Workers across the country deal with a myriad of commutes; ranging from the short yet traffic-congested, to the calm yet lengthy. With people in the U.S. spending an average of just over 52 minutes a day commuting to work, investing in a car that best suits your trip is a wise decision.

CarGurus, a car research and shopping website, recently released its Top Cars for Your Commute map, with location-specific car recommendations based on a metro region's specific commuting conditions; whether that be the hilly roads of the Pacific Northwest or the often snowy streets of the Northeast.
