- Midsize sedans: the most popular class, balancing space, comfort, and efficiency, with room for five. Common examples include the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Chevrolet Malibu, and Hyundai Sonata.

Sedan vs SUV: Which Should You Buy?
A sedan usually costs less to buy and to run, returns better fuel economy, and is easier to handle and park. An SUV offers higher seating, more cargo room, and available all-wheel drive. If you mostly commute, value efficiency, and do not need to haul large items often, a used sedan is frequently the better value. If you regularly carry passengers, gear, or need three rows, compare our used SUVs in Tampa as well.

Used Sedan Frequently Asked Questions
Are used sedans cheaper than SUVs?
Usually, yes. Comparably equipped sedans tend to have a lower purchase price than SUVs, and they often cost less to own thanks to better fuel economy and lower insurance. If you do not need extra cargo room, higher seating, or all-wheel drive, a used sedan is frequently the better overall value.
Is it better to buy a used sedan or a used SUV?
It depends on how you drive. A sedan costs less, uses less fuel, and is easier to park and handle, which suits commuters and smaller households. An SUV adds cargo space, higher seating, and available all-wheel drive for families and gear haulers. Match the body style to your everyday needs and budget.
What is the difference between compact, midsize, and full-size sedans?
Compact sedans are the smallest and most fuel-efficient, ideal for commuting and tight parking. Midsize sedans add interior and trunk room while staying efficient, and are the most popular class. Full-size sedans offer the most passenger and cargo space and the smoothest highway ride, at a higher price and slightly lower fuel economy.
How many miles is too many for a used sedan?
There is no hard cutoff. Most modern sedans are built to run well past 150,000 to 200,000 miles when maintained. Average mileage is roughly 12,000 to 15,000 miles per year, so compare the odometer to the car's age. Documented service history and overall condition matter more than the mileage number alone.
What should I check before buying a used sedan?
Review the vehicle history report, confirm maintenance records, and inspect tires, brakes, fluids, and the condition of the interior and exterior. Take an extended test drive at highway speeds, verify that all electronics and safety features work, and consider an independent pre-purchase inspection. Ask about any remaining factory warranty.
Which used sedans are the most fuel-efficient?
Compact and midsize sedans are typically the most fuel-efficient body style on a used lot, and hybrid versions go further still. Exact mileage varies by model, model year, and engine, so check the EPA estimates for the specific car you are considering. Use the filters above to sort by fuel economy and price.
Are used sedans good for families?
Yes. Midsize and full-size sedans seat five comfortably, offer large trunks, and fit child seats easily, often at a lower price and better fuel economy than an SUV. If you need three rows or frequently carry bulky cargo, an SUV may fit better, but for many families a sedan is plenty of car.
Can I trade in my current vehicle toward a used sedan?
Yes. Get an instant estimate with Rivard's online trade-in tool and apply the value as credit toward any used sedan. You can also sell your vehicle outright through the We Buy Cars program with no obligation to purchase.
