One of the greatest joys for a car company comes in the form of awards received for their implementation of safety measures. Every single model, including the Mazda 3, deserves kudos for its safety features, such as unique headlights and front-impact crash prevention equipment. The year has not even ended and the Mazda 3 has already added a number of awards under its belt, especially owing to its price. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety awarded the Mazda 3 a Top Safety Pick Plus rating in July 2017. This is one of the few full-line automakers that can boast of such an honor! Not only legitimate examiners but also magazines have reached such a consensus on the trustworthiness of Mazda 3’s price. Parents magazine and Edmunds deeply appreciate the wonderful combination of performance, family-friendly features, safety measures, and value that have come through in the Mazda CX-5’s exterior, interior, and engine. This is not all, Autobytel has awarded four Buyer’s Choice awards to the North American side of Mazda’s operations already! This reward has only substantiated the theory put forth by America’s Car Book that Mazda deserves the 2017 Best Bets distinction. The Car Book, which is a consumer automobile-buying guide, has already completed 37 years of its existence.

Pickup trucks have become very popular across the country. These vehicles come with some amazing towing and hauling capabilities, all thanks to their powerful engines. The cherry on the top is the fact that pickup trucks are budget-friendly and there is a huge list of good trucks from which you get to choose. If you are planning to buy a pickup truck for your business, all you need to do is browse the Internet for “trucking companies near me” and you will get a list of companies that make and sell high-end trucks of different capacities. Following are the top three trucks of 2017. Honda Ridgeline This was one of the top selling trucks of 2017 and the company hopes to achieve the same in 2018 as well. This pickup truck costs around $29,475. It is as an all-purpose truck and boasts of high-quality interiors, comfortable riding experiences, and an upper-end performance.

When you are investing your hard-earned money in buying a new car, you naturally need a cover that will provide you with a guarantee that in case of any damage within a certain period, your vehicle will be protected. This cover is considered as your car warranty. It has, however, been observed that a newer car usually has a higher warranty period than an old or a pre-owned one. Normally, a car warranty covers a bumper-to-bumper warranty, which includes air-conditioning, electrical components, and everything else that is in the car. Manufacturers give a warranty cover for three years and around 36,000 miles; however, this will differ as per manufacturers. If any damage or malfunction occurs during the said period, the manufacturer will replace the part or even the vehicle without any cost. Now the question arises as to which brand and make of a car gives the best warranty. Car warranties are generally divided into two categories—manufacturer’s warranties and extended warranties. Manufacturer’s warranty is issued by the maker of a car and covers a certain part for a specific period of time. Top-end car manufacturers like Mitsubishi offer around five years and 60,000 miles bumper-to-bumper warranty. Korean manufacturers such as Hyundai and Kia offer around five years and 60,000 miles with a seven-year corrosion warranty and a five-year unlimited mileage roadside assistance.

Do you want to buy a new car? Then you must have already planned for it. However, did you plan about what has to be done with the used car or your old car? Are you not sure about what has to be done? All you can do is just sell it off, but how long will it take? If you want to sell it off immediately, then car trading can be the right choice. You can meet a used car dealer, get the car trade value from the dealer, and then sell it off. However, there are certain things that you need to do so that you will be able to take a lot in your pocket. Here is what you can do to get the best car trade value: If you have a car wash or service center near your place, then you can take the car for a quick clean up. This will help you improve the outer look of the car. It is the first thing that is going to attract the customers or the dealer. You should also get a wax coat done for the car. This is going to make the car look a little more attractive after the car wash is done.

If you are still apprehensive about ‘control’, you will be glad to know that the 2017 Jeep Cherokee and every other jeep, has a speed traction control in place. Other salient features are the ABS (anti-lock braking system) and the ESP (electronic stability program). They come into play when you find yourself having to push the brake suddenly. However, even this sudden braking takes place in a stabilized and fully controlled manner. Multiple airbags come into play, in case of an accidental collision.

Whether you intend on driving a specific car or truck but the budget set is not in your favor, automobile companies are now making such wishes come true. Through the feature of leasing cars and trucks, you can now drive the car or truck that will get your task done immediately. The availability of vehicles on a lease has slowly changed the market trend and has even affected the residual values of all types of vehicles. Most companies dealing with different types of vehicles have agreed that availing vehicles on the basis of a lease have introduced a big change in the market today. Pickup trucks are generally priced between $30,000 and $40,000; however, such pickup trucks are leased at different rates with a varied amount charged during the signing. Chevrolet is one of the popular pickup truck companies that are preferred in the construction, service, and other industries. The company offers great lease options on Chevy trucks as well. It has kept the residual values higher due to the higher requirements. For most companies, the work a manager would have is to not only oversee the sale of the vehicles or to meet the clients but to also introduce lease deals to various dealers and the other staff members and clients.
