Most Reliable Used Cars to Buy in Canada

When you are buying a used car there are many risks. There are a lot of factors to consider when buying a used car. One of the biggest factors is the quality of the car. Out of three cars bought in Canada, two tend to be used cars. So, it is very important to know the car you are going to buy.

Before buying any used car the thing you need to look for is the revs check. The vehicle history report is a collection of all the previously done operations on the car that include, repair and damages reports and ownership details.

Many other things apart from the history report also play an important role in knowing the condition of the car. Always make sure you check all the mechanical parts starting from the engine, the breaks, the interior, and everything. Just test everything you can.

Apart from the vehicle history report, your budget allocation to buy a car also matters. To save you from the hassle of searching for a low-budget best car in Canada, here we have listed some most reliable used cars in Canada.

1. Toyota Yaris 2014

The Toyota Yaris, which is available in either a subcompact sedan or a hatchback, is well-known for its low cost of ownership.

Among the most basic cars at this price point, the Yaris keeps its features simple but trustworthy. It also has a 105HP 1.5L engine, which gives it plenty of zipping for commuters.

The Toyota Yaris Hatchback didn't quite make the IIHS Top Defensive Picklist for 2014, but it got near. According to J.D. Power Consumer Ratings, it had a score of 78/100.

2. Honda Civic 2013

As this car was the most popular car when it was released, the new models come with various great features.

The standard 1.8L engine was available with either a manual or automatic gearbox, which appealed to both young and senior drivers. 

Honda Civic was also named an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick+ and had an 86/100 dependability rating from J.D. Power. There are several 2013 Honda Civic Sedan vehicles on sale for under $10k.

3. Nissan LEAF 2013

The 2013 Nissan LEAF (electric model) has an eye-catching appearance and standard amenities such as automatic climate control, power windows and locks, push-button start, and an onboard charger.

But it is not limited to this as the most notable features are its 24-kilowatt hour battery and 80-kilowatt electric motor. With an IIHS Top Safety Pick designation to boot, the 2013 LEAF is surprisingly affordable, with prices starting from  $10,000.

4. Chevrolet Spark 2015

It's a shockingly well-equipped car for the commuting or fuel-conscious consumer, with an optional MyLink infotainment system, Wi-Fi connection, and entertaining dashes of attitude inside. With only 84HP, the 1.2L Ecotec engine isn't going to win any races, but it's ideal for light-to-light launches and stops.

The Chevy Spark is an IIHS Top Safety Pick, and J.D. Power ranks it as the best hatchback in its category for the year. For a little under $9,000, you can have a mid-level trim 2015 Spark LT.

5. Kia Forte 2013

Its style is aimed at a younger audience, while it appeals to the young and impressionable as well. Either you go for the manual or 6-speed Sportmatic transmission, the base 2.0L engine in the LX grade is a lot of fun to drive. 

The 2013 Forte easily receives the IIHS Top Safety Pick title because it is part of a new generation of Kia cars that are very dependable. There are several 2013 Kia Forte variants on the market, with prices ranging from $7,500 to $8,500.
