The
Chicago Tribune reports that Cars.com has identified its
Best Bets For 2012 Models that
". . . include any vehicle you can be confident in buying. We have four criteria in determining which cars to recommend:
The car must get average or better fuel economy for its segment
The car must have average or better reliability
The car must get average or better scores in crash tests (although we do have some exceptions for low-volume models that are not crash-tested)
And Cars.com's editors must endorse the car as well."
Two vehicles recommended in the Compact SUV and Crossover category are the MINI Countryman and the Countryman S.
