Chevrolet Scores with the Top Two Best Cars Under $25,000

VALPARAISO, Ind. - May 10, 2013 - PRLog -- The list of the Best Cars of 2013 priced under $25,000 was recently released by Consumer Reports, with the Chevrolet Cruze 1LT and the Chevrolet Sonic LT claiming first and second place honors. For the folks at Team Chevrolet, a premier Chevrolet dealership in Valparaiso, Indiana (http://www.teamchevyinc.com/Welcome), this announcement is seen as yet another confirmation of Chevy’s commitment to producing attractive, dependable, and  efficient vehicles at an affordable price.

The Chevrolet Cruze 1LT, which is number one on the Consumer Reports list, is a high quality small sedan that comes with an MSRP of only $21,030. With smart and sporty styling, a well-crafted interior, lively driving dynamics, and an impressive array of standard features, including Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a trip computer, it has become one of the most popular vehicles in its class.

The 2013 edition is powered by an efficient turbocharged 1.4L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 138 hp with 148 lb-ft of torque. The front-wheel drive Cruze comes with a standard 6-speed manual transmission, with a 6-speed automatic transmission an available option.

The 2013 Sonic LT is a fun-to-drive subcompact available as a sedan or a 4-door hatchback. With a terrific list of standard features including all of the latest bells and whistles, a surprisingly roomy and comfortable interior, and the same snappy turbocharged 1.4L engine, standard 6-speed manual transmission, and available 6-speed automatic as the Cruze, it is a steal at $17,455.

Building attractive, fuel-efficient, and affordable cars is something that Chevrolet has learned to do very well. As this recognition from Consumer Reports shows, one would be hard-pressed to find a so-called economy car with the same long list of features, intelligent design, and competent performance capabilities offered with the Cruze and the Sonic.

Consumer Reports is the most well-respected source for independent data on a wide range of products and services. In compiling their list of The Best Cars Under $25,000, they took into consideration reliability and safety as well as price, in order to determine the best overall value.
Those interested in learning more about either or both of these excellent small cars are encouraged to visit Team Chevrolet.
