Dear Members,

Happy New Year! This is the time of year many of us will make resolutions to improve our health and happiness. You may resolve to set and stick to a budget.

What are the best vehicles out there for 2019? There are a lot to choose from, but as is always the case, it depends on what you need, what you want, and of course, what you can spend. Safety is always a good place to start. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Subaru Impreza, Acura TLX, and Kia Optima are the top rated 2019 sedans when it comes to safety. The Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Escape and Honda Pilot top the SUV list.
