What's the best economy car in today's world of fluctuating fuel prices? How can you most efficiently and effectively haul your family and cargo around? Which off-road runabout is the most capable vehicle when tackling the road less traveled? The Edmunds.com staff has its opinion, but we'd also like to hear yours. So we're starting a new Consumers' Favorites opinion poll to learn which vehicles get your vote in a variety of categories. The category will change every month, so check back regularly to cast your vote in the current poll and see which vehicles won our previous surveys. Candidates for each survey will represent cars currently available in showrooms, regardless of model years (meaning many 2010s will already be eligible).

Would you go for the ride you can most realistically afford? The dream car that's just out of reach? Or the marque with prestige and history behind it?
