Despite the extreme volatility in pricing over the last few years, used cars are still an excellent way to save money on your next vehicle purchase. That said, the sweet feeling of getting a good deal on a used car can go sour pretty quickly when things start breaking and expensive maintenance bills pile up. Consumer Reports (CR) recently compiled a list of the best used car models, polling its members to determine the vehicles with the strongest reliability and other attributes, and some of the higher-ranked models might surprise you.

Study: These are the best models to buy used

Cars can be money pits, especially brand new ones that start losing value as soon as you drive them off the dealer lot. Buying a used car can save you a ton of money, but it can be risky, since you can’t always tell what condition it’s in and what you’ll soon need to pay to repair. But Consumer Reports is here to help with their first-ever ranking of the most reliable used cars.

12 Least Reliable Used Car Brands That Aren’t Worth the Money

When discussing the industry giant that is Toyota, much of the brand's praise stems from the storied reliability of its products. In 2024, the largest automotive company in the world is still managing to also make among the most reliable vehicles and engines available on the market.

Safety in cars has evolved significantly over the years; some would argue it is too safe, as the growth of safety features has resulted in more complex and expensive vehicles. Regardless, however, driven by advances in technology, research, and regulation, there's no cogent argument that society has not benefited greatly from the changes in car safety over the decades.

Disclaimer: I claim no expertise when it comes to just about anything. I'm just a dude that likes cars. Recently I wrote a series of short articles about the ten most reliable cars. In the comments I noticed that a lot of people complained that such and such a car wasn't included when in fact it was included in a separate article. So, I've decided to write this article and include all ten cars that made the top ten list.

Honda has long been synonymous with high-performance four-cylinder engines. From the VTEC systems of the 1990s that delivered both fuel efficiency and power to its modern turbocharged units, the Japanese marque has continuously pushed the boundaries of what a four-pot engine can achieve. These engines are celebrated for their impressive power density, reliability, efficiency, and high-revving nature, often found powering everything from everyday sedans to track-ready sports cars.

I’m on my third electric car and I tried going back to a gas car and really didn’t like it. But I rarely drive over 15 miles distance, and a long drive for me is 100 or so miles so I have yet to need to charge my current electricity at a public charging station. We have a plug-in hybrid (Volve XC60 Recharge) for distance, and it has a blended range of 540 miles (gas plus electric). So, we are covered for those rare times we need to drive farther (less than once a year) and both cars mostly live on electricity.
