I'm finding CPO Hyundai Accents for $10k. Hyundai had a spotty past, and reliability wasn't a strong suit, but I hear things are different now. True? As reliable as Toyota or Honda?
Bought our daughter a Mitsubishi Lancer - she had it through undergrad and postgrad - still going strong and only now about to sell it!! Great all round visibility, good safety features and great gas milaeage and at least in our case pretty damn good reliabilty! She barely spent a dime on maintenance over 8 years.
