2018 Chevrolet Cruze
The Chevy Cruze has a six-speed manual transmission and a turbo-diesel engine, along with mileage of 30 mpg in the city, all of which would have been factored into its 8.4 out of 10 rating it received from the U.S. News. The Cruze has a phenomenally compact design and is incredibly practical. It features an incredible gas mileage and its predicted reliability rating is respectable. It is also fitted with all of Chevrolet’s technological bells and whistles.
2018 Lincoln MKZ
The Lincoln MKZ is a hybrid powertrain that has integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It is a luxury car which makes it pretty expensive, however, it still has a lower price than similar cars. This comfortable vehicle is not just more affordable than its counterparts, it also comes with an incredibly reasonable series of projected ownership costs. That being said, it does lack much of the opulence that other cars in this range feature when it comes to interior design.
