The editor of Edmunds.com writes about new cars for a living but he has recently chosen his top picks for pre-owned vehicles in 2010.

For a small sedan, he chose the Hyundai Elantra, any year from 2003-08, because of its  low price yet long lasting durability and strength. For his top choice on large sedan he also chose a Hyundai, the Azeras.

The Azeras also have low prices and you get plenty of amenities in the vehicle. His top choice for small SUV was the Honda CRV because of the great gas mileage and the design which is comfortable to ride in. This car is also the number one top-selling small SUV, which means that they is a good selection of them at a dealership near you.
