HOW WE

MAKE OUR

PICKS

Best used cars: These

are among the most

reliable vehicles from the

2010 through 2019 model

years, based on vehicle

problems reported

by CR members in our

Annual Auto Surveys. We

eliminated any model year

in which the vehicle didn’t

have standard electronic

stability control (ESC),

a key safety feature

that became federally

mandated in 2012.

Worst used cars: These

2010 through 2019

models have well-below-

average reliability for

their model years, based

on CR member feedback

to our Annual Auto

Surveys.

The 127 models on this list have demonstrated

much-worse-than-average reliability for

the model years shown, based on CR member

responses to our Annual Auto Surveys.
