From Hyundais and Fords to Bentleys and Ferraris, we drive everything. We rack up several thousand miles on more than 100 cars and trucks in a single year. And we do it all right here in New England, arguably the country’s toughest environment for any new vehicle.

The following 10 cars span a wide range of prices and vehicle segments, but all carry the same core traits: excellent performance, quality construction, fine details, and most of all, solid value. If you’re in the market for a new car in 2012, add these vehicles to your short list.
