What is the best used car?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of ways to establish the value of a used car. For the first ever “Best Used Car Awards” from CarGurus, they looked at three distinct features to evaluate entire model generations of vehicles originally available in the United States in 2013.  Judging by expert reviews, customer reviews, and long-term depreciation estimates, winners were chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dodge Dart (2013-2016) won in the Compact Sedan\/Hatchback category, with the Hyundai Elantra (2011-2016) as the runner up. The Dodge Charger (2011-2017), Ford Fusion (2013-2016), and Chrysler 200 (2010-2014) took first, second and third place (respectively) in the Midsize Sedan category. The Jeep Wrangler (2007-2016) took top in the Small Crossover\/SUV category, while the Toyota 4Runner (2010-2016) won in the Midsize Crossover\/SUV category and the Hyundai Santa Fe (2103-2016) took the Full-size Crossover\/SUV category.
