Driving in Montreal isn’t exactly what one would call a pleasure most of the time. The roads are either under construction or dotted with potholes, and all of the construction means congestion can get pretty bad sometimes. On top of it all, that’s just what it’s like driving in the summer, never mind the winter weather.
For many in the city, driving is the only way they can reliably get to work or get out of the city. If you’re budget-conscious but still need a car to get around, you can save money by searching for a used car online. Instead of heading straight to the dealership, you can find better deals by comparing prices online, with many used dealerships listing their inventory on online marketplaces.
These are some of the most popular used cars in Montreal right now. Check out these models for great performance, fuel economy, and major savings.
Toyota Corolla
The Toyota Corolla is a tried-and-true sedan that combines practicality, fuel efficiency, dependability, and a considerable amount of space for a smaller vehicle.
More recent models come with contemporary safety standards, including dynamic radar cruise control, collision-avoidance systems, and pedestrian detection. No matter what year you’re buying, the Corolla is known for its fuel efficiency and dependability in poor conditions.
If you’re just looking for a reliable, budget-friendly way to get around town, you can’t go wrong searching for Toyota used cars in Montreal.
Ford Escape
Hybrid vehicles offer a great compromise for drivers who aren’t ready to commit to plugging in an EV. Hybrids recharge as you drive, relying on a combination of gas and electric power. Drivers don’t need to worry about always making sure their battery is charged, and there’s no range anxiety with driving a hybrid.
The Ford Escape is a great hybrid model, and with its compact SUV body style, it’s a great option for families and drivers who need that extra bit of elbow room.
The addition of four-wheel drive options makes it great for Montreal weather conditions, and it’s known for its long-term reliability (look no further than its popularity among cab drivers).
Ford F-150
Canada’s bestselling pick-up truck is a great buy used when you need a vehicle with robust build quality and the reliability you need to get to work in any weather. The Ford F-150 isn’t just for contractors; it provides a wide range of trim levels, body configurations, and drivetrains.
If you’re in the market for a used Ford F-150, any model from 2015 onward uses a tougher aluminum body and won’t be prone to rust. Given the combination of Montreal’s long, cold, and humid winters with abrasive road salt, that’s an excellent quality to have.
Honda Civic
Year after year, the Honda Civic is one of Canada’s bestselling used cars. The Honda Civic is relatively comfortable, and it comes with plenty of safety features. As an added bonus, it’s pretty stylish, and the combination of ride quality and handling makes it more interesting to drive. It’s a budget-friendly, common option.
Whatever you’re looking for, buying used is a great way to save.
