Description

Long known as the most consumer-oriented car buyer's guide, The Car Book 1999 has maintained the classic simplicity that for 18 years has led hundreds of thousands of car buyers to the best choice in new cars. While other car guides offer only manufacturers' specifications, The Car Book 1999 sifts through the claims, the facts, the specifications and, with unique performance measurements, evaluates this year's new cars and minivans. With the 1999 edition of The Car Book , Jack Gillis once again proves why he is America's most sought after consumer expert on cars. One-Page Reviews: tell you how a vehicle performs in areas you care about and how the car stacks up against the competition. Easy-to-Read Ratings: provides overall value, crash test, fuel economy, preventive maintenance, insurance costs, consumer satisfaction, and more. Safety Features: is an at-a-glance listing of today's key safety features including airbags, ABS, built-in child seats, and daytime running lights. Narrative Summaries: for each model highlighted what's new and offer you insightful advice. Jack Gillis' "Best Bets": America's favorite list of top-rated cars. Special Advice: on showroom strategies, avoiding lemons, the best warranties, selecting the best child safety seat, saving on insurance, and more. Forword: by Clarence M. Ditlow, Executive Director Center for Auto Safety
