Recommend Me A Reliable Economy Car
I'm looking to buy a new car soon in the $13K-16K range. What I'm most looking for in a car is reliability with a good manufacturer's warranty. Fuel economy is my second concern.
The 05/06 Ford Focus looked like a reasonable choice, but they seem to have a bad history of mechanical failures. |

Re: Recommend Me A Reliable Economy Car
you could get a corolla, 41mpg, good cars, great resale.

Basically anything from Honda or Toyota is good. Also Hyundai is worth a look because of their nice warranty. |

Re: Recommend Me A Reliable Economy Car
As noted above, Honda or Toyota are fine.
Kia and Hyundai have lower resale values and depreciate faster. Also, my friends recent Hyundai expreience has shown them to have so-so reilability for electronics, warranty or no. |

Re: Recommend Me A Reliable Economy Car
the current focus is not underpowered, it has more power than the Corolla and Civic. Its hard to find a matrix with any warrantee left for 13k.
