru's screen doesn't even show a map). That said, the VW ID Buzz doesn't have that many bells and whistles, and I actually like that. We recently drove a BMW 7 Series after getting a free upgrade from a rental car company, and I really disliked all the extra buttons in the back row. The trunk space was limited but enough for day-to-day use. The trunk space in the ID Buzz is nonexistent compared to the space in our Subaru Outback if the third row is in use. I do like that the ID Buzz has two baskets that can be covered by a platform, allowing us to store groceries or sports equipment without taking up precious trunk space. While the amount of space wouldn't be an issue on a day-to-day basis, if we were going on a road trip, the space in the trunk does feel a bit limited. But there was one major drawback for us. Overall, I've found the Volkswagen ID Buzz easy to drive, fun, and reliable. While there's criticism for the range — which is advertised at 230 miles — as a city car to move kids from one location to the other, the range felt fine. We were able to run almost a full week without charging, and then stopped to charge while during groceries for about 30 minutes. The one criticism I have for the ID Buzz is its price point. The 4-wheel-drive, which is what we would need in Maine, is retailing at over $72,000. This puts it over our other car, an Audi Q7, the 2025 model of which is now retailing at $70,000 and is considered a luxury SUV.

The Best SUV Lease Deals of July 2025
If you're in the market for a new SUV and want to keep monthly payments manageable, July 2025 is offering up a lineup of lease deals that are worth a serious look. Whether you're after a city-sized subcompact like the Kia Seltos or need the all-weather versatility of a Subaru Outback, manufacturers are dangling some impressive offers across the board. Lease deals change monthly and often vary by region, so you'll want to confirm with your local dealership or check online listings before heading in. But for now, these are some of the strongest offers available this month, with down payments generally ranging from $2,200 to $4,000 and monthly rates under $320. Let's break down what makes these 10 SUV leases stand out in July 2025. For a lease that balances affordability with comfort, the 2025 Hyundai Kona SEL trim is available this month for $3,999 down and $249 per month. Recently redesigned, the Kona now offers more rear legroom and cargo space while still maintaining its tidy subcompact footprint. Standard safety features and a user-friendly interface make this an ideal choice for small families or solo commuters alike. The Hyundai Tucson continues to shine in the compact SUV segment. With a lease offer of $3,999 down and $259/month, the base SE trim delivers a generous list of standard features, including a full suite of safety tech. Hyundai has freshened up the Tucson for 2025 with subtle exterior tweaks and thoughtful interior updates. If you're willing to spend just $10 more a month, the SEL trim adds even more conveniences, such as a power liftgate and push-button start. Need something a bit bigger and ready for adventure? The 2025 Subaru Outback, long known for its go-anywhere attitude, is leasing at $4,274 down and $275 per month. All-wheel drive is standard, as you'd expect, and Subaru's EyeSight driver assist suite helps with peace of mind. This lease deal is for the base trim, but even that includes solid tech and enough cargo space to make weekend getaways a breeze. The 2025 Kia Sportage is another well-rounded option for compact SUV shoppers. Its $3,999 down and $259/month lease offer puts you behind the wheel of the front-wheel-drive LX trim. For just $20 more per month, you can upgrade to an all-wheel-drive version, which could be worth it depending on where you live. The Sportage delivers smooth, quiet driving dynamics and comes loaded with tech like Kia's Drive Wise driver aid system. Chevrolet's 2025 Trax got a major overhaul last year, and it shows. The midsize-feeling subcompact comes with an ultra-accessible lease deal: $2,209 down and $279 per month-but only for 24 months, not the typical 36. Even so, the midlevel LT trim includes safety tech like Chevy Safety Assist, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and LED headlights, making it a strong choice for new drivers or city commuters. For those who want their SUV to be as enjoyable to drive as it is practical, the 2025 Mazda CX-50 brings something special. This month's lease deal on the 2.5 S Preferred trim is $2,999 down and $319 per month-slightly higher than some others on this list, but you're getting a more premium feel in return. The CX-50 features standard all-wheel drive, a luxurious cabin, and Mazda's trademark athletic handling. Chevrolet's redesigned 2025 Equinox leads the pack with a compelling lease offer: $2,739 down and $299 per month for 36 months. With an MSRP just shy of $30,000, the front-wheel-drive LT trim provides a refined driving experience and a quiet cabin, alongside features like dual digital displays and heated front seats. Chevy Safety Assist comes standard, making this a strong option for both first-time lessees and returning SUV drivers. The 2025 Kia Seltos continues to punch above its weight, thanks to its roomy cabin and sharp tech package. With all-wheel drive included on the LX trim, this SUV comes in at $3,499 down and $259 a month. It's a particularly appealing offer for drivers in snow-prone regions or those who simply prefer the added grip. Combined with Kia's industry-leading warranty coverage, it's an excellent value play. The 2025 Honda HR-V remains a strong contender in the subcompact space, especially for drivers who value a quiet ride and strong safety credentials. This month's lease deal comes in at $3,699 down and $289/month for 36 months, covering the all-wheel-drive LX trim. One standout feature: active noise cancellation, which uses the speaker system to reduce unwanted cabin noise. Rounding out the list is the 2025 Buick Envista, a subcompact SUV that leans hard into sleek, coupe-like styling. Despite its upscale appearance, it offers one of the cheapest lease deals this month: $3,989 down and $229 per month for 24 months. The Preferred trim comes with a strong feature set, including forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and wireless smartphone connectivity. This deal is targeted toward current lessees of vehicles from 2020 or newer, so check your eligibility. July's lease deals make a compelling case for getting into a new SUV without committing to a full purchase. Whether you're prioritizing space, tech, comfort, or all-wheel drive, there's a lease deal that can meet your needs without overextending your budget. As always, be sure to read the fine print and verify availability in your area. Some deals are contingent on your current lease status or are only available in certain regions. And don't forget-tax, title, and registration fees are not included in these monthly payment estimates. Still, for those looking to drive something new and dependable, these SUVs offer a solid mix of value, capability, and curb appeal. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
