Feb 06, 2009 -- Four-door sedans are a Clark Smart choice
Vehicles now present the best affordability, best quality and highest level of safety ever since Henry Ford first rolled out the Model T.
The global oversupply of manufacturing capacity in the automotive sector is mind-blowing. The manufacturers built far too many factories in far too many countries around the world. That creates a lot of opportunity for anyone looking to buy new.
One particularly sweet spot in the market is the four-door sedan. Clark knows this isn't the "sexy" choice, but it is a Clark Smart one. You can buy a fully equipped sedan for under $20,000. Keep in mind that sedans will typically deliver 30% to 50% better fuel economy than a comparable crossover SUV.
A recent check of Consumer Reports' online database suggests a number of choices that offer both great value and a high safety rating. These include Chevy Malibu, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata to name just a few.
