Best Cars for City Commutes
While finding a car that fits your needs, budget, and lifestyle is always a challenge, if you live or work in New York City, the process can be even more difficult. From the lack of gas stations to congested roads, tight parking spaces, and long commute times, choosing the right vehicle for you can be difficult. Fortunately, Major World offers some of the best-used vehicles to support New York City living. Let’s take a look at some of the best types of cars for New York City:
Best Affordable Cars
Whether you’re a young professional just beginning your career or you’re living on a fixed income, if affordability is your top priority, there are a few factors to consider when choosing a car for New York City commuting, including fuel efficiency and overall reliability. Long hours spent in traffic can drain your tank, making your costs skyrocket, while an unreliable car can cost you hundreds whenever a repair is needed. Here are a few good options:
Chevy Cruze
The Chevy Cruze is a great choice for its affordability (you can often find a used Chevy Cruze for under $10K), compact size, and great gas mileage. It also comes with impressive crash test scores, which is ideal when navigating stressful and congested city streets.
Nissan Altima
Known for its wealth of safety features, sporty look, and great fuel economy, Nissan Altima is an efficient car choice for commutes. The fuel efficiency of the Altima will make commuting in New York City as easy and affordable as possible. This car is comfortable and equipped with extra legroom for long drives to the city.
Best Family Cars
Finding a car that can fit your family members while still remaining compact enough to easily park and navigate roads can be challenging. Here are some cars that might fit the bill:

If you’re looking for all the bells and whistles in your next vehicle while still maintaining good gas mileage and reliability, here are some great options to consider:
