5 cars to keep your New Year's resolutions

The start of 2013 means a new year to make resolutions. Most people never see theirs through to fruition, but what better way to help you keep it this year than a new car? After all, who wouldn't feel guilty knowing the only reason they are driving a new vehicle is because of the resolution they failed to fulfill.

Vowing to save more money this year? Then splurge on a fuel-efficient car that will cut down on your trips to the gas station. Looking to de-stress in 2013? Purchase a stress-free vehicle that takes the work out of parking and will alert you to obstructions in your blind spot. If taking a family road trip is on your resolution list, there's a vehicle for that. Whether you are longing for a cross-country vacation or an off-road adventure, there are several crossover vehicles that will get you there in comfort and style.

From saving money to spending more time with the family, here's a look at Bankrate's five cars that we think will keep reminding you of your 2013 New Year's resolutions.
