The 7 Safest Affordable Used Cars

I have scoured the web in search of used cars that have been awarded a ‘Top Safety Pick’ badge by none other than the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Volkswagen CC

Car Review: Volkswagen CC (2008-2017)

As a variant of the Volkswagen Passat, the CC (Comfort Coupe) gives the Passat a sportier, more interesting style while extending the size all round. Although it has luxury and comfort, it also has plenty to give the driver (especially with the 3.6 liter V6 engine option) on board. So check out the fact sheet below.

Lexus IS

Car Review: Lexus IS (2005-2012)

The second generation Lexus IS is certainly a major step up for Toyota’s luxury brand and has plenty to boast about. The modest good looks are not as flashy as the BMW, but then again you don’t want to be the target of cops pulling you over every time you leave the house. So let’s take a look at the Lexus IS close up.

Cargo Passenger Vans

Best Cargo Passenger Vans Under $10,000

If you’re looking for a van to convert and travel round in, cart stock or passengers, then you may be in for a treat if you’re looking for a van that isn’t a minivan. You may have to look at an older model from the 1990’s, but you could find yourself a real gem. I look at what you can find for under $10,000 on the used van market with less than 100,000 miles on the odometer.

A luxury car at a fraction of the price of others in the same class, the Chrysler 300 has been compared to the Bentley with parts derived from Mercedes-Benz under the bonnet.

Car Review: Honda Civic Type R (2017-2021)

Appearing in new car dealerships across America for the first time on 14 June 2017, the Civic Type R instantly turned heads with its brash new remodeling and a new world record for front-wheel drive cars with a lap time of 7:43.80 achieved at the Grand-Prix racing track in Nurburgring, Germany.

So what’s it like? Read on to find out.
