For the 13th consecutive year, we end the ALL ABOUT CARS model year by focusing on the vehicles we have determined to be the “best deals on wheels” in 2017, and next week will we present our “vehicle of the year” regardless of price.

To be clear, delivering the best bang for the buck doesn’t always translate into sales. To make ALL ABOUT CARS’ Car Buy of the Year list, sales is not part of the equation. To be considered for this list, I must have test-driven the vehicle during calendar 2017 and dollar for value, or worth vs. cost carries the most weight, though some abstracts still apply.

Rated for this year’s competition, I test drove 53 vehicles, drove them, tested them and examined them for about a week each, using them as daily drivers around town, for errands and for maneuvering; on the highway for long trips, for passing, stability and for fun; and accelerating them and braking them hard on straight tracks and banked venues, auto-crosses and drag strips, and checking out what passengers and onlookers reported.

Some years we have higher-priced vehicles of great value on the list -- a low price is not always the sign of a great value. Price certainly is a factor; as is fuel economy, but the vehicle’s personality, how it fits its niche and how you feel driving it all play a part. This year, all the vehicles selected were under $40,000, with the top buy one of two priced under $20,000 and six were priced under $30,000.

The candidates were graded in eight categories, with vehicles earning 10 points for best possible to 1 point for worst possible. I gave only eight perfect 10s all year, and no vehicle received less than a charitable 5 in any category. My eight graded segments are: Interior; Safety; Power; Handling/Ride; Economy/Price; Looks; Niche-fitting and a Miscellaneous grouping in which I took into consideration the “feel-good” factor and other subjective intangibles

One more thing: the difference between this week’s Best Car Buy winner and next week’s Car of the Year leader is that this week it is all about best value for the price across all eight categories; not necessarily the lowest amount of dollars spent. Next week’s winner is all about the car, truck or crossover and what it delivers, regardless of price – just the pure vehicle.

My 2017 Top Buys of the Year are led by an above-class sedan, an iconic muscle car, a hybrid crossover and a sub-$20K SUV. Prices reflect my review vehicles-as-tested.

No. 1 Hyundai Elantra: Sculpted body and class-above features -- $19,755.
The Hyundai Elantra, completely redesigned for 2017, has evolved with bold sophisticated styling; a longer, wider and more stable architecture; and all-new efficient powertrains for enhanced fuel economy; better ride quality and noise insulation; comprehensive safety with class-above features; and an impressive assortment of high tech and infotainment items. Aggressively priced with value far greater than their badge perception, Elantra projects confidence with sculpted body forms blended with functional aerodynamics Powered by a 2.0-liter Nu MPI Atkinson four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb. ft. of torque, mixed-use testing yielded an average of 33.2mpg.

No. 2. 2017 Chevrolet Camaro: History and muscle under $30k -- $28,275.
Looking great and performing young for being 50 years old, the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro builds on its legacy with styling, performance, tech and infotainment, and new for 2017 are an available 50th Anniversary Edition and a “FIFTY” badge on the steering wheel of all models. With a 6.2-liter V-8 engine that produces 455 hp and 455 lbs.-ft. you get a sub-5-second zero-to-60mph dash, and I averaged 21.6 mpg.

No. 3 Kia Niro: The ‘Un-Hybrid’ is an Un-Crossover rated at 51mpg -- $25,570.
New for 2017, a Hybrid that doesn’t look like a Hybrid, and housed in a Crossover package that doesn’t look or act quite like a Crossover. It is more like an “un-Hybrid, non-Crossover.” Kia’s Niro Hybrid Utility Vehicle (HUV) combines driving enjoyment with eye-catching design, functional utility and hybrid efficiency.” I got 47.1 mpg with a 1.6-liter GDI four-cylinder engine and Lithium-Ion Polymer battery-powered 240-volt motor that provide 139hp and 195 lbs.-ft of torque.

No. 4 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage: A ton of fun at 74 hp -- $18,775.
Mirage has returned with a fresh new look thanks to a revamped front fascia with chrome upper/lower grille; new hood design; LED tail lamps; rear spoiler; color-keyed front and rear bumpers. Augmented aerodynamics inside connectivity and tech abounds. Powered by a 1.2-liter MIVEC DOHC, 12-valve Inline 3-cylinder engine, the fuel-efficient system produces 78 hp and 74 lbs.-ft. and delivered 39.7mpg.

No. 5 Chevrolet Malibu: Dependable mid-size packed with amenities -- $29,340.
In today’s world of demanding things you can depend on, Chevrolet’s Malibu fills that requirement and adds style and performance to the mix. Malibu’s 1.5-liter liter I-4 turbo hums out 163 hp and 184 lbs.-ft of torque and averaged 29.3mpg in mixed-use testing. While it was not muscle-car brawny, it was solid as a family car.

No. 6 Chrysler 200: style meets performance in mid-size sedan -- $29,985.
Chrysler has positioned its 2017 200 as an elegant vehicle that exceeds expectations for a mid-size car. Delivering a thoughtful, well-crafted interior, my test 200 was powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that delivered 295 hp and 262 lbs.-ft. of torque and averaged 22.0mpg. Steady around town, on the interstate and on the track, the AWD vehicle was confident in all conditions.

No. 7 Dodge Charger R/T: 50 years of muscle and style -- $38,620.
The Dodge Charger R/T trim was first offered 50 years ago. For 2017, Charger turns heads with its bold muscle look and wide body. The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 that powered my R/T galloped out 370 horses and 395 lbs.-ft. of torque, and my mixed-use tests that included some tire smoking as well as long interstate treks, averaged 23.1mpg. Passing at speed was pie-easy and on the track, my R/T blazed a 5.9-second zero-to-60 dash.

No. 8 Infiniti QX30: Compact luxury Crossover is elegant -- $36,110.
The all-new Infiniti QX30 premium active crossover was created for a new generation of premium buyers who appreciate category-defying design inside and out. The new QX30 shows off elegant design cues, a highly sculpted exterior, unique crossover stance and asymmetric cabin design. The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged unit is rated at 208 hp, with peak torque of 258 lbs.-ft. and gets 29.1 mpg.

No. 9 Volkswagen Jetta: Downsized econo-car is sporty and quick -- $30,327.
Volkswagen’s best-selling car had been offered in sedan and hatchback configurations, but is now only presented as a sedan. That design downsize doesn’t compromise Jetta’s range that starts as a stylish econo-car and tops off as a sporty and quick performance compact. The 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged/intercooled engine that powered my Jetta GLI test ride, hummed out 210hp and 207 lbs.-ft. and averaged 25.9mpg.

No. 10 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF: Roadster adds a power-folding roof -- $34,700.
This simple, fun-focused aggressively priced roadster features a new roof design with flying buttress elements behind the seats which remain even when the roof is open. MX-5 power comes from a 2.0.-liter DOHC 16-valve in-line 4 VVT multi-port electronic fuel injection engine that gets 155hp and 148 lbs.-ft. of torque, and averaged 30.0mpg.

Next week, we present our annual CAR of THE YEAR list… and you may see several of these great rides again.

The Buick Regal enjoyed a 31-year-reign as a classy, quiet, upscale sedan, ending its production run in 2004. Reintroduced to North America in 2011 (production and sales have been ongoing in China since 1999), a new-generation model is due out for 2018. But within this incarnation, Regal, based on the European-market Opel Insignia, upgraded with a mid-generation tweaking in 2014 that added sportiness, expressiveness and advanced tech to the Buick Regal GS. For 2017, Buick has added Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and has increased its exterior palette with Graphite Gray Metallic, Black Cherry Metallic, Pepperdust Metallic.

The Regal GS I tested boasts of an upscale Euro-style interior, aggressive design cues, and state-of-the-art tech features while continuing to enforce its legacy of reliable quiet comfort and road worthiness.

The 2017 Regal is available in five retail trim levels: Regal 1SV; Sport Touring; Regal; Premium II and GS. Standard features on all models include such safety items as six air bags, including side curtain air bags; StabiliTrak electronic stability control with full-function traction control and four-wheel anti-lock brakes with Intelligent Brake Assist

Standard tech items include: OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with Wi-Fi hotspot (includes three-month/3GB data trial); eight-inch color touch screen radio with Buick IntelliLink, AM/FM/Sirius XM (three months of service); stereo with CD player and auxiliary input jack; USB ports; Bluetooth wireless connectivity for select phones; and rear-vision camera system.

Also standard are cruise control, power windows with driver and front passenger express up/down, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-appointed seating, heated driver and passenger front seats, 12-way power driver’s seat, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, electric parking brake and Ice Blue ambient lighting.

The four-door, five-passenger front engine midsize sedan comes in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Its architecture conveys a low, wide stance and an upscale ambience. Prominent, sweptback headlamps are available in halogen projector beams and Xenon high-intensity discharge. At the rear, LED wing-shape taillamps with chrome accents enhance Regal’s elegant styling.

GS models are distinguished by unique front and rear fascias, exclusive 19-inch wheels (20-inch wheels available) and a lowered ride height. Eighteen-inch wheels are standard on all other models.

Built in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, the midsize sedan is constructed with a steel body frame integral (unibody) with front and rear crumple zones; galvanized steel front fenders, hood, roof, door panels, one-piece bodyside outer panel and thermal plastic olefin bumper fascias. The Buick Regal GS measures 190.2 inches in length, 73.1 inches in width, and 58.4 inches in height on a 107.8-inch wheelbase, with a curbweight of 3725 lbs.

Regal is available with two engine offerings. Its 1SV trim comes with a 2.4-liter engine, rated at 182 horsepower and 172 lbs-ft of torque, and is EPA rated at 25mpg in the city and 36mpg on the highway in FWD. My test GS trim was powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine rated at 259 horsepower and 295 lbs-ft of torque. This system is EPA rated at 19/27 for AWD automatic. My week of mixed-use tests (though most of my driving was on Interstates) achieved an average of 24.1mpg on unleaded, though premium fuel is recommended (not required).

My GS accelerated slowly. But had plenty of passing power at speed. A zero-to-60mph sprint took 7.3 seconds, and the quarter-mile was accomplished in 15.8.

Steering was responsive, and the ride was confident. Regal’s HiPer Strut front suspension and four-link independent rear with all-speed traction control using engine torque reduction and brake intervention made for a very smooth and attentive experience.

Inside, Regal blends sculptural beauty and refinement with technology. The instrument panel center stack is designed for easy operation with intuitive controls and smartphone-influenced swipe recognition for easier navigation. Headroom is a bit tight at 38.8 inches in front and 36.8 inches in row two; legroom is an accommodating 42.1 inches in row one and 37.3 for the second seat and shoulder room is 56.7 and 54.4.

The 2017 Buick Regal Base model 1SV starts at $26,865 plus destination and continues through five trims: Sport Touring at $28,615; Regal at $31,465; Premium II at $34,0405 and the top-of-the-line Regal GS starting at $36,540 (all plus destination charges) with AWD, the 2.0-liter turbo engine and automatic transmission, and coming standard with GS-specific front and rear fascia, rockers and rear spoiler; 19-inch V-spoke alloy wheels; GS-Sport seats and steering wheel; Brembo front brakes, HiPer Strut front suspension, Buick® IntelliLink® audio system with Navigation; Parking Assist front and rear; and interactive drive control with standard, Sport or GS mode.

Exterior colors are extra for some reason and Crimson Red Tintcocat cost $495 and was coupled with an Ebony interior with leather-appointed seats. Driver Confidence I package added $1040 for Side Blind Zone Alert with Lane Change Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator and Driver memory seat, Driver Confidence II package added $1195 for Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Automatic Braking The power moonroof added $1000; side window air deflector added $89; front and rear premium all-weather floor mats were $100 and destination freight charges of $925, for a sticker price as tested of $41,195, but with a new model coming next year, you might be able to get a discount deal from the dealer.

The Toyota Tacoma was launched in America in 1995, and was classified as a compact pick-up through 2004. The second generation was classified as mid-size, and following a full redesign for 2016, the third-generation 2017 Toyota Tacoma remains the No.5-selling truck in America so far, this year – a position it has held for several years.

Mostly standing pat after last year’s revise, the most significant changes for Tacoma in 2017 involve the new TRD Pro Off-Road model with a specialized off-road suspension including Fox internal bypass shocks, special 16-inch TRD black alloy wheels, a TRD Pro front skid plate, and Rigid Industries LED fog lights, and generous TRD Pro badging throughout. Elsewhere along the line-up, SR5 models get a new appearance package, standard on V-6 models and optional on four-cylinder models.

My test Tacoma, in Limited trim, came loaded with such standard items as a deck rail system, color-keyed bumper, overfenders and chrome-accented door handles, front dual automatic climate control, leather-trimmed seats and leather shift lever and tilt/telescopic steering wheel, 18-inch polished alloy wheels, power tilt/slide moonroof, power sliding rear window and power outside mirrors with turn signal indicators. Also standard on Limited, are cruise control, Smart key system with push button start, rear sonar parking assist, blind spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert, Entube™ Premium JBL Audio with Integrated Navigation and App Suite, Qi-Compatible Smartphone charging, and lots more.

While the Tacoma does not offer a regular cab, it does come in Access Cab (an extended cab with rear-hinged rear doors) and Double Cab (crew cab with conventional rear doors configurations. Tacoma Access Cab and Double Cab models are built on a 127.4-inch wheelbase with a 60.3-inch bed, or a 73.7-inch bed on a 140.6-inch wheelbase. My test Tacoma was the base 4x4 with an Access Cab, and it measured 212.3 inches long, 74.4 inches wide and 70.6 inches high with 9.4 inches of ground clearance. My test truck weighed in at 4305 lbs. and had a tow rating of 3500 lbs. (an optional tow package is rated at 6,500 lbs.).

Tacoma offers brawn or economy with two engine options. The more economical engine is the 2.7-liter inline 4-cylinder, DOHC 16-valve cast iron block system with aluminum alloy head and VVT-i. With the 2WD 5-speed manual, it is EPA rated at 19mg/city and 23mpg/highway, and the 4WD manual is estimated at 19/21 (the 6-speed automatic gets an 19/23 estimate). The inline-4 provides 159 hp and 180 lbs-ft of torque.

My test Tacoma 4x4 automatic was powered by the larger aluminum block 3.5-liter Direct and Port Injection, Atkinson Cycle V-6 engine with Variable Valve Timing-Intelligent Wider Intake and Variable Valve Timing-Intelligent Exhaust. EPA rated at 18/23 for 4WD automatic, I averaged 19.9mpg in mixed-use driving. The electronic fuel-injected system is good for 278 hp and 265 lbs-ft of torque. I found the Tacoma willing to transport heavy loads and it was quick-for-niche on the highway and the track, with a dash from zero to 60mph in 8 seconds-flat and a quarter-mile accomplished in 16.3.

Tacoma’s coil spring independent double wishbone front suspension with leaf spring rear suspension with staggered outboard mounted gas shocks were firm on the road and capable for soft off-road adventures. Rack-and-pinion power steering is better at slow speeds than high-speeds and can be non-intuitive at times.

With seating capacity for two up front and two in the Access Cab, Tacoma provides 39.7 inches of headroom in row one and 34.9 in the Cab, 42.9 inches of first row legroom, and a very tight 24.6 inches in the row two. Shoulder room measures 58.8 inches on front with 56.5 for the rear passengers. The Double Cab provides 32.6 inches of second row legroom.

The well-equipped Tacoma features standard air conditioning; power windows and door locks; center console; digital clock; two instrument panel power points with a lighter; a high-resolution 3.3-inch display; temperature gauge; vanity lamps on the sun visors; dome lamp; a full-size spare tire and Entune™ Audio.

Side-impact door beams in all doors starts Tacoma’s attention to safety, augmented by Toyota’s Star Safety System™, which includes Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, an Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, and Smart Stop brake override technology. Every Tacoma has standard front seat-mounted side airbags, roll-sensing side curtain airbags (including a cutoff switch), and a front advanced dual-stage airbag system.

Toyota offers a mind-blowing 31 different 2017 Tacoma trim setups in 4x4, TRD, SR5, SR and Limited in Access Cab, Double Cab and Sport Double Cab configurations. The base Tacoma SR with Access Cab starts at $24,575; SR5 starts at $29,155; TRD Sport at $32,195; TRD Off-Road at $32,195 and TRD Pro at $41,215. My test Tacoma in Limited trim started at $39,250 with the 3.5-liter engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, a Double Cab and Short bed.

My test Tacoma in Black with a Hickory Leather interior added Black, 5-9nch oval tube steps (running board) for $469; all-weather floor liners and door sill protectors added $209; a bed mat was $120; a very useful BedStep for easy access to the inside of the bed added $300; and delivery and processing added $995, for a price-as-tested of $41,993.

Based on the nostalgic military Willys Jeep of 1941, the Jeep Wrangler has been an off-road enthusiasts’ pleaser since 1986. A compact four-wheel-drive multi-purpose vehicle, Wrangler debuted in 1986 as a revision of the Jeep CJ-7, was revised in 1996, and completely redesigned in 2006.

During that time, Wrangler has been presented in numerous trims, models and cosmetics with such badge names as: Islander 1988-’93; Renegade 1991-’94; Sahara 1997-2004 (and back again); Apex 2002-’03; and other variations including Columbia, Freedom, Golden Eagle, Rocky Mountain, TJ, Unlimited and the Rubicon Tomb Raider in 2003.

But one of the more popular end enduring treatments has been the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, which debuted 14 years ago. In the 2003 model year, Jeep raised the bar in off-road capability with the introduction of the Wrangler Rubicon model. Named after one of the most grueling off-road trails in the world, the Rubicon models were the most extreme Wranglers produced.

New for 2017, Jeep® Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited models receive new LED headlights and fog lamps -- optional on Sport and Sport S and standard on Sahara and Rubicon models; the Cold Weather Group is now available on Sport S and Rubicon models and includes: 17-inch BF Goodrich KO2 tires, engine block heater and all-weather slush mats; and three new colors are available: Chief (Blue), Acid Yellow and Gobi (Beige).

The two-door sport utility vehicle is assembled at Jeep’s Toledo Supplier Park in Toledo, OH, with a longitudinal front engine four-wheel-drive layout. Jeep Wrangler’s signature features include: classic round headlamps, seven-slot grille, trapezoid wheel flares, removable doors, exposed hinges, a fold-down windshield and innovative removable tops and half doors that allow the Wrangler to retain the brand’s iconic appearance and function

Built on a ladder frame chassis, Wrangler is designed to be off-road tough and on-highway smooth, melding old-school looks and toughness with current-day hipness and technology. My test Rubicon model weighed in at a stout 4104 lbs. for the manual transmission and 4129 lbs. in automatic configuration. It was engineered for stability with a length of 164.3 inches, height of 72.5 inches and width of 73.7 inches on a wheelbase 95.4 inches.

Rubicon powers up with a Chrysler Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine with sequential multiport fuel injection. Rated at 285 horsepower and 260 lbs-ft of torque, and coupled with either a standard 6-speed overdrive NSG Manual transmission, or the 5-speed automatic that powered up my test Jeep, the system delivers when called upon for passing acceleration and off-road rock strength. Off the line, my test Jeep delivered an 8.9-second zero-to-60 sprint and a 16.9-second quarter-mile. EPA rated at 17/city and 21/highway, my week of tests, including some off-road travails yielded an average of 18.8mpg.

Off road, Rubicon successfully conquered any challenge I gave it. On macadam, its short wheelbase and big tires gave up bumps and bounces. It is as confident on gravel at low speed as it is timid at high-speed. Steering is responsive both on-road and off, for a pleasant driving experience minus some tire whine.

Rubicon seats four and offers 41.3 inches of front headroom and 40.3 in the rear. Legroom is 41.0 up front and 35.6 in row two, and shoulder room is 55.8 and 44.7. Included inside are such amenities as remote keyless entry, power windows with front one-touch-down feature, leather-wrapped steering wheel, deep tint sunscreen windows, power door locks, and up-level connectivity.

Paying attention to safety, Rubicon’s sport bar uses high-strength steel and is integrated into the B-Pillar that runs into the floor. This improves side-impact performance, vehicle stiffness, torsional rigidity and control at highway speeds. Additional features include advanced multistage front airbags and off-road tested emergency brake system.

Jeep Wranglers are available in 13 trims for 2017 – though Jeep likes to promote that they have four distinct, separate models. The Sport S bases at $26,995, Sport at $24,595, Sahara at $27,895, Willys Wheeler at $28,295, Big Bear at $28,695, and through 7 other trims, topping off with the Rubicon Recon at $39,145. My test Rubicon was eighth on the list, sandwiched between the Sahara and the Smoky Mountain, and based at $33,645 for a two-door and a manual engine. My test ride was a four-door, so it based at $37,445. The upgrade to the 5-speed automatic transmission added $1400; the Connectivity Group Package added $695 for an electronic vehicle information center, Uconnect® Voice Command with Bluetooth®, tire pressure monitoring display and remote USB port; the Cold Weather Group added $1095 for heated front seats, remote start, all-weather slush mats and an engine block heater; the soft top was replaced with a Freedom Top® Black 3-Piece Hard Top for $995; the Radio 430N interior option was added for $1195, and included a 6.5-Inch Touchscreen for Displaying Music Info and Uploaded Pictures, 40GB HDD and Garmin Navigation. A 9-speaker and subwoofer Alpine® Premium system was also added for $995. Also, air conditioning with automatic temperature control, air filtering and a humidity sensor were added for $395. For safety, supplemental front seat-mounted airbags that provide additional pelvic and thoracic protection for front seat occupants were added for $495 – my opinion is that this should have been standard and not an option.

With destination charges of $195, the sticker-as-tested was $45,755.

The Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation (CMAF), an organization in place since 2004 designed to combat Amyloidosis, is proud to announce that now through January 2, 2018, it has partnered with Subaru’s “Share the Love” campaign to help raise awareness and money for Amyloidosis.

The campaign is based on the belief by Subaru and its retailers that together, they can make the world a better place. The Subaru “Share the Love” campaign is Subaru’s vision of respecting all people and it’s their commitment to show love and respect to their customers, all while working to make a positive impact on the world! Each year the company joins hands with its car owners to give back to a community that given so much to them. In doing so, the organizations that Subaru supports have one thing in common, a dedication to improve the world and the lives of its people.

That goal ties in perfectly with the CMAF. Founded in 2004 following the passing of National Corvette Hall of Famer and Corvette enthusiast Elliott “Chip” Miller, the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation exists to raise money and awareness to combat Amyloidosis. What is Amyloidosis? Amyloidosis occurs when enough abnormal protein, called amyloid, builds up in one or more organs to cause a malfunction. As an abnormal protein, amyloid originates in bone marrow. The heart, kidneys, nervous system and gastrointestinal tract are most often affected by the disease. In all, this disease took Miller’s life and affects over 4,000 people each year in the United States alone.

By partnering with the campaign and Subaru, car lovers who purchase or lease a Subaru from Kerbeck Subaru of Pleasantville, New Jersey will see $250 from their purchase donated to the CMAF. Every donation counts and this opportunity to donate coincides with the “Share the Love” campaign’s end date of January 2. With dealerships around the country offering specials and amazing deals on sales now through the end of the year, this is THE time to visit Kerbeck Subaru for your next ride and help a great cause too.

The CMAF is just one of many great organizations taking donations via this program, but for Lance Miller, son of the late Chip Miller and President of the CMAF, it’s near and dear to him.

“Kerbeck Subaru’s generosity in helping our small organization fulfill its mission is priceless,” noted Miller. “My father was my best friend, mentor and wonderful father figure. His loss was tragic to my family and his friends; however, knowing he’s still making an impact today brings us all great joy,” continued Miller. With Kerbeck Subaru’s help, we’re thankful to continue making an impact by spreading the word and raising money regarding this terrible disease that took my best friend’s life. It allows us to help others afflicted with this terrible disease. I’m grateful for everyone’s support!”
