10 Reliable Used Cars - Based on Make and Model
2010 Toyota Corolla
The Corolla consistently ranks high in reliability (http://www.carmd.com) for vehicle repairs. It has few problems, and the average cost of repairs is $283.13. Despite publicized safety recalls, Toyota is the most reliable of any manufacturer.
2008 Ford Taurus
The Taurus scores high reliability ratings on surveys, with a low frequency of repairs and very low repair costs averaging $141.17.
2008 Toyota Yaris
The tiny Toyota Yaris is a good bet, based on its showing in analysis of vehicle repairs. It had a low incidence of "check-engine" problems and the average repair cost is $259.33.
2009 Honda Pilot
Surveys says the Honda Pilot the most reliable full-size SUV on the road. Average repair costs are just $141.
2009 Honda Accord
The Accord has low failure rate and modest repair costs ($201.74).
2010 Subaru Forester
Subaru is one of the most dependable vehicles on the road, which probably explains why Subaru owners hang on to them longer than most other brands. The Forester rarely needs repairs, and when it does, the average cost is just $116.33.
2007 Lexus ES 350
The Lexus ES 350 is rated the most reliable luxury model on CarMD, with average repair costs of $377.71. A "check engine" light is fairly rare in this car.
2011 Hyundai Sonata
Hyundai had the lowest average repair cost for the Top 10 manufacturers, at $271.86. Toyota's average, by comparison, was $490.72. The Sonata, with average repair costs of $336.30, was the top-ranked vehicle from the Korean manufacturer.
2011 Chevrolet Impala
GM introduced a newly redesigned Impala two years ago. It had few problems and average repair costs of just $184.30.
2010 Subaru Outback
The Outback holds up well, and repair costs average just $110.43. A testament to the longevity of Subarus: the most common repair is replacement of the catalytic converter, a part which fails only after extensive wear and tear.
