"Reliability, safety and availability" were the criteria Edmunds used to arrive at its 2012 used car best bets. They are taken from the pool of 2005 through 2010 cars, because two to seven year old cars usually are the better deals. And the winners are: Midsize Sedan: 2005-2010 Nissan Altima Convertible: 2005-2010 Mazda Miata Compact SUV/Crossover: 2005-2010 Honda CR-V Minivan/Van: 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey Compact Truck: 2005-2010 Toyota Tacoma Luxury: 2005-2010 Infiniti G35/G37 Hybrid: 2005-2010 Toyota Prius Sport Compact: 2005-2010 Subaru Impreza WRX Compact Sedan: 2005-2010 Hyundai Elantra Large Sedan: 2006-2010 Hyundai Azera Midsize SUV/Crossover: 2005-2010 Ford Explorer Large SUV/Crossover: 2005-2010 Chevrolet Tahoe Large Truck: 2005-2010 Ford F-150 Oh, and just in case some are missing a statistic that raised hackles and caused heckles at past lists: Four out of 15 cars on this list are not American. Bonus statistic: One of the four was a Japanese in drag. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com | |||
