2017 Fiat 124 Spider Sporty Performance Car Best Buy Award

NOV. 15, 2016, Auburn Hills, Mich. – The automotive editors at Consumer Guide® Automotive awarded five FCA US LLC vehicles the 2017 Best Buy distinction.

In its inaugural year, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica captures both the Minivan and Family Vehicle Best Buy Awards. Another first-time entrant – the Fiat 124 Spider – also takes home a Best Buy Award, this one in the Sporty Performance Car category.

“We congratulate FCA for introducing two new products worthy of 2017 Consumer Guide® Best Buy recognition. The all-new family-friendly Chrysler Pacifica caps years of minivan evolution and refinement, and the Fiat 124 represents an impressive amount of fun for the money,” said Tom Appel, Publisher of Consumer Guide Automotive. “Consumer Guide Automotive editors thoroughly evaluate more than 150 new cars, trucks, minivans and SUVs sold in America and select the top ones in each class as Best Buys.”

Consumer Guide Automotive editors analyze, compare and evaluate numerous vehicles by extensively testing all major models available in the United States. According to Consumer Guide Automotive, a vehicle does not become a Best Buy based solely on objective ratings; Best Buys also distinguish themselves as good values compared to other vehicles in their class.
