Small Cars With The Best Reliability
February 5, 2015
If you're interested in a small vehicle and reliability is a top concern, I have good news. Consumer Reports recently released a list of what they consider the most reliable small cars available right now. Their list includes the Scion xB, Toyota Yaris, and Honda Civic.
On the flipside, they also highlight small cars you should avoid. That list includes the Fiat 500L, Ford Fiesta, and Chevrolet Cruze.
If a small car is what you're looking for, and you want to make sure you don't pay a big price for it, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to compare the best prices among your local dealers.
