2011 Grand Cherokee costs about $30,215

2011 Lotus Evora – $74,675

Lightning-fast handling is second nature to lovely Lotus, and the Evora is purported to have a near-telepathic connection with the road. This high-performance sports car delivers in both cornering and comfort with the kind of suspension of which the average driver (with an average budget) can only dream.

Pay around $18,195 for the 2011 Sonata

The Value Award from Popular Mechanics' went to the 2011 Sonata as it is the MVP. This luxury looking car has a 10-year, 100,000 miles warranty. It also gets 30 mpg with its 274 hp. You aren't paying too much for this luxury car. It even has many benefits to go with it.

Pay $25,270 for the 2011 Sienna

Behind the third row seat, there is 39.1 cubic feet of cargo space in this minivan. The second row slides and folds when the 3rd row can fold flat so whatever load you have to carry can fit. Also, up to 3,500 pounds could be towed. Any person with a budget in mind will like that this gets 24 mpg with its 2.7-liter, four-cylinder, six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is the cherry on the sundae.
