Whether shopping for new or used cars in NJ, drivers should research their options before making a decision, as a vehicle is a major purchase. There are more resources available to motorists these days, and TrueCar.com recently released its latest Performance Scorecards. These monthly reviews assess automakers in a number of categories – including price, sales, incentives and brand loyalty.<\/p>\n

This month BMW<\/a>, General Motors, Mazda<\/a> and Volkswagen<\/a> had the most improvement over last month's scores. BMW came out on top of the list in general, with an A+ rating for brand as well as manufacturer. Fiat tied the German car company for first place by brand. Kia<\/a>, Audi<\/a> and Land Rover<\/a> rounded out the top five. The scorecard ratings only rank the top three manufacturers, and Subaru<\/a> and Jaguar<\/a> came in just behind BMW with A grades.<\/p>\n

On the other end of the spectrum, Volvo<\/a> took a turn for the worse. TrueCar.com also reports the lowest grades by manufacturer and brand. Volvo's manufacturer score dipped from a C to a D+, putting it in third place. However, the Swedish brand had the worst scorecard, with a D- rating.<\/p>\n

It is important to bear in mind that these scorecards are based upon new sales and more recent models. For example, Volvo has a reputation for producing safe, reliable vehicles that will last a long time. Drivers looking to get behind the wheel of a used Volvo or any other model can head to New Jersey State Auto<\/a> Auction. The dealer offers a variety of vehicles at affordable prices, and each car is CARFAX certified so consumers know they'll be driving away in a reliable ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
