Forbes has assessed all of the vehicles out there and has concluded that as far as used cars go, the Honda Accord is at the top of their list.

There are a lot of vehicles available that are certified pre-owned, claims Forbes, however, the Accord deserves acknowledgement.  Forbes has based its decision on data concerned with reliability taken from Consumer Reports Magazine.  Also, they looked at safety and availability of used car warranties.

Following the Accord on the list was the Saturn Relay and Jeep Grand Cherokee.  Next, were the Pontiac G6, Mercedes Benz E-class and VW New Beetle.

Certified pre-owned cars are often taken back and resold if they are in sound condition.  Auto dealers often refurbish them if necessary and offer a limited auto warranty.  This is a booming practice, and consumers are benefiting.
