Affordable Used Cars: Best Sellers

One of the aspects to consider when buying a used affordable car is how popular this model is. It will be evidence of vehicle reliability. Besides, there will be no problems with repair and maintenance. So, you should pay attention to the following cars.

  • Buick Encore 2017 New Gen

For the foreign markets, this car is distributed as Opel Mokka. GM specifically produces this Buick Encore for the US auto market. Even the minimum configuration of this car provides more options than the top-end Opel version. Besides, manufacturers paid more attention to sound insulation and noise reduction. The only engine option for the Encore is the 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine (138 horsepower).

  • Ford Fusion 2017 Restyling

The 2017 Ford Fusion was a hit, combining the traditional advantages of family sedan spaciousness and sleek styling that attracts attention. After restyling, it received a more aggressive appearance, a new generation of Sync 3 multimedia with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a joystick instead of the traditional gear knob, and much more. All these make it one of the best reasonably-priced sedans.

  • Honda Civic X 2016

In 2016, the Civic was completely redesigned and improved, which allows it to retain its place among the leaders of its class today. In addition to the updated multimedia systems, there were also updates and improvements to the engine and other assemblies. The 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 174 horsepower has an impressively low consumption for its power. The 1.8-liter engine was replaced by a 2.0-liter one, with a capacity of 158 hp.

Inside the cabin, there were also changes: the rear passengers have more space. The comfort of movement still pleases its owners. Even in previous versions, Honda achieved high-quality soundproofing of the arches and silence in the cabin.
