Used Midsized Sedans With the Best Fuel Economy
These nonhybrid 5-year-old sedans are reliable and reasonably priced, making them smart choices
Buying a well-maintained used vehicle can be a smart move because used cars have gone through the most significant part of their depreciation cycle by the time they’re 5 years old. That means you’ll get many of the modern convenience and entertainment features found in brand-new models but at a significantly lower price.
They were also designed and built recently enough that their performance in our tests—such as for acceleration, braking, and fuel economy—is still on a par with brand-new cars. But they can be had for much less than new versions.
