The group compared the 100 largest cities in the country across 30 different indicators to figure out the best cities to drive in. Detroit came in dead last at 100.

Detroit had an overall score of 37.40, and came in 81st for cost of ownership and maintenance, 94th in traffic and infrastructure, 100th for safety and 45th for access to vehicles & maintenance.

As for the best city to drive in, that's Raleigh, N.C., according to the study, followed by Orlando, Lincoln, Neb., Tampa and Winston-Salem, N.C.
