selecting the best used car for my needs

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for suggestions on makes, models, and anecdotal evidence from all you car experts out there on which car(s) would make the most sense for my needs (listed below).

I've just moved back to the US after living in Europe for 6 years where I didn't drive at all and now I need to buy a car again :-)

Basically, I'm looking for something that will fulfill the following:

+ reliability in bad winter weather (I live near Boston and the winters can be rough on a car; I don't want to get stuck in the snow too much)
+ reasonable gas mileage
+ relatively low maintenance and repair costs
+ can transport a mid-size guitar amp
+ under $10K

Many thanks for any suggestions!!
