Check Out These Used Commuter Vehicles

If you are a commuter, then you know what you need when choosing your next vehicle. You will want something reliable since you have to know that it won’t give you problems when you make your daily drive to work. Fuel economy will also be a big factor, as you don’t want to lose money on your commute by driving a gas guzzler. All that savings at the gas pump will help ensure you have more take-home pay. You will also want to save money when you buy a vehicle, so choosing one that is used makes the most sense. Used vehicles cost less than buying the same model new at a comparable trim level. This is because most new vehicles lose up to half their value over the first three years due to depreciation. As a result, you can save money when buying a used model.

Future Honda is the place to go when you are looking for used cars for sale. In addition to the unrivaled selection of Honda cars, trucks, and SUVs at our dealership, we also carry a vast inventory of used vehicles from all different brands. This lets you find the used sedan or SUV that will work best for you.

Used Commuter Sedans

For a long time, sedans were the passenger vehicles of choice for most drivers. These models are easy to handle and have a sporty design. However, more drivers have moved to trucks and SUVs over the last 20 years. While each model type has its benefits, there is nothing to match a used sedan when you are looking to commute. These models give you great fuel economy and fit easily into most parking spots, which is why so many commuters choose them for their daily drive.

Honda Civic

The longest-running model in the Honda lineup is the compact Civic sedan. The Civic gives you a surprisingly roomy interior, which is a hallmark of most Honda models. This allows you to seat up to five passengers, so your Civic won’t be a one-trick pony. You can also use it when you are off work to go out with friends and family. With many different fuel-efficient engines to choose from, a used Civic will help you save money every day. Honda also offers a four-door hatchback version that gives you additional trunk space, which is great if you work in a trade or as an architect or designer. You can use that space for the tools of your trade.

Nissan Sentra

The Sentra is another used compact sedan with a long lineage. This Nissan offers advanced technology, such as active safety features, to help you avoid accidents during your morning commute. It also offers great fuel economy in a slightly larger and more stylish model than most other compact sedans.

Chevy Malibu

The midsize Malibu is a great value on the used market. As one of the most affordable sedans in its class, it is ideal for commuters who want a larger model. This makes it a great choice if you need a larger sedan for the weekends when you are using your sedan as a family vehicle. The Malibu was first introduced in the 1960s, making it a true Chevrolet legacy car.

Kia Rio

Whoever said good things come in small packages must have had the Kia Rio in mind. This subcompact sedan is long on value with exceptional fuel economy and an affordable price, especially on the used market. This is a great choice for a commuter who wants to get the most out of his or her budget. You can also find the Rio hatchback on the used market if you want greater trunk space in your car.

Toyota Corolla

Like the Honda Civic, the Toyota Corolla is a true legend, having helped start the Toyota automotive empire. Affordably priced with a great choice of engines, the used Corolla gives you the fuel economy you want in a compact sedan. Toyota has built its reputation on dependable vehicles, and the Corolla is no exception, which is why it is a solid choice for your next commuter car.

Toyota Prius

The hatchback that helped jumpstart the electric and hybrid car craze, the Toyota Prius is a great choice for a used commuter sedan. This is a standard hybrid, pairing a gas engine with an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. At lower speeds, the electric drivetrain works alone, using the gas engine only occasionally to keep the battery charged. When you drive above 35 mph, the two engines work together to propel the Prius. The result is a car that will deliver incredible fuel economy numbers. While a used Prius may cost a little more than other compact sedans, the savings in gasoline will more than make up for the price differential over time.

Used Commuter SUVs

Used SUVs are also a great choice for commuters. These models have higher ground clearance than sedans, which can be helpful when driving in inclement weather. They are also easier for older passengers to enter and exit than conventional sedans. While most don’t get the same fuel economy as some used sedans, they will still give you solid numbers, especially considering compact and subcompact models.

Honda HR-V

The Honda HR-V is a subcompact SUV ideal for commuters. With its fuel-efficient engine and the ability to find a used model with all-wheel drive, this model will make your commutes safer and more enjoyable. Choosing an HR-V with available all-wheel drive will give you improved traction, especially in inclement weather.

Honda CR-V

If you want a used model with the dependability synonymous with Honda, then the CR-V is for you. This compact SUV has many of the same attributes as the HR-V but with a larger interior. This will give you roomier rear seats, making it ideal for commuters looking for a vehicle that can double as a family ride on days off. It also has a surprisingly spacious trunk that is handy when you need to bring things to work.

Nissan Kicks

One of the most affordably priced subcompact SUVs is the Nissan Kicks. While a used Kicks will only be available with front-wheel drive since Nissan didn’t begin offering its Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system on the Kicks until the 2025 model year, it will still be a great choice for a commuter looking to stay on a tight budget. The Kicks also delivers some of the best fuel economy you will find on an SUV with a conventional gas engine.

Kia Soul

The Kia Soul was first introduced in 2020, making it one of the newer models available on the used market. This subcompact SUV has a funky design that gives it one of the largest trunks you will find on an SUV in its vehicle class. Like the Kicks, a used Soul is quite affordable and also provides good fuel economy, making this a great choice of SUV for a commuter.

Ford Escape

The Escape gives you a spacious interior like a Honda CR-V, making it a good choice for commuters looking for a roomier SUV for dual use as a family vehicle. While the Escape with a conventional gas engine will give you solid fuel economy numbers, finding a used Escape with a hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain will boost these numbers considerably. Either way, the used Escape represents a great value for a driver looking for a commuter vehicle.

Subaru Crosstrek

The Crosstrek is a subcompact SUV with a difference. Subaru has built a reputation for longevity and safety, which has made it a leading brand in both areas. This is certainly true of the Crosstrek, which comes with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This will provide you with the traction you need regardless of road conditions. In addition, you will find many used Crosstrek models with standard EyeSight active driver assistance features.
