Stay the he.... away from a nissan versa!
Biggest pos throw away car I've ever made the mistake of buying. Kia and Hyundai ain't that great either.
The Camry or accord is a good option in the used market. They hold together well. They just do.
Subaru makes fine machines for the money. Good used foresters are out there. We love ours!
The crosstrek Is not a bad buy either, around 20k or less last time I looked, tho its smaller in size. Good for young folks. Not so much for old fat peoples.
Subaru are junk. Research the motors they are horrible. Depends if you want long term or short term. If you planning on throwing it in the creek buy one. Everybody I know had one loved theirs too until they blew up.
Honda accord or newer Kia. I'm with everybody saying not to put them in a small car.
Shoot put them in a dirty duramax tight wad. Naw just playing.
