Honda Fit
The Honda Fit, otherwise known as Jazz in the global market, continues to be one of the most desirable small hatchbacks thanks to its excellent fuel economy and Honda’s long-standing reputation for quality and reliability. According to the journalists’ findings, the 2013 model is one of the best Honda models to buy used, as it is affordable, reliable, and surprisingly easy to operate.
Speaking of the powertrain, the 2013 Japanese hatchback gets its power from a 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine that produces 119 hp. A 5-speed manual transmission was offered as standard, but an automatic with five gears was available as an option.
The 2013 Honda Fit has an excellent reliability rating of 4.0/5.0 from RepairPal, ranking 4th among 21 subcompact cars. A famous J.D. Power platform ranked the hatchback second overall with an excellent quality and reliability score of 85/100. In addition, its average annual repair cost of around $390 is the lowest on the list. Serious technical issues are extremely rare, and such repairs are generally easy and quick.

Chevrolet Malibu
The Chevrolet Malibu sedan received a complete redesign in 2013. It became more stylish and economical, making the model more attractive in the large sedan class. The Chevrolet automaker also added a new Eco mode for the 2.4-liter gasoline engine with MHEV technology. The result is acceleration to 60 mph (100 km/h) in 8.5 seconds and gasoline consumption of 30 MPG (8.0 l/100 km) in the mixed cycle. Other engine options included a 2.5-liter gasoline engine (200 hp) and a 2.0-liter turbo engine with 260 hp.
According to RepairPal, the 2013 Malibu is repaired less frequently than the average car in the United States. That is why this 4-door Chevy received a good reliability score of 4.0 out of 5.0, making it 9th place among 24 cars. The Malibu also performed well in the J.D. Power reliability rating, scoring 84/100. Today, the purchase of a used 2014 Chevrolet Malibu will cost about $6,400 in the US.

Hyundai Sonata
With a fair price of $6,706, a used 2013 Hyundai Sonata offers a lot of value for the money. The D-Class sedan comes with a long list of standard features, some of which were optional for competitors. Add that to its powerful engines, excellent fuel economy, and proven reliability, and it’s easy to see why this Sonata is still a relevant car. The Korean 2013 Sonata is equipped with a 2.4-liter gasoline engine that produces 200 hp or a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with an output of 276 hp.
The 2013 Hyundai Sonata has an ownership cost of approximately $458 per year. This, coupled with a relatively less frequent and complex number of repairs, helped the sedan receive a 4.0/5.0 reliability rating on RepairPal, ranking it 5th out of 24 midsize cars (D-Class).
