Talking Cars 452: Best Used Cars of the Year—10 Top Picks
Plus, buying advice and the brands with the most reliable used cars
We hear you! New cars are expensive these days, and most people in the U.S. opt for used cars over new ones. So for this podcast episode, we’re straying a bit from our typical format of covering a new vehicle and instead focusing on used cars.
We discuss the clearest advantages and disadvantages of buying used cars and the best ways to shop.
We’ve launched an all-new used car hub. This page provides selections for the most reliable recommended cars at several prices, backed by a redesigned used car buying guide with all the essentials, from car selection to inspection and financing.
The panelists discuss the used car brand rankings, focused on the reliability of 5- to 10-year-old models.
Plus, they share highlights from CR’s first-ever Best Used Cars of the Year: 10 Top Picks, a curated list of standouts. Each offers a great starting point for shoppers.
