#kbbdads

A few months ago I joined a few other dads at Kelley Blue Book HW to test drive and give our favorite picks for vehicles of the year. It was so cool to work with the folks at KBB.com, they have the best team to do what they do. Drive and review vehicles. I trust them, and that is why I am to say the winners are in and I 100% approve!

2017 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award Winners

Overall Winner: 2017 Honda Civic

Today’s compact cars are roomier, safer, more comfortable and tech-savvier than ever, and the recently redesigned Honda Civic is the undisputed king of the category.  Boldly styled, famously refined, supremely efficient, satisfying to drive, comfortable and loaded with appealing features, the Honda Civic is the first vehicle to be named our Overall Best Buy two years in a row.

Small Car: 2017 Honda Civic

The Honda Civic’s current run of Best Buy recognition spans two generations and now three model years.  Last year’s redesign earned it both a Best Buy Award and the top spot on our list of favorite new cars of the year, and it remains just as impressive and dominant in its second model year.

2017 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award Winners

Mid-Size Car: 2017 Honda Accord

Honda’s famously dependable mid-size sedan is a resale value standout, keeping overall ownership costs low.  But the Accord also is satisfying to drive and thoroughly refined, qualifying it as a well-rounded package and earning it a second Best Buy Award.

Full-Size Car: 2017 Chevrolet Impala

The Chevy Impala remains as roomy, comfortable and value-oriented as you might expect.  But it’s also a design and tech standout, mixing stylish sheetmetal with an attractive interior and an impressive list of in-car technologies including Apple CarPlay and wireless phone charging.  A strong combination of purchase price and resale value help it win its third Best Buy Award in as many years.

2017 Audi A4

Luxury Car: 2017 Audi A4

The totally redesigned Audi A4 claims this year’s Luxury Car Best Buy title with an elevated mix of tastefully modern exterior and interior styling, advanced but friendly technologies, excellent driving dynamics and lower overall ownership costs than some key competitors.

Sports/Performance Car: 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster

With a newfound emphasis on fuel economy, connectivity and everyday usability, the revamped 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster has effectively broadened its appeal while retaining the world-class dynamism for which the nameplate is renowned.

Electric/Hybrid: 2017 Toyota Prius Prime

The Prius lineup expands again for 2017, this time with a distinctly styled and outfitted plug-in model that delivers 25 miles of pure electric range, 640 miles of total full-charge/full-tank range, and a 133 MPGe rating that’s the highest of any electric car of any sort currently available.  Combined with the lineup’s well-documented history of reliability and low ownership costs, the Toyota Prius Prime wins our Electric/Hybrid Best Buy of 2017.

Small SUV/Crossover: 2017 Kia Sportage

Kia’s class-leading warranty coverage remains, but everything else about the Kia Sportage is all-new for 2017.  Its Best Buy Award-winning strengths include the bold face and sleek rear end, attractive and functional cockpit, roomy rear seat and practical cargo area.

2017 Kia Niro

Mid-Size SUV/Crossover: 2017 Honda Pilot

Fresh off a complete redesign last year, the newest Honda Pilot has it all – including its second Best Buy trophy.  It’s not only the roomiest and most practical SUV in the segment, it’s also comfortable, pleasant to drive and loaded with features that serve drivers and passengers alike.

Full-Size SUV/Crossover: 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe

Offering a combination of style, comfort, economy and value that’s positively unmatched in market appeal, the Chevy Tahoe is the best-selling SUV in the segment and now a back-to-back-to-back Kelley Blue Book Best Buy for the third year running.

Luxury SUV/Crossover: 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC

One vehicle at a time, Mercedes-Benz continues to build its most appealing lineup in years.  The exterior designs are intrinsically appealing, while the interiors are as rich as ever but far more contemporary and desirable.  Class-leading safety and convenience technologies also are part of the story, as is the persistent prestige of the three-pointed star.  The GLC embodies every bit of the automaker’s rediscovered style and swagger.

Ford F-150 Cowboys

Truck: 2017 Ford F-150

Radically redesigned with an aluminum-intensive architecture two years ago, the Ford F-150 has been named our Pickup Truck Best Buy ever since.  Beneath the groundbreaking construction are a variety of advanced engines and transmissions, and a long list of clever features and appealing technologies.  This year it adds one more trophy to its growing collection with its third consecutive Best Buy Award.

Minivan: 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

Chrysler’s all-new Pacifica minivan doesn’t just replace the long-running Town & Country, it blends luxury and practicality like no other minivan before it.  Luxury-level dash design up front is complemented by rear quarters that offer all the utility you expect in a minivan, but with uncommon design sensibilities.  It’s also a pleasure to drive, helping it lock up a Best Buy Award in its first year on the market.

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
