Looking for the most reliable used cars? Start with these models to find a durable car for your needs.

What Are the Most Reliable Used Cars

BMW 2-Series

It’s not surprising that a luxury automobile would be considered a reliable used vehicle, since these cars are precisely engineered to ensure their longevity and quality. They’re excellent new cars, but they can be pricey. Going with a used luxury vehicle can bring the price down to where it’s affordable for you and you get the benefits of a car that’s designed for high-end buyers, including top-notch materials and engine components. The 2-Series is available in a convertible or coupe.

Ford Mustang

One of the most iconic American vehicles is also one of the most reliable, especially the 2017 model. You can choose between the fastback coupe or soft-top convertible, both of which are stylish and modern. The Mustang underwent a full redesign in 2015, so the newer models include an independent rear suspension that makes for a smoother ride and better handling. This is a great option for daily commuters who like a little pep in their drive.

Buick Regal

Reliability in four-door sedans has typically been reserved for Toyotas and Hondas, but the more recent Buick Regals are in the conversation of the most dependable used cars. The last year the Regal was in production was 2017, when it earned the top pick for reliability in the mid-size sedan class, so be on the lookout for these models in particular. However, the 2015 and 2016 Regals are excellent choices as well, especially if you like a lot of technology.

Honda Fit

In the subcompact car class, you won’t find a higher quality vehicle than the Honda Fit, especially if you choose one made after 2015, when the car underwent a full overhaul. You’ll find the engine to be zippier than other models in its category, which is nice considering small cars have a reputation for not having enough power. Additionally, you’ll find the most room for cargo and passengers in the Fit compared to its competitors.

Mazda MX-5 Miata

Sports cars are often known to require a lot of repairs, but not the Mazda MX-5 Miata. The fourth generation of this vehicle was introduced in 2016, and since then, this car has topped the charts for reliability. Even though it’s small, it has a comfortable interior and enough cargo space for most necessities. Its 2-liter four-cylinder six-speed engine (with either an automatic or manual transmission) is the best performing in its class.

Toyota Avalon

Toyotas are famously reliable, and this large sedan is no exception. In fact, in recent years, its reliability scores are better than both the Corolla and Camry, two cars that are synonymous with dependability. The spacious interior is ideal for families or for anyone who just wants extra room. Plush seats, a quiet ride, and upscale technological features make this a vehicle that will please discerning drivers for many years.

Dependability is one of the most necessary features of any used car. If you can’t rely on a vehicle to get you where you need to go, what’s the point of owning it? Come by Fairway Auto Center to check out our inventory of reliable used cars to find the one that speaks to you.
