As the ongoing pandemic turns people off from shared forms of transportation like trains, buses, and taxis, a recent study found that more and more people have become interested in buying a car of their own.
And fortunately for shoppers, online car marketplace CarGurus released its fourth-annual Best Used Car Awards on Wednesday.
The site looked at recent-year used models across 10 vehicle categories and judged cars based on user ratings, professional reviews, popularity, availability, and projected 12-year value retention. For each of the 10 vehicle segments — including luxury sedan, full-size pickup, and midsize crossover — the company released a top choice, along with two runners up.
Vehicles are typically broken up into generations where styling and features stay similar, and CarGurus chose from generations available for the 2016 model year — so long as they didn’t stretch back more than a decade. Check out the full list of used-car picks below.
