The Motorist Choice Awards were designed by AutoPacific and IntelliChoice.com to recognize the cars that delivered both the highest customer satisfaction and the lowest cost of ownership.

The Motorist Choice Awards take AutoPacific’s owner satisfaction data from new car and truck buyers and combine those data with IntelliChoice.com’s rating methodology to create a new kind of award that speaks to both the hearts and wallets of car buyers.
