| Car & Driver - Most Reliable Used Cars |
| 2020-11-14 |
| [Car & Driver] Sales of used cars and the popularity of "certified pre-owned" (CPO) programs continue to increase as millions of Americans realize an affordable used car doesn't have to be a clunker. Reliability is available on a tight budget. You just have to choose the right car. According to owners surveyed by J.D. Power, these nine models from 2017 are the most dependable. They're also new enough to be purchased from a CPO program, which usually includes extended warranties. Many offer modern in-cabin tech features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. This list includes a wide range of vehicles, from large sedans to sports cars, subcompacts to luxury models. There's even an EV in the pack. Here they are in alphabetical order. |

| #2 I looked at that list. Those cars , for the most part , fail the cost of ownership stats. A luxury car may be reliable but when it does fail the parts are way expensive and often require special tool to repair. You may be better off with a Toyota Corolla . |

| #1 J.D. Power, huh? I remember in the early '90s we bought a Buick partly because J.D. Power reported it had the fewest problems after the first 90 days, or something like that. The Buick LeSabre was number one in owner satisfaction, they said. I remember my Dad telling me, "You don't know J.D. Power from Adam." That Buick was a lemon. Drive the car before you buy it. If it feels good, if you like it and you can afford it then buy it. For the record, I didn't particularly care for that car when we test drove it. It was too heavy and clunky. But Mrs. Uluque liked it. |
