5 cars to fulfill your New Year's resolution

A New Year's resolution is never easy to keep. But at least one of these is likely to be on someone's list -- and all but forgotten in short order within days or weeks of making it. Perhaps a new car can help you fulfill yours.

Bankrate has carefully chosen five cars that will get you on the road to keeping the top New Year's resolutions, selected by Time magazine. They include losing weight, saving money, spending more time with family, volunteering to help in the community and traveling to new places.

The year 2012 may be the year you turn the corner in a new car as well as fulfill a New Year's resolution that has eluded you for years.
