Aug. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Atlantic Toyota and Huntington Toyota shoppers may be looking for the best options in terms of used cars, minivans or SUVs. Yahoo Autos made it easy with its list of five vehicles to avoid with five alternatives for consumers to consider. Toyota secured three out of the five alternative spots.
There are many automakers that claim one vehicle has more quality and reliability than another but those are only statements until tested in some form. For this reason, and many others, shopping for a vehicle can be somewhat difficult and may add unneeded, additional stress to shoppers. By using owner surveys, Yahoo Autos was able to offer a list to make the process of shopping for used cars much more simple.
Over the past few months the prices for used cars have risen sharply due to the demand increasing as quickly as it did. Atlantic Toyota and Huntington Toyota buyers should know that buying a 3-year-old used car now is a better investment than purchasing a 1- or 2-year-old vehicle due to the high cost of used cars in that age range. With so many options to choose from, it’s a good idea to have an idea where to start.
Yahoo Autos decided that for a model to qualify as a vehicle to avoid, the model has “to get a minimum of two out of five in the J.D. Power and Associates circle ratings for dependability.” Additionally, the vehicle has to be ranked below average in Consumer Reports’ annual April car issue and online car rankings.
Here is the list of five vehicles to avoid and which vehicles are better alternatives:
Minivan
•   Avoid: Chrysler Town & Country
•   Alternative: Toyota Sienna
Large SUV
•   Avoid: Ford Expedition
•   Alternative: Toyota Sequoia
Midsize SUV
•   Avoid: GMC Acadia
•   Alternative: Toyota 4 Runner
Midsize Car
•   Avoid: Volkswagen Passat
•   Alternative: Ford Fusion
Small Car
•   Avoid: Volkswagen Beetle
•   Alternative: Hyundai Elantra
Shoppers may visit dealerships like Atlantic Toyota and Huntington Toyota and test drive any of the Toyota alternatives to ensure the vehicle is the right one for them. Shoppers may find which vehicle is a better fit as well as which fits their definitions of reliability and dependability better than others.
