Best Bet

Seven models, including the Optima (Magentis), Rio, Rondo (Carens), Sedona (Carnival), Sorento, Spectra and Spectra5 (Cerato 4 and 5-door) achieved The Car Book “Best Bet” distinction based on cars that have ratings in all of the key Car Book categories -- safety features, fuel economy, rollover, overall maintenance and repair costs, warranties, insurance costs, and complaints, with the greatest emphasis placed on crash test performance and complaints. Rio and Optima have received the award for the third consecutive year, while it was the Spectra, Spectra5 and Sorento second win in a row.
