looking for safety and durability

[u/Expensive-Bad1077]

what would you recommend for a used car, specifically between about 2010-2020 that has great safety ratings along with low maintenance costs? i want something that will keep me going for a while without racking up repair bills, and also something that i can feel comfortable in while on the road with all these crazy drivers lol. i’ve only ever had a honda civic and a buick century, both 2000, so i think i’d like another sedan but that’s really my only stipulation along with preferably under 15k. also something that will do well in a cold and snowy climate!

I personally like a full size sedan so 2011 or newer Avalon with the 3.5 V6 currently have over 200k on mine and outside of wear items brakes tires etc the only repair was an alternator and a set of spark plugs. It's basically a Camry that looks classier
