Most Reliable 2013 Cars: Sedans
J.D. Power annually surveys thousands of new- and used-car owners, gathering information about what has gone right and gone wrong, and what people like and dislike about their vehicles. Based on this research, J.D. Power predicts how reliable new cars are likely to be in the years ahead. The 2013 model-year sedans that follow, listed in alphabetical order, are the top-rated, non-luxury models in terms of predicted reliability.
2013 Buick Regal
Designed and engineered in Europe, the Buick Regal is a little bit smaller than many midsize sedans, but includes a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain as standard equipment. A turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is installed in the Regal Turbo model, while the performance-oriented Regal GS gets modified styling, extra horsepower, and other changes intended to transform it into a genuine sport sedan.
2013 Chevrolet Impala
The Impala full-size sedan continues in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels, offering a new Luxury Edition package for the LT. A 300-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 is the only engine available for the current iteration of the Impala, which continues for 2014 as the Impala Limited and will be sold only to businesses and governments. A redesigned 2014 Impala arrives for consumers to consider.
2013 Chevrolet Malibu
Redesigned for 2013, the new midsize Malibu is sold in LS, LT, Eco, and LTZ trim levels.

Ford redesigns the 2013 Fusion, and offers the family sedan with a range of 4-cylinder engines and hybrid powertrains, including a new plug-in hybrid system that provides a claimed 20-mile electric vehicle driving range.

2013 Honda Civic
Just one year after a complete redesign for the 2012 model year, the 2013 Civic is restyled on the outside, upgraded with improved materials inside, and boasts a strengthened underlying structure designed to improve crash protection, according to Honda. The base Civic DX is cancelled for 2013, while the Civic LX adds new safety and communications equipment. Honda's popular compact is offered in an array of models, from fuel-efficient to fun-to-drive.
2013 Hyundai Sonata
Last redesigned for the 2011 model year, the 2013 Sonata family sedan is sold in GLS, SE, Limited, and Hybrid trim levels. The manual transmission that used to be standard for the GLS is dropped for 2013, while SE and Limited versions gain standard equipment. Among the models on this list, the Sonata has the longest warranty, with 10 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain protection.
2013 Toyota Avalon
Toyota redesigns the 2013 Avalon, which the automaker says is styled, engineered, and built in America.

2013 Toyota Corolla
This is the final year for the Corolla in advance of a complete redesign for 2014. Toyota's compact sedan continues in L, LE and S trim levels, the latter a sporty looking variant if not offering sporty driving. Nicer exterior trim arrived for 2013, along with a touch-screen radio display for LE and S versions. A couple of special-edition variants arrived toward the end of production.
