What Are The Most Reliable Used Cars?
Deciding on which makes and models of cars are the most reliable can be a challenge. The information is out there, but it is not always consistent nor reliable.
In the research, I stuck with companies with opinions that you would expect to be unbiased. Consumer Reports, Kiplingers, AutoByTel, and Edmonds were the top 4 of the many sources used.
Less than a handful of the vehicles appeared in 2/3 of the lists within the last year:
Honda CRV
Kia Soul
Mazda 3
A few more appeared in 1/2 of the lists:
Acura TL
Honda Accord
Hyundai Sonata
Toyota Rav 4
To be honest, you can’t go wrong with any of these cars. It all depends on how many kids you have, your personal needs, and your budget.
Some of the articles listed the top 10 or 15 models. Some had the top 3 in specific categories and price ranges. The vehicle models that appeared the most in the overall top 5 of many of these articles include:
Mazda 3
Honda Accord
Acura TL
Kia Soul
