Established in 2006, the Ideal Vehicle Awards recognize the cars that best meet their owners' expectations and desires about their automotive purchases. Surveying over 52,000 vehicle owners across the US, the IVAs are supposed to help customers make informed decisions.
The Ideal Vehicle Awards recognize vehicles where owners want the least amount of change across 15 key vehicle attributes including: exterior styling, exterior size, passenger roominess, cargo space, driver’s seat comfort, driver’s seat visibility, info/entertainment technology, interior lighting, power and acceleration, interior storage compartments, ride, handling, safety features and others.
“AutoPacific’s Ideal Vehicle Awards are very significant because they identify which automotive manufacturers listen best to their buyers when updating and developing their latest vehicles,” said George Peterson, President of AutoPacific.
This year, the Premium Compact Car Award went to the 2013 MINI Cooper Hardtop, as a recognition of the British company's extensive efforts to keep the MINI spirit alive and well, 50 years after the original car was launched.
