Well, I have a nice 1999 Sunfire I could sell you. She's got over 100,000 miles, but she runs really good & she gets great gas mileage. The only problem with her right now is the AC doesn't get as cold as it should.
I have been looking to get a new car, but I don't think I will until the end of the year, but I could be persuaded to part with the Sunfire sooner.
I just happen to subscribe to Consumer Reports & according to this month's issue, the top used cars, best in fuel economy from $10,000 to $20,000 are:
Toyota Prius 2004 - 06 44 MPG
Toyota Prius 2003 41 MPG
Honda Civic Hybrid 2006 - 07 37 MPG
Honda Civic Hybrid 2003 - 05 36 MPG
Honda Fit Sport (manual) 2007 34 MPG
Toyota Yaris Liftback (base, manual) 2007 34 MPG
Toyota Yaris sedan (base) 2007 32 MPG
Honda Fit (base) 2007 32 MPG
Scion xB (manual/automatic) 2004 - 06 32/30 MPG
ScionxA (manual/automatic) 2006 31/30 MPG
Honda Civic EX (manual) 2006 - 07 31 MPG
Mazda 3 (manual) 2004 - 07 30 MPG
Mini Cooper hatchback (manual) 2006 30 MPG
*All have an automatic transmission unless noted.
Any of these are good cars. And I've been reading up a lot on cars lately. Don't get the Aveo, not a good car. Yeah, the Prius is a good car, but I've seen on the news that they are hard to come by, either new or used. People of snatching them up.
Hope this helps; good luck on your car search.
