Reliability is arguably the most important feature of a used car. After all, you’re buying a car that is already several years and thousands of miles into its life.
If you’re shopping for a used car, you need to know which ones are built to last. Below are five of the most reliable used cars that you should consider if you’re hoping to drive away and not come back.
1. Mazda Miata
Reliable doesn’t have to mean boring. The 2020 Mazda Miata was named the most reliable car by Consumer Reports with a perfect reliability score and top marks across all 17 categories. And the 2019 and 2018 model years performed just as well.
The Miata breaks with the stereotype that roadsters aren’t reliable. If you’re looking for sporty, fun, stylish, and long-lasting, the Mazda Miata is your car.
2. Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry has long had a reputation for being among the most reliable cars on the road. It’s common for these vehicles to still be on the road well past 200,000 miles and even when they do need repairs they are typically easy and affordable to fix.
When it comes to Point A to Point B, the Toyota Camry delivers year after year.
3. Lexus ES
A Lexus is not all style with no substance. The 2017 ES earned a quality and reliability score of 96 out of 100 from J.D. Power to win top honors for the compact premium class in the 2020 dependability ratings.
Given the price difference between a new and used Lexus, the reliability of these luxury vehicles offer a tremendous value for used car shoppers.
4. Buick Encore
SUV drivers need reliability too, and the Buick Encore brings it. The Encore is among the 10 most reliable cars according to Consumer Reports with near-perfect scores across the board. And what’s more, the Buick Encore has improved its reliability scores over the years, meaning it continues to get even more dependable all the time.
5. Honda Civic
Japanese made. Simplified design. Inexpensive to repair. The Honda Civic displays all the hallmarks of a reliable car, and for years has been among the first models to come to mind when the topic of reliability comes up.
