Edmunds recommends the best vehicles for achieving your New Year's resolutions

Most of us struggle with making those New Year’s resolutions stick

Many of us will renew our vows to self-improvement in the form of New Year’s resolutions. For many of us, those commitments will unravel before summer. But if buying a new car is in your plans, why not tie it to a goal to last all year? There may be no better motivation than a daily reminder — your car — to stick to your resolution. Whether you want to venture deeper into your local wild lands or just check out more happenings in town, the car experts at Edmunds have suggestions for cars that can help make those promises stick. All the prices below include destination and handling.

Everyone’s favorite New Year’s resolution is also the quickest one to fall off. But with a workout partner like the Toyota GR Corolla, you’re more likely to stick with your goals all year. You recognize the Corolla name, no doubt. But the GR Corolla is what results when the standard model has been in the gym, setting personal bests in the deadlift and bench press.

The GR Corolla takes the regular Corolla hatchback and hops it up with 300 horsepower. That’s a massive 131-horsepower boost from the regular Corolla hatchback. It also comes with a performance-tuned all-wheel-drive system and a standard six-speed manual transmission. And with 0-60 mph acceleration in just 5 seconds, you’ll get there quick.

Starting price: $37,195

We all yearn to shake off the chains of our ordered lives, and there are few better ways to get off the beaten path than with a Ford Bronco. This capable off-roader can be had with knobby all-terrain tires and a high ground clearance to set you up for trips to the mountains, deserts and beaches. You can also remove the doors and roof to get an unobstructed view of nature.
