Best Midsized Cars Under $15K
October 1, 2015
For many car buyers, midsized cars can be the best of all worlds. They are big enough for a family, but not too big to feel overwhelming. They can offer a lot in terms of safety, comfort, fuel efficiency, and the latest features and technology. And even more importantly, you don't have to break the bank to purchase one.
US News & World Report's Best Cars Blog has a rather lengthy list of recommended used midsized cars, all for under $15,000, including the 2009 Honda Accord, 2010 Mercury Milan, 2010 Toyota Prius, and 2009 Mazda Mazda6. A look at the list is below.
