Which cars make the cut?

The only cars you’ll find on Bestest are the ones that consistently earn high marks from trusted institutions including Car and Driver, Kelley Blue Book, Consumer Reports and NHTSA, with a particular emphasis on reliability and resale value. Every vehicle here is offered by a factory-authorized dealer, is five years old or newer with under 50,000 miles, and isn’t a trim, year or powertrain we’ve ruled out. Of the 22,339 used cars for sale in Orange County this week, only 1,297 qualify as Bestest.

What it takes to make Bestest →

Toyota leads Costa Mesa's newer cars

Toyota is the most popular newer car in Costa Mesa, California: about 1 in 6 cars from model year 2021 and newer registered in the city is a Toyota.

Based on the DMV's most recent registration data.

  1. Toyota
  2. Tesla
  3. Honda

What sets Costa Mesa apart

  • A Jeep hot spot. Newer Jeeps are nearly twice as common in Costa Mesa as across Orange County, one of the highest rates in the county.
  • Audi and Volkswagen fans. Newer Audis and Volkswagens are each nearly twice as common in Costa Mesa as across Orange County.
  • Teslas, too. Newer Teslas are nearly three times as common in Costa Mesa as in the national sales mix.

Count older cars, and Ford joins the top three

Counting all cars on the road in Costa Mesa, including older ones, the top three are Toyota, Honda and Ford, according to the DMV's most recent registration data.

About this data: These figures come from Bestest's analysis of California DMV vehicle registrations (as of January 1, 2026, the most recent available) and California Energy Commission new-car data. "Newer cars" means model years 2021 and later. Starting with its 2024 file, the DMV's public data leaves the make blank for about a third of vehicles. Our model fills in those blanks, and it proved itself by identifying 96% of each city's top five brands in a year when the DMV still named nearly every car's make. National comparisons use the US new-car sales mix for 2021 to 2025. Analysis by Jason Allan, former head of vehicle reviews and ratings at Kelley Blue Book. Updated October 2026.
