Subaru tops Consumer Reports’ list of best small used cars

Used cars are often the best choice for consumers looking to save some money, and with high gas prices prevalent across much of the country, downsizing is becoming especially important. Even still, there are some smaller models that are more fuel-efficient than others, and Consumer Reports recently unveiled its list of top deals on used small cars.

The vehicle that topped the list was the 2006 Subaru Impreza. Not only does this car offer strong fuel-efficiency, but it also is one of the most affordable automobiles out there. The organization reports that most dealers will sell it for around $11,300.

While having a car with high gas mileage is key, that doesn't mean that drivers have to sacrifice style. In fact, Consumer Reports listed the 2008 Honda Civic EX Coupe as one of the best deals as well. With an average price of $16,325, the ride is certainly an affordable way to drive in style.

Whether looking to get behind the wheel of a sensible Subaru or a speedy Honda Civic, drivers should check out New Jersey Auto Auction, which offers a wide variety of makes and models.
