Hi good evening, just to add to what the privious poster wrote
- 2003/2005 Lexus Es300/330- it’s a v6 but also not as economical on fuel has the vehicles above . Solid drivetrain though
- Honda Civic 2006/2008- a very good alternative to a corolla, nice cockpit and economical.
- Toyota matrix 2003-2006 - shares most component with a corolla of the same model year. Quite spacious.
Things to look out for
- make sure to go with a mechanic who can inspect engine and gear conditions. Check for engine smoke on start up ( mind you a vehicle would normally steam on first initial start up especially during colder climates)
- listen for engine noise ( ticking/ knocks ) at various rpms
- vehicle should be driven to make sure transmission selects fine
- check undercarriage for rust
- check through oil filler cap for intense sludge
- check vin to see vehicle has not been flooded before
- get a scanner that can scan at least engine, transmission and ABS module
- get a car with a good body too
