I don't understand the hate on Hyundai/Kia.
I bought my son a 2009 Kia Optima LX a couple of years ago.
$3500...109k non-smoker with clean history in good shape.
That thing is just a solid little rig, albeit with some underbody rust from it's prior life in upstate NY.
Runs great, good engineering....29mpg.
Toyota would be last on my list....Overpriced from fanboyitis, underengineered, loud, just not a desirable selection of vehicles.
I would consider Subaru for sure but my research has some concerns over engine life.
Older Ford Escapes have a near-cult following.
