Used Midsized Sedans With the Best Fuel Economy
Avoid expensive repairs and find a reliable, inexpensive ride. We've identified the best 5-year-old nonhybrid sedans that are proven to be trouble-free.
Buying a well-maintained used vehicle is a smart financial decision. 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.
Five-year-old models were also designed and built recently enough that their performance in our tests—such as acceleration, braking, and fuel economy—is still on a par with that of brand-new cars. But the used versions can be had for much less than the price of a new model.
