Consumer Reports ranks top used cars for value

The Best Used Cars According to Consumer Reports

Are skyrocketing new car prices giving you sticker shock? Maybe it’s time to consider a used car instead. But navigating the used car market can be daunting. That’s where Consumer Reports comes in with its first-ever brand ranking for used cars. Let’s dive in and find the best, most reliable ride to fit your needs and budget.

While used car prices have somewhat decreased in the past year, most people still end up paying around $30,000 for a used vehicle. It’s crucial to make a choice that will last for the miles and years ahead.

Consumer Reports recently released its inaugural brand ranking for used cars to help buyers minimize the risk of encountering issues. The survey focused on vehicles from the 2014 to 2019 model years, essentially looking at five to 10-year-old vehicles and analyzing data from 150,000 vehicles collected in the survey.

Lexus and Toyota secured the top spots on the list of 26 brands, with Mazda following closely behind. Acura and Honda rounded out the top five brands. On the flip side, Tesla, Dodge, and Chrysler found themselves at the bottom of the list.

CR’s data has consistently shown that not every model year from even the most reliable brands is created equal. While brand reliability is a good starting point for research, focusing on the specific model and year you’re considering is crucial.

Consumer Reports named 10 used cars as its Top Picks, available exclusively for its members. For example, the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze is a great choice for under $10,000, and the 2018 Honda HR-V boasts top safety features. If you’re in the market for a pickup truck, the 2015 Toyota Tacoma offers the right balance between dependability and towing power.

Proper maintenance is key to ensuring a used car runs smoothly over the years. While buying from a private seller may seem like a bargain, CR’s survey results indicate that consumers who opt for certified pre-owned cars report fewer problems than those who purchase from other sources.
