Edmunds.com editors emphasize reliability, safety, and availability as the most important criteria when developing their best-value list. The editors also limited selection age range to 2-7 years because older vehicles typically have unacceptably high mileage, and newer units will not have experienced the initial depreciation hit that generally makes a low-mileage 2- or 3-year-old car the best value.
