In the market for a used car? Here is my list of the Top 10 Used Cars based on reliability as determined by Consumer Reports. Market price is as of Dec. 6, 2008, according to Edmunds.com.

Ford Mustang The redesign in 2005 was the best in 20 years.

Chrysler 300 A beautiful sedan that was among the most pleasurable cars I have ever driven.

Hyundai Sonata The Rodney Dangerfield of midsize sedans. It gets no respect.

Mazda5 My co-favorite used car because I own a 2008 Touring edition with a 5-sp manual.

Dodge Neon We’ve owned one since 2002 with only a minor trunk latch problem.

Acura MDX My favorite luxury SUV, but I favor the MDX before its 2007 redesign.

Dodge Sprinter The Sprinter, great for families with four or more children, comfortably seats eight.

VW Phaeton Premium luxury sedans didn’t get any better than the Phaeton when it was introduced in 2004.

Saab 9-5 I’ve had a love affair with Saab going back to 1987.

Kia Spectra5 A huge blizzard sold me on this little hatchback.
